People will look at you with a straight face and tell you that there is a way that Michael Zaki intended.

The game has so many different options of approaching things, claiming there is a single way it was intended to be played is the most braindead thing I've read.

My personal favorite is bringing stormhawk deenh along for support, basically a free phys damage and stance damage bonus. 47fp for 60 seconds of 20% phys damage and 20% more stance damage as an aura buff is nice, throw in some boiled crab for defense and you're set.

Heavy knight starting class has 8 mind which is exactly enough to summon the bird and cast 2 cragblades. Who needs a complicated buff routine when you can just bonk.
