Being Kieran Thackeray

So, I've been playing through the mini-missions in the Hearts of the North installment with...limited success. I understand the Thackeray skills, and Miku is a pretty awesome sidekick, but I've been wiping quite a bit. Any suggestions as to a specific combination of the Thackeray skills I should use to stay alive longer?

Use Keiran's Sniper Shot only on enemies Miku calls. Use Gravestone Marker to kite from melee if you take too much damage or to finish off enemies. Spam Terminal Velocity on recharge. You get bleeding either from Keiran's Sniper Shot or Miku's Jagged Strike. Spam Rain of Arrows on recharge. Only use Relentless Assault to remove conditions, save it most for Blind and Deep Wound. Use Nature's Blessing when you fall below 75% health. You do not want Deep Wound on you when you use Nature's Blessing as it will decrease the healing. If you want to play smarter, interrupt res skills and healers with Terminal Velocity to kill faster. Killing most enemies will be from Keiran's Sniper Shot, especially against Warriors since some some bring self healing.

Thakery's skills are set. Pay attention to what Miku says, when she uses her Promise of Death skill it counts as a mark for Kierin's sniper shot, at 900 damage, which will one shot most anything if you hit them fast enough, so don't waste it. She just shouts it as a battle quote and you can't auto target her mark, so you need to do a little mouse work there.

I also just remebered, you can use consumables, you wont get any health benefits but speed and skill recharge will still work. Plus once you start the mission you can swap out his bow with one that works better, you can use one that decreases energy and adds damage (like one of the bonus bows) since the energy will not be effected.

be nice if the bitch actually CALLED a target so you can LOCK on to it. minister chos estate works with called targets
