Perception

30

Invest into Strength and Dexterity, aiming to reach 30 in each stat to maximize your damage potential and increase heavy attack chance and skill damage thanks to Vital Force. However, as you progress and your gear improves over time, you will want to aim for 60 points into strength to make use of the extra HP and heavy attack chance. Dexterity should be your secondary focus to improve your critical hit while the rest of your points should go into perception.

Defense

The most important melee damaging skills in your arsenal are Death Blow and Guillotine Blade. Meanwhile, your important ranged staff skills are Serial Fire Bombs and Judgment Lightning alongside Chain Lightning. Level them to purple as soon as possible in order to boost your damage.

High Focus is a great utility skill that increases your movement & cooldown speed, allowing you to remain on the move while using your skills even more often.

For passives, you should focus on upgrading Robust Constitution & Mana Amp for additional health, health regen and max mana. Vital Force matches well with Robust Constitution and considerably increases your damage. Indomitable Armor is a great defensive passive while Echoic Barrier helps with resisting silences while Forbidden Sanctuary offers a flat skill damage increase.

Rotations

Single Target Kill Rotation ↴

• This rotation serves as your primary kill rotation and it begins with Devastating Smash to jump onto and stun your target. Follow up with Ascending Slash to Prone your target and then use Gaia Crash to deal quick damage while they are on the ground. Continue with Stunning Blow and Death Blow before finishing them off with Guillotine Blade.

AOE Burst Ranged Rotation ↴

• Use this rotation to deal AOE damage and help with chipping away at the enemy zerg by picking up kills. Start with a fully charged Serial Fire Bombs before continuing with a channel of Judgment Lightning followed by an instant cast before using Chain Lightning to finish off the target.

Ice Spear: Use this skill to CC groups of enemies pulled by your tanks or groups that are caught out of position.

DaVinci's Courage: You should aim to use this as often as possible to heal yourself and your group while also increasing the defensive stats of yourself and your party.

High Focus: Use this on cooldown or before pushes in order to boost your movement speed and cooldown speed, letting you weave in and out while using your skills more often.

Useful Information

• Choose Lady Knight Kamarshea as your guardian; it offers vital defense with its shield, capable of absorbing damage up to 50% of your mana. This not only assists in reducing incoming damage but also accelerates your cooldown rate, enabling more frequent use of your abilities.
