Overview

A power DPS build for Conduit that scales well with hitbox size.

Due to legend swaps having reduced cooldowns, weapons swaps are not aligned with them, which may feel unintuitive for experienced Revenant players.

Utility

Utility

• Players without Secrets of the Obscure don't have a strong second weapon set for DPS, so Greatsword can be replaced with Staff for access to more CC. This is also an option if you prefer the simplicity or want the extra utility, though it is a moderate DPS loss.

Specializations

• Spirit Boon is taken to provide a small amount of group Might, but it offers no damage so you could take either of the other options if you prefer more sustain or higher personal Might generation.
• Run Shared Wisdom and Kinetic Insight if not using Greatsword.

Relic

• Full Berserker stats is only a small DPS loss.
• Relic of the Eagle or Relic of the Thief are the best options for players that don't own Secrets of the Obscure.
• In situations where sustain is more important than maximum damage, you can take Vindication over Lasting Legacy for a minor dps loss in exchange for great self sustain. If this is somehow still not enough sustain, you can also consider Relic of the Mist Stranger for even more self sustain at an additional cost of dps.

Utility

Usage

Rotation

Start on Legendary Assassin Stance and Greatsword. You can pre-cast Enchanted Daggers for a bit of extra damage if desired.

Thanks to Enhanced Embodiment, legend swaps have a much shorter cooldown than usual. As such, on each weapon the structure is broadly the same - you begin in Legendary Assassin Stance and use each of your DPS skills once, swap to Legendary Entity Stance and use Twin Moon Sweep twice while regularly using Beguiling Haze to trigger Relic of Peitha as often as possible, then back to Legendary Assassin Stance to get a second use of your key weapon skills, before swapping weapon.

Throughout the rotation, use Cosmic Wisdom off cooldown.

Beguiling Haze benefits from explanation: This skill throws a projectile, and triggers a shadowstep if it hits a target. In melee range this doesn't matter too much, but if used at range the shadowstep will interrupt any skill you may have started casting afterwards, so care should be taken.

If it hits a target, you can reactivate the skill twice more for no energy cost (the tooltip also says it has no cast time, which is half true - the throw has no cast time, but the shadow step still does).

This skill (and Deathstrike) will trigger Relic of Peitha, which has a four-second cooldown, so the timing is carefully arranged to maximise the number of triggers.

Opener

1. Impossible Odds
2. Eternity's Requiem
3. Cosmic Wisdom - this is instant cast, so you can use it at the same time as Eternity's Requiem
4. Weapon Swap

Sword Loop

1. Deathstrike - this triggers Relic of Peitha
2. Shackling Wave
3. Chilling Isolation
4. Legendary Entity Stance
5. Twin Moon Sweep
6. Beguiling Haze
7. Release Potential: Dervish
8. Preparation Thrust ⇒ Brutal Blade
9. Beguiling Haze - this exact timing is a small optimisation for DPS, but not essential
10. Preparation Thrust ⇒ Brutal Blade ⇒ Rift Slash
11. Chilling Isolation
12. Gladiator's Defense - this is a priority skill that will interrupt Chilling Isolation if cast too soon
13. Beguiling Haze - the damage from Gladiator's Defense occurs instantly but the skill does have a cast time, so immediately using this is desirable to cancel the animation
14. Twin Moon Sweep
15. Legendary Assassin Stance - you can use this during the cast of Twin Moon Sweep
16. Impossible Odds
17. Release Potential: Assassin
18. Preparation Thrust ⇒ Brutal Blade ⇒ Rift Slash x2

Opener

Razah Loop

1. Beguiling Haze
2. Twin Moon Sweep
3. Release Potential: Dervish

Break bars

Due to their large energy costs (or requirement to swap to staff) all of this build's CC options will result in a large drop-off in your DPS. However, they are all powerful AoE control effects so they can be used to rescue your group from dangerous situations and are well worth pressing once you get comfortable with resetting your burst windows.

• Jade Winds has a large energy cost for relatively low CC output, but can still be useful given the correct situation.
• Surge of the Mists (only if using Staff) is one of the strongest CC skills in the game. However be aware that this is only a last resort CC option, as it will reduce your damage enormously just to bring a staff at all, even if you never use it. If possible, step back from the target slightly before casting this to maximize the impacts that land on the boss. Be careful using this skill near the edges of platforms, such as on Xera or the final boss of the Chaos fractal as the forced movement can send you over the edge.
