Notes & Builds

• The second tier bonus is very valuable and worth building around on it's own. The remainder of it's bonuses don't have synergy with each other and aren't very compelling in terms of power level.
• The hatchets are a weapon that allow you to alternate between melee and ranged on the fly. They also have a high block stat in general. Since mid stance is a blocking stance, the armor set makes more sense when taking into account the hatchets may need a high toughness so the combinations do not get interrupted, nor your mobility. Hatchets are also ki-hungry and heavy armor usually increased your ki consumption. Considering all these factors, the armor set is fairly decent.
