He'd prone them while they are still off-balance from shield and then overhead/brain once before they can recover balance to get up. No one's really talking about impaling.

Re: 2h venoms-
I've found hewing arms with alternating curare/xentio is a massive bitch (lethargy + clumsy is epic levels of horrible for anyone that can miss, and it works best on other 2handers).
If for some reason the person isn't parrying head, alternating overhand with prefarar and underhand with curare does some pretty crazy damage, with nausea ticking away and them taking sensi damage hits, as well!
Situational, though, of course! Curare'll be the go-to, but you -can- work other venoms in there.
With a level 3 bastard sword (unsure if weapon speed affects it or not), it's 1.7-1.8s

It's unfortunate because your class is so heavily momentum based, but you either need to get to a point where they need to force a cure decision (i.e. kelp stack into a paralyse slickness stare if that's still possible) OR you need to actively hinder with something like shadowstrike. They either react (shield/run/cry) or they get to eat a few seconds of your unhindered offense. Just my 2c.
EDIT: Unless it was a Percussia stack (if you saw several instances of sonic booms coming to a head)... then you just gotta run and let that play out.
You could try forcing a kelp swap to hinder them ASAP (sicken/asthma til asthma sticks then sicken/sicken twice). I'm assuming they'll eat kelp at that point and stay paralysed. Then do asthma/clumsy, sicken/weary, sicken/sicken some more. Hopefully they swap again but kelp doesn't cure asthma. Then impatience/anorexia for the lock.
This is imprecise, but the idea is to stick asthma, then give manaleech and slickness with sicken, with the assumption they'll eat kelp when they have asthma/slickness instead of curing paralysis (stops them attacking). Then stick asthma/clumsy/weary, and do the sickens again for manaleech/slickness, and imp/anorexia to seal.
I've decided against picking two classes, and am going to invest in just one. The choice is down to three. Occultist (My favorite skillsets), 2Hand Runewarden (perhaps my favorite combat methods) and Monk (amazing to me with how much it benefits from artifacts.)
I will be artifacting the character to the teeth, so what I'd really like, if you guys don't mind, is giving your thoughts on which class you personally feel will be able to go the farthest. My primary concern is 1v1 or 1vMultiple combat, but I'd like you to consider group combat and raiding as well. Hell, even get in, ganking people and get out type of play too.
Which gets your vote? Assume very high personal skill level (not saying I have it, but that's the goal right? To get good at a class?) and heavy monetary investment.

Monk is always a good choice, very well rounded offensively, has good defensive options if you know how to use them, and I can't really think of a situation that they're at a real disadvantage.
Occultist is scarier than Monk in my opinion, if you're a true scripting/combat maestro. A lot of us aren't really sure how you're supposed to survive it once the Occultist is past a certain skill threshold, but that threshold is rather high, so it will take a lot of work before you start seeing real returns.
2H Runewarden is terrifying and easy. Of the three, you can perform at the high tiers of combat with this class with the least effort. Most of the game can't survive a 2H Runewarden with a Dreadblade for any length of time, so half the time you won't even need to use your finishers, but there's still a lot of potential and nuance in the class if you want to really get into it.
Assuming you're gonna go for lvl 3 stat/regen/sip on any of the three you'd just want like:
Dreadblade - 1600
Stick - 300
Stone - 350
Bracers - Ice + Isaz + Tendons
Mount/collar - 250
SoA Armour - 1000
Shadowcloak - 800 (being able to walk in when they're running without them noticing would be A+)
That's all I can really think of. Could grab a hammer if you want but honestly with the way 2h artie weapons scale right now there's no point. No one is going to live long enough for you to do fancy hammer stuff.
