The purpose/and or goal of this build, is to farm griffons. All of your damage will be from spamming riposite and D-riposite, with an occasional Gladiators defense to do more. I find that the griffons in *Vulture Drifts* are the best place to go, there are 4 set groups of 3 griffons, and 2 groups of 2 griffon patrols.

When you get to vulture drifts, cast illusion of weakness, then heal yourself. After that go to the first group and do the following.

• let 2 of the 3 griffons come running to you to attack
• hit them until your adrenaline is full for riposite
• cast sympathic visage (this is so they cannot gain adrenaline and spam final thrust on you)
• cast Gladiators Defense, Riposite, and Deadly Riposite all at once
• spam those three skills as they come available
• repeat the previous steps for all the other groups of griffons
• Use healing signet when needed, illusion of weakness is a safety net, just in case they pull off a final thrust on you

I have also provided a map to get to the particular area, with some details on the route i take, and where the mobs are located, although this build will work for mino/griff mix farming as well.
