Usage

Damage

• Most of your damage comes from 24px Chaos Vortex. Dodge and walk into mirage mirrors as often as possible to gain access to the ambush skill.
• Always have three clones up, as your clones deal a lot of damage through Infinite Horizon. To quickly generate clones you can use Phase Retreat followed by False Oasis or Jaunt.
• Weapon swap off cooldown to proc
  .
• You can throw Chaos Storm at crowds of enemies to trigger Chaotic Interruption. The trait has no internal cooldown and triggers off each interrupt, so you can potentially get up to 25 triggers from one Chaos Storm.
  • Thanks to Descent into Madness, your heal skill provides a second Chaos Storm centered on yourself.

Defense

• You're literally always dodging with this build, so you shouldn't have too much trouble with enemy attacks.
• Use your massive range to your advantage by kiting enemies and staying out of their attacks.
• Use Chaos Armor if you're taking hits.
• Jaunt is your primary condition cleanse. If you have a lot of trouble with conditions, you can slot Mantra of Resolve.

Crowd Control

• Diversion
• Chaos Storm
• Your heal skill traited with Descent into Madness
• Signet of Domination (as a last resort)
