Description:

Ichor: Single-target blight. Applies the same debuff as Beast’s Bile, but can target any rank. Small Blight Chance bonus vs Marked.

Windlass: Cleaves ranks 2, 3, and 4 with a chance to mark. Low accuracy.
Field Dressing: Heals like Battlefield Bandage, but cures DoTs instead of buffing healing.
Bodkin Volley and Barbed Volley: High-damage ranks 2, 3, and 4 cleave with low base accuracy and an accuracy bonus vs marked. Bodkin Volley ignores PROT and Barbed Volley applies bleed.
