Notes

Healing grenade to start restoration, use knife trick or Zaouli's Bane kills to keep restoration up. Knife trick should give constant uptime on heals + invis. Ember of Torches should give Knife trick back every time you get a kill with it, but use gambler's dodge to get it back in case you whiff.

For second and third encounter, swap out minor/boss specs for taken specs.
For third encounter, also swap out Scatter Signal for Rewind Rounds Bait And Switch Supremacy. Can swap to golden gun but it's personal preference. Imo blade barrage is quicker since you'll keep Assassin's Cowl for invis and healing to capture totems.

Stats: Max resilience + discipline. Then recov/mob.
