• Blind, Blurred Vision, etc.

[edit] Variants

• Any skills from the three attribute lines this build uses can be used in place of Vicious Attack and Spear of Lightning as long as they require no activation time as you will want to spend as much time as possible attacking to build adrenaline.
• However adding other adrenal skills is not recommended since it will add to the recharge time of "Go for the Eyes!"
