Sigil of Superior Sigil of Bloodlust stacking sigil option

Consumables

- personal food option

Usage

General

Output constant sustained damage using Symbols, Sword of Justice other weapon skills like Holy Strike. You want to use these skills as they come off cooldown and constantly be swapping between weapons to maximize damage output.
Use Cleansing Flame during melee and Zealot's Fire (from Zealot's Flame) for single target burst
Use Procession of Blades and Test of Faith whenever the enemy group is pushing towards you or you believe they will hit the enemy to their fullest extent in melee range.
- Try not to predict the enemy group far in advance - the best use of these traps is during your own group spikes and just dropping them when you need them
Spear of Justice will pull target(s) towards you at a long range. Use this on enemy Necromancers and other high value targets to secure kills, or to interrupt enemy Winds if you see them coming
Wings of Resolve is an incredibly powerful mobility tool and can be used offensively and defensively - make sure you use this first before other defensive cooldowns to avoid damage
Shield of Courage will only block attacks from the front, meaning you need to face your enemies for this skill to be effective
Renewed Focus Is an extremely powerful form of Invulnerability you can use to escape from enemy spike damage or Winds/Wells.
- Because Renewed Focus resets your virtues, you should use them as your primary defensive cooldowns before using RF
