Esoteric Skill Enhancement (Level 3) | Raid Captain (Level 3) |
Esoteric Skill Enhancement will allow your esoteric skills to deal additional damage for each orb you have. Since you will mainly perform skill combos to deal damage, you will have multiple orbs most of the time.
Raid Captain is also one of the best Engraving to pick since you will be investing your combat stats on Swiftness, it gives you additional damage depending on your movement speed.

Wardancer Strengths & Weaknesses
Wardancer Strengths
High Mobility
Some of the Wardancer's skills have movement which makes it easy to close in on enemies and that are hard to catch.
Good Disruption
Most of the Wardancer's skills can disrupt the enemy's attack animation. These skills are used as the opener when starting combos to deal damage.
Wardancer Weaknesses
Lacks Push Immunity
The Wardancer has very little skills with Push Immunity so it is easy to knockdown the Wardancer. You will mostly rely on using space bar to dodge skills but has a high cooldown time.
Lacks AOE Crowd Control Skills
The Wardancer heavily relies on combos to juggle enemies and deal damage. The lack of Crowd Control AoE skills will make it more difficult to perform combos without getting interrupted.
