General Tips

• You can freely interrupt your Sword auto-attack chain without losing DPS.
• Swap off from Sword as soon as your weapon swap is available
• Once the boss is below 50% you should use Final Thrust whenever you're on Sword.
• You can provide extra might for your group by using Arcing Arrow inside your Scorched Earth or another fire field.
• Some bosses have attacks that are harmful to the group if they're reflected (Primarily Matthias Gabrel and Cairn the Indomitable), make sure to familiarize yourself with these and avoid reflecting them with Shattering Blow.
• Outrage will come off cooldown in between Head Butt casts - you can use it immediately as it doesn't interrupt other channels.
  • You can also save Outrage to break stuns inflicted during the encounter if you think you may need to.
