Equipment Variants

Rune

  • Rune of Fighter - Trades condition damage reduction for extra power damage.

Sigil

  • Sigil of Purging - Even greater cleansing

Usage

General

When safe to do so, lead the approach with your pets. Once your pet closes the gap use you should use your multiple leaps to also close the gap doing massive damage once in close. Once you become at risk use the same leaps to once again widen the gap.

Sustain

  • Your primary way to keep the pet alive is by using Pet Swap try to save this for as late as possible as to reduce the chance of the next pet dying to fresh cooldowns.
  • Quick Draw + Serpent's Strike/Stalker's Strike/Swoop/Counterattack - Pairing these allow for extra evades and blocks that aren't usually possible.
  • Stoneform/Signet of Stone - Great defensive option primarily for countering power and hybrid damage builds.
  • Weapon Swap Weapon Swap & Healing Spring is where most of your cleansing will come from. You'll want to save Signet of Renewal for the last moment as the passive regen is high value, however if you do use this skill then make sure to Pet Swap before the pet dies.
  • Healing Spring should be used in combination with your multiple leap finishers for bonus healing. You can heal up to 60% more after using all leap finishers.

Doing damage Pets: A major source of your damage comes from your pets. Without them you become much weaker.

    1. Use Icy Pounce & Lightning Breath when timed alongside your burst for greatest effectivness.
    2. Use Snow Leopard Snow Leopard when you want to put on as much pressure and damage as possible
    3. Then swap to River Drake River Drake to alleviate pressure from your stronger pet

The Sword/Dagger burst combo:

  1. Weapon swap gives you Quick Draw for first skills reduced cooldown.
  2. Fury gives you Opening Strike for increased damage.
  3. Use Serpent's Strike
  4. Then Pounce
  5. and finish with Stalker's Strike

Greatsword burst combo:

  2. Fury gives you Opening Strike for increased damage.
  3. Use Maul
  4. Use Auto/Swoop until you can use Maul again
