Get something like these relics (taking damage give atk up is good aswell).
Expend stamina, use skill when you've ran out and/or youre about to be hit by a big attack (It mitigates the overwhelming majority of whatever damage you would have taken.
Use Ult for stagger, for damage buff, or as a longer get out of jail iframe free card.

I use 2H most of the time unless I find 2 weapons that are good, but I prefer 2h majority when i'm playing.

Get attacking gives dmg negation, getting hit gives negation, jump, and 2h/dw up passives, negation at full is fine aswell.

Also when you use your skill and an attack would otherwise kill you, you cannot die nor be knocked on your ass.

When you take damage you will get the sweating looking animation (you can hear when it triggers sounds like a fwooshing noise), makes your skill last longer, and the 2nd bop on it will do more damage and much heavier stagger

Get stamina, stance break, atk %, etc from the loot orbs
