Arcblade

Carve through plate with geometric precision

One blade and a free hand allow you to duel enemies one-on-one using Arcana to find the exact seam in their armor. You stand at the front, turning a messy brawl into a series of clean, surgical strikes. Only one race can master this technique. Claim this path if you value flawless execution over brute force.
