Usage

• Most of your damage comes from a Burning, meaning that if it gets cleansed, the build isn't fulfilling its role. Always try to coordinate your main skills with you group bomb, to ensure trash condis get cleansed and your burn can tick longer and deal damage.
• To play this build effectively you should aim to use all of your skills rapidly. The only skills you do not use off cooldown are defensive, such as healing. You also should keep your Virtue of Justice unused to ensure you are receiving the passive activation.
• Permeating Wrath and Symbolic Power are your main sources of damage. Place Symbol of Swiftness and Symbol of Punishment carefully to proc it as much as possible.
• Rotate between your weapon sets, using your symbols off cooldown. Sword of Justice provides a significant Burning spike, and should be constantly used.
• Wall of Reflection should be thought of as a DPS ability, the reflected projectiles will proc Virtue of Justice/Permeating Wrath.
