Stoneshard 0.8.1.13 Counter Sword + Shield Arna vs Manticore (rescue path)

Since i got Hold the Line it's been great, and in this fight besides helping me not be Knockedback and/or Dazed it makes Raise Shield (because of my Light shield) much more usable vs bosses, so i can more or less tank the Manticore too. Thou i really wish there was a better option in shields, and hope evil devs reenable at least the Rondache if they won't add other higher lvl shields with Counter. Speaking of which the Counter from Hold the Line with Raise Shield is also great, well plus Hornet Honey and Heroism proc and the Duelist Doublet too, thou the Manticore did break my chest so Duelist Doublet doesn't protect that much. But to be fair i also don't have any Armored Combat skills yet thou i want to get all the passive sometime in the future, but first i will get some Survival skills because next up i'm going to rescue Marlo at the Order Prison and i want to help him myself. Overall i enjoy this build, doesn't have as much direct dmg as i would want but makes up for it with the Counter dmg. The defense is also not the best, imo Defensive Tactic from Warfare and some active skills in Armored Combat can do better than a Light shield, thou with this Counter synergy from Light shields it's good and i don't regret it.
