The recommended gear setup will take you to 85% boon duration, which is enough to maintain permanent alacrity with just  casting {{Skill|Orders from Above}} on cooldown with no other alacrity sources.

You can expect to need less boon duration if you're playing with a support chronomancer or extra renegades. In those cases pieces of diviner gear can be replaced with berserker gear for extra DPS.

  • Players that own Secrets of the Obscure can swap Staff with Greatsword for maximum DPS, but at a loss of CC.


Legend Variants

Legendary Assassin Stance can be swapped out for other legends when utility is more valuable than damage:


Jalis

Legendary Dwarf Stance should be the default legend in fractals, as incoming CC is very common there and Inspiring Reinforcement is the best Stability Stability skill in the game.


Mallyx

Legendary Demon Stance should be used instead of Legendary Dwarf Stance if boonstrip is needed because of targets having boons (e.g. No Pain, No Gain or Vengeance instabilities). The AoE pull on Call to Anguish is also very useful for quickly dealing with trash mobs.


Ventari

Legendary Centaur Stance can be used to defend against projectile attacks.

The recommended gear setup will take you to 42% boon duration, which is enough to maintain permanent alacrity with just casting Orders from Above on cooldown with no other alacrity sources. Depending on the needs of your party or squad the amount of boon duration from gear required to maintain adequate alacrity may be a lot lower than what is listed here. You can expect to need less boon duration if you're playing with a support chronomancer or extra renegades. In those cases pieces of diviner gear can be replaced with berserker gear for extra DPS.

Usage

General Usage

  • You maintain alacrity for your party simply by pressing Orders from Above every time it becomes available, so making sure you have energy for that should be your top priority.
    • If you don't have enough sources of might from elsewhere in your party, you can use Heroic Command to top it up (This is particularly important in fractals). This will of course result in your personal DPS being lower, but the increase in party DPS is worth it.
  • Generally you should swap legends as soon as your swap is available, however in some cases you should delay a swap to fit a Orders from Above before swapping.
  • Your main DPS skills are Citadel Bombardment along with Chilling Isolation, Shackling Wave and Deathstrike (if using sword), or Mist Unleashed, Phantom's Onslaught and Eternity's Requiem (if using greatsword). However, you should only cast them if you'll have spare energy to cast your supportive skills too.
  • When you're not casting skills make sure you're consistently auto-attacking the boss, being careful not to interrupt the chain as the damage is heavily back-loaded.


Renegade Stance

  • When you swap to Legendary Renegade Stance you should immediately cast Icerazor's Ire.
  • You will likely have large amounts of energy available to cast your DPS skills while on renegade stance.
    • Make sure to get a second cast of Icerazor's Ire in before swapping legends.


Assassin Stance

  • When you swap to Legendary Assassin Stance you should immediately begin channeling Impossible Odds, only ending the upkeep when you swap legends.
  • While in Assassin Stance you will have more energy to work with and so can cast DPS skills more freely, however be careful not to spend too much energy and be forced to delay a Orders from Above or lose Impossible Odds


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.

  • Surge of the Mists should be your primary CC skill and against large hitbox targets or enemies against a wall it is one of the strongest CC skills in the game. 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.
  • Darkrazor's Daring outputs a large amount of total breakbar damage but over a long duration (6 seconds). This is best used as a tool to minimize damage from groups of trash mobs, or if you don't need instantaneous breakbar contribution.
  • Jade Winds should be used only as a last resort due to the large energy cost for relatively low CC output compared to your other options.

The best power alacrity source for fractals, and not a bad pick in raids if someone can cover the boons it lacks. Different legends provide a wealth of utility.
