Usage

Quickness

You apply Quickness through the trait Elevated Compassion. This pulses healing and Quickness whenever you are using upkeep energy of six or above. Fortunately, all of your non-Legendary Dragon Stance legends have a skill that uses exactly six. Thus while in these legends you want to maintain the skill in question for almost the entire time. Glint is a little trickier as all the skills use upkeep. Which is why Legendary Assassin Stance and Legendary Dwarf Stance is used

Legends

• Legendary Assassin Stance provides the highest personal DPS through Impossible Odds.

• Legendary Dwarf Stance You can provide Stability through Inspiring Reinforcement, CC through Forced Engagement.

• Legendary Centaur Stance is an extremely niche option. It is a massive DPS loss that should only be taken if your group desperately needs projectile block through Protective Solace.

Usage

Opener

• Start on Shiro with Impossible Odds

1. Chilling Isolation
2. Shackling Wave
3. when energy gets low swap to Legendary Dwarf Stance
4. Vengeful Hammers

Rotation concept

Use Chilling Isolation and Shackling Wave off cooldown. Try to stay in Legendary Assassin Stance until your energy gets low then swap to Legendary Dwarf Stance, Remember to ativate the upkeep skill when you swap. When you are in Legendary Dwarf Stance try to swap back to Legendary Assassin Stance as soon as possible for better dps uptime.
