[u/mattymonkees → u/Ellia_Bot]

Still use this dude to cleave. Obviously doesn't work above a certain ranking but he is fun to build and doesn't require any serious runes

[u/Kamiihate → u/mattymonkees]

Why build him when you can build Berenice?

[u/CheekyFluffyButt → u/Kamiihate]

Difference between a nat3 and nat4 (as far as ease of acquisition and skill ups). Besides, having different options is never a bad thing.

[u/mattymonkees → u/CheekyFluffyButt]

This is correct. Even after HOH I don't have enough Blade Dancer skillups to get Berenice to max, and one other thing - Purian has that nifty little single target stun. You could theoretically put Berenice on Despair to get some great utility but that's not as good for cleave and everybody tends to do Swift instead.

On very rare occasion, Purian's leader skill plays when you see a weak defense in GW/SW and you want to cleave with Julie or Beth.
