Usage

Quickness

You apply Quickness through the trait

Elevated Compassion

. This pulses healing and Quickness whenever you are using upkeep energy of six or above. Fortunately, all of your non-

Legendary Dragon Stance

legends have a skill that uses exactly six. Thus while in these legends you want to maintain the skill in question for almost the entire time. Glint is a little trickier as all the skills use upkeep. Which is why

Legendary Assassin Stance

and

Legendary Dwarf Stance

is used

Legends

• Legendary Assassin Stance
  provides the highest personal DPS through
  Impossible Odds
  .

• Legendary Dwarf Stance
  You can provide Stability through
  Inspiring Reinforcement
  , CC through
  Forced Engagement
  .

• Legendary Centaur Stance
  is an extremely niche option. It is a massive DPS loss that should only be taken if your group desperately needs projectile block through
  Protective Solace
  .

Usage

Opener

• Start on Shiro with
  Impossible Odds

1. Chilling Isolation
2. Shackling Wave
3. when energy gets low swap to
   Legendary Dwarf Stance
4. Vengeful Hammers

Rotation concept

Use

Chilling Isolation

and

Shackling Wave

off cooldown. Try to stay in

Legendary Assassin Stance

until your energy gets low then swap to

Legendary Dwarf Stance

, Remember to ativate the upkeep skill when you swap. When you are in

Legendary Dwarf Stance

try to swap back to

Legendary Assassin Stance

as soon as possible for better dps uptime.
