Silkbind Attack	Silkbind Attack Description
Herculean Draw	When armed with a bow, the hunter can use Herculean Drawn, a special attack that enables the hunter to quickly dash in the direction he’s facing. Using this attack temporarily sharpens the hunter’s attack. If used with Ironsilk, the draw strength is improved.
