I'm not trying to do my own thing, I'm asking for help here for a reason. I'm okay with cheese builds. I'm just not a fan of that one specifically for some reason, it's just unfun to me and doesn't fit my playstyle or something.
I'm definitely still at the learning and research stage. I spend most of my time out of spvp in the arena dying, looking at my death recap and looking up the skills that killed me.
