Overview

A power boon support build that provides permanent Alacrity and near-permanent Fury.

Unfortunately, this build provides minimal Might and is reliant on being able to hit a target to generate Alacrity. It also relies on Virtues to do competitive damage, thus it must maintain Aegis on itself for Unscathed Contender. This makes Alacrity Willbender is a rather niche pick.

• You can maintain Alacrity without any boon duration, but as you need to hit a target consistently to generate it, a small amount of extra concentration was taken to provide some padding.

General Tips

1. Cast Shield of Wrath off cooldown.
2. Use Binding Blade to fill in gaps where you don't have time for a full auto chain.
3. You can adjust where you use Sword of Justice depending on whether you want to focus on DPS or Alacrity by using it before Rushing Justice or Flowing Resolve respectively. Make sure you do not end up compromising your Alacrity uptime though!
