| |
| − | ** Your equipment in general has minimal impact on this builds performance, but concentration is helpful for {{Tooltip|Alacrity}} uptime
| |

| |
| − | * {{Utility|Sharpening Skull}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ==Usage==
| |
| − | ===General===
| |
| − | ====Settings====
| |
| − | * Under '''General Options / Combat/Movement''' turn on '''Allow Skill Retargetting''' and set '''Ground Targetting''' to '''Instant Cast''', this will make {{Skill|Illusion of Life}} cast at the location your cursor is at the end of the cast, instead of where you initially targetted
| |
| − | * Under '''General Options / User Interface''' check '''Always show squad health bars''' and '''Always show party health bars'''. These will make it much easier to keep track of who needs your support
| |
| − | * Also under '''General Options / User Interface''' turn on '''Thick party health bars''' and '''Thick squad health bars'''
| |
| − | * Under '''Squad Options''' check '''View as a grid'''. This will allow you to keep track of your allies' health, enabling better decision-making and skill management
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ====Surviving====
| |
| − | * This build has high passive defense
| |
| − | * This build has low mobility skill access, staying very close to your tag and group is critical
| |
| − | ** Target isolated players to reposition with {{Skill|Illusionary Leap}}/{{Skill|Swap}}, the clone will die before {{Skill|Swap}} can be used if it is summoned into damage
| |
| − | *** Be ready to '''Dodge''' as soon as you press {{Skill|Swap}}
| |
| − | * This builds has moderate active defenses
| |
| − | ** Use {{Skill|Echo of Memory}}/{{Skill|Deja Vu}} to get through enemy damage
| |
| − | *** Do not to waste {{Skill|Echo of Memory}}, {{Skill|Deja Vu}} will not activate if you are not hit during the cast time of {{Skill|Echo of Memory}}, leaving you defenseless
| |
| − | *** {{Skill|Signet of the Ether}} will reset the cooldown of {{Skill|Echo of Memory}} but not if {{Skill|Deja Vu}} is active
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ===Overall Priorities===
| |
| − | ====High====
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Illusion of Life}}
| |
| − | ====Moderate====
| |
| − | * CC
| |
| − | * Boon rip
| |
| − | ====Low====
| |
| − | * Supporting allies
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ===Specific Priorities===
| |
| − | ====CC skills by priority====
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Tides of Time}} - in melee
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Gravity Well}}
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Temporal Curtain}}
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Illusionary Leap}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Boon rip skills by priority====
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Time Sink}} - when in range and targets lack {{Tooltip|Stability}}, to proc {{Trait|Vicious Expression}}
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Split Second}}/{{Skill|Rewinder}} - when in range
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Phantasmal Disenchanter}} - if applicable
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Null Field}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ===Detailed Explanations===
| |
| − | ====Illusion of Life====
| |
| − | * Focus on reviving allies who are far away with {{Skill|Illusion of Life}}, don't waste the skill on players that can be hand rezzed.
| |
| − | * Normally {{Skill|Continuum Split}} should be saved for {{Skill|Gravity Well}}, but resetting {{Skill|Illusion of Life}} is also an acceptable use
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ====CC====
| |
| − | * Prioritize both boon rip and CC on your allies spikes, watch out for the following skills:
| |
| − | ** Winds - {{Skill|Winds of Disenchantment}}
| |
| − | ** Wells - {{Skill|Well of Corruption}}+{{Skill|Well of Suffering}}
| |
| − | ** Traps - {{Skill|Procession of Blades}}+{{Skill|Test of Faith}}
| |
| − | ** Shades - {{Skill|Desert Shroud}}
| |
| − | * Your CC skills also remove boons with {{Sigil|Superior Sigil of Absorption}} and {{Trait|Vicious Expression}}
| |
| − | * Use {{Skill|Continuum Split}} when casting {{Skill|Gravity Well}} to reset the cooldown
| |
| − | ** Use {{Skill|Continuum Split}} while out of the way of enemy damage and pushes so you aren't brought back in an awkward spot or have your split ended early by damage
| |
| − | ** While inside the split, use as many skills as possible such as {{Skill|Null Field}} and '''Shatter''' skills as the cooldowns reset
| |
| − | ** You can cast {{Skill|Continuum Split}} as another skill cast is finishing instead of before the cast to give yourself slightly more time in split
| |
| − | * Use {{Skill|Temporal Curtain}} to pull targets into other CC and spikes, including your own {{Skill|Gravity Well}}
| |
| − | ** {{Skill|Temporal Curtain}} is particularly important when revenants range spike with {{Skill|Phase Smash}}
| |
| − | * Use {{Skill|Illusionary Leap}} as your group pushes into the enemy or when trying to catch an enemy that is lagging behind
| |
| − | ** Do not put yourself out of position trying to use it
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ====Boon rip====
| |
| − | * Your shatters ({{Skill|Split Second}}, {{Skill|Rewinder}} and {{Skill|Time Sink}}) proc {{Trait|Shattered Concentration}}
| |
| − | ** Since your shatters are melee range, use them when crossing through enemies
| |
| − | *** Don't go out of your way to hit enemies with shatters if it would put you out of position
| |
| − | ** While proccing {{Trait|Vicious Expression}} with {{Skill|Time Sink}} is valuable, using it on targets with {{Tooltip|Stability}} to proc {{Trait|Shattered Concentration}} is still ok
| |
| − | * Target enemies on the edges of the group with {{Skill|Phantasmal Disenchanter}}, the phantasm is fragile
| |
| − | * Land {{Skill|Null Field}} just before an allies spike when possible. Try to place it so one edge is on the enemy group and the other edge is in the direction they are moving
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ====Supporting allies====
| |
| − | * Cast {{Skill|Well of Eternity}} where your group will be when it finishes ticking
| |
| − | * If possible, hit allies as well as enemies with {{Skill|Null Field}}, but prioritize enemies
| |
