Utility

Skill Variants

Healing

• provides more group healing at the expense of personal healing.
• will provide the most uptime in fights with very low pressure where you aren't pressing your heal skill.

Utility

• for large hitbox bosses, where you know you will be able to pick up the second conjure.
• can replace or , particularly useful in very fast fractal groups.

Elite

• is a minor DPS loss and much simpler to use. Particularly beneficial if you won't get a use out of the second FGS.

Specializations

Trait Variants

• You should bring if Fury uptime is bad.
• can be swapped to for an alternative rotation.
• might be worth taking in fractals as Weakness uptime will likely be poor so you won't benefit from the increased critical chance. The extra vitality will provide some additional precision via , but you will still need to make up the rest.

General Tips

• If running , swap to water attunement at step 17 and use before instantly attuning twice to and continuing the rotation from step 20.
• Make sure to use enough that it isn't sitting at full ammo. You should only use it when in /, and should try to line it up with other damage modifiers, such or or the bonus power from .
• Use shortly after you swap to / to make sure as many of its ticks happen while you're in double fire as possible.
• After the first use of (in either attunement), use off cooldown. Use instead if you know the target will die or phase within 20 seconds.
• Make sure not to interrupt your auto attack chains, as their damage is heavily backloaded.
• In encounters you should always be looking for opportunities to reset your attunement back to / so that you can repeat your burst. Split Phases or periods where the target is immune to damage are ideal - try to time your attunement swap so that you enter / just before the target becomes vulnerable again so that you will benefit from .
• Make sure that you have the boss selected before casting to avoid flying away to your death.
  • This is also relevant for , and also to a lesser extent.

Breakbars

• inflicts a short daze that is rounded up to be equivalent to a 1 second daze when used against a breakbar.
• is available as your 5 skill. Be mindful of your positioning when casting this, as it will move you approximately 300 units away from your target.
• is available as your 4 skill.
• is available as your Air/Earth 3 skill.
