Durable though - probably the hardest build to kill in the game.
Personally haven't tried that set up, but from my tankiest setup with my Str/Dex build, avians can one shot me in two ways.

If I'm unbuffed, or even if I am buffed but all their skills crit.

A normal encounter, I could live through 2 attempted combos. If I'm lucky with dodge, 3.

That's 1:1 though, the moment 2 avians are on me, dead no matter what.
