What does this source build cover?
This is a completed guide for Plague Doctor's Surgical Bloodletting, including skill tree, incarnation tree, items,... If you want to ask something about the guide, or just want to give some advices, feel free to ping @pandora_is_my_name or @latou in HS Discord server Contributor: Pandora, latou
This build focuses on Surgical Bloodletting, a melee physical skill that creates orbiting knives with subskill tree. The main idea is using the "Unarmed Wargod" node from incarnation tree (HLv19 required) and items that stack Attack Damage to further increase the hand's weapon damage.

How does the source recommend playing it?
The gameplay is very simple: use Molten Paw swap, and spam Surgical. Randy is needed to activate once per 15s, and Defunct Surgeon is optional.

What does the source FAQ clarify?
Q: How can I get piercing affix? Is it mandatory or I can play without it? A: Some items have piercing affix, such as Commander's Sash, Archer's Story, Reverse Card. Divine Piercing augment can be used if you don't want to play with piercing items and don't have Reverse Card yet. Piercing is mandatory in this build, you can't play without it.
Q: I really want to play Surgical Bloodletting, but I'm not at HLv 19 yet. Is there a weapon I can use until I can rush Unarmed Wargod? (outdated) A: Eden's Harvester, Glowstick Estoc, Vorpal Sharktooth,... are my recommendation
