Specializations

• Phantasmal Force is a small DPS increase, so if you would get some benefit out of Master of Fragmentation (and don't need the Might) you could make the switch.

• If you want to greatly simplify the rotation, you could swap the Sigil of Superior Sigil of Geomancy for a Sigil of Superior Sigil of Bursting and camp Torch. This is only a minor DPS loss.

Usage

Condition Virtuoso's rotation is incredibly simple:

• Use Bladecall and Unstable Bladestorm off cooldown.
• Spam Bladesong Sorrow and Bladesong Harmony - make sure not to spend all your blades just before Bladesong Sorrow comes off cooldown, as it is the priority.
• Weapon Swap off cooldown to trigger Sigil of Superior Sigil of Geomancy.
• Use The Prestige whenever it's available - make sure to manually attack afterwards as the stealth will prevent your autoattack.
• Phantasm skills are a tiny DPS increase, but can be good to generate extra blades. You can very easily hold on to either if you need the CC or projectile defence.
