Overview

A Herald for the Mad King’s Labyrinth with concentration, conditional damage, magic find, and survivability. With permanent Regeneration, 24px Switftness, Protection, and Quickness this build focuses on the squad’s survivability and spreading boons to ensure recognition of the kills in the Mad King’s Labyrinth.

This build specifically refrains from increased Power, Precision, and Ferocity. It keeps them at the absolute minimum for level 80.

Variants

• If using no infusions to add 24px Concentration then full Ritualist can be used. What matters is that concentration over 1000 caps the 100% Boon Duration, so any additional concentration provides no additional benefit.

Consumables

Food

• Adds concentration and +40% MF

Utility

• Readily available during the festival and improves conditional damage with +30% MF

Usage

Standard Rotation

The goal is to maintain speed and survivability but avoid adding power and direct damage. Tag the mobs, do not one-shot them.

In Legendary Dragon Stance run Facet of Light Facet of Elements and Facet of Chaos simultaneously to have an Energy Upkeep cost of -1 allowing Quickness to appear. Once your energy is below 10% switch to Assassin and you will start at 70% Energy.

In Legendary Assassin Stance run Impossible Odds to have a Movement Speed Increase of 50% as well as the -1 Energy Upkeep cost. Once your energy is below 10% switch to Dragon Stance and you will start at 70% Energy.

With this, you will also continuously have 6x stacks of Rising Momentum which will also help maintain your high movement speed.
