Usage

General

• Most of the damage on the build comes from spamming Mortar Shot with Quickness. This is best used in melee range, spamming right on top of your target.

• Every application of Superspeed also applies Quickness, making it very important for the build.

• Gyro and healing skills all apply Superspeed, Function Gyro included so don't be afraid to use it frequently in combat.

• Toss Elixir H counts as a healing skill and therefore applies superspeed. Another elixir toolbelt with a similar effect is Toss Elixir U.

• Sigil of Superior Sigil of Celerity applies Quickness on a 20s ICD, which lines up with the CD of Thunderclap perfectly.

• There's not a whole lot of cleansing in the build, most of it comes from swapping in and out of Mortar Kit to proc Sigil of Cleansing every 9 seconds.

• Hammer mainly fills a defensive role although it has good damage. Use it to block, evade and reflect attacks.
