| − | ===General===
| |
| − | ====Settings====
| |
| − | * Under '''General Options / User Interface''' check '''Always show squad health bars''' and '''Always show party health bars'''. These will make it much easier to keep track of who needs your support.
| |
| − | * Also under '''General Options / User Interface''' turn on '''Thick party health bars'''
| |
| − | ** '''Thick squad health bars''' can be used too as a matter of personal preference, but is not recommended for large numbers
| |
| − | * Under '''Squad Options''' uncheck '''View as a grid'''. This will allow you to keep track of your allies' boons, conditions and health, enabling a better decision-making and skill management.

| |
| − | ===Detailed Explanations===
| |
| − | ====Applying Stability for allies====
| |
| − | * Apply {{Tooltip|Stability}} before allies get caught by enemy CC
| |
| − | * Enemy CC is most likely to land when they spike your group, your group is moving through theirs, or your group is moving away from theirs.
| |
| − | * Be careful not to apply {{Tooltip|Stability}}, especially from {{Skill|"Stand Your Ground!"}}, while your allies are under the effect of {{Tooltip|Winds of Disenchantment}}
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Stunbreaking caught allies====
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Mantra of Liberation}} is your group stunbreak, use its charges very carefully - the cooldown is too long to waste them
| |
| − | * Allies are most likely to be CCed at the same times they need {{Tooltip|Stability}} or while they are the focus target.
| |
| − | * Turn your camera, make use of a “Look Behind” keybind and listen to voice communications to pay attention to caught allies.
| |
| − | * Give them additional support after stunbreaking as needed
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Signet of Mercy====
| |
| − | * Watch for low allied health bars to enable precasting (Using the skill before an ally is downed so that it finishes casting on them as soon as they do go down)
| |
| − | * Give yourself quickness with {{Skill|Mantra of Solace}} before beginning the cast
| |
| − | * Cover the cast with {{Tooltip|Stability}} ({{Skill|"Stand Your Ground!"}} or {{Skill|Mantra of Liberation}} only - the others are too slow)
| |
| − | * Make sure to communicate over voice comms. Broadcast that you are beginning, casting and finishing the rez, include the name of the person being rezzed if possible.
| |
| − | * If another player with a higher priority calls they are rezzing at the same time, cancel the rez (“Stow Weapon” keybind or Escape button while in a Tome skill) and communicate the fact you are cancelling.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Condition clear====
| |
| − | * You have limit condition clear compared to other supports, focus on using yours when allies have {{Tooltip|Immobilize}}
| |
| − | ** Allies are very likely to get {{Tooltip|Immobilize}} at the same times they need {{Tooltip|Stability}}
| |
| − | * If allies are not in a {{Skill|Winds of Disenchantment}} and close by, prioritize resistance from '''Chapter 4 Stalwart Stand'''
| |
| − | * If allies are too far for '''Chapter 4 Stalwart Stand''' or in a {{Skill|Winds of Disenchantment}}, use {{Skill|Tome of Resolve}} and related skills
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====CC====
| |
| − | * Use your CC when:
| |
| − | ** Your group calls a spike:
| |
| − | *** Winds - {{Skill|Winds of Disenchantment}}
| |
| − | *** Wells - {{Skill|Well of Corruption}}+{{Skill|Well of Suffering}}
| |
| − | *** Shades - {{Skill|Desert Shroud}}
| |
| − | *** Traps - {{Skill|Procession of Blades}}+{{Skill|Test of Faith}}
| |
| − | ** On top of enemy downs (while alive players are on top of them)
| |
| − | ** Enemy groups moving defensively while your group is pushing
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Heal allied players====
| |
| − | * Be careful when healing others, {{Skill|Empower}} and {{Trait|Selfless Daring}} are powerful heals but can easily leave you out of position if misused
| |
| − | * Give yourself quickness with {{Skill|Mantra of Solace}} before casting {{Skill|Empower}}
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Apply primary boons to allied players====
| |
| − | * Defensive boons like {{Tooltip|Protection}} or {{Tooltip|Aegis}} should be prioritized when your group is on the defensive
| |
| − | * Offensive boons like {{Tooltip|Might}} and {{Tooltip|Quickness}} should be prioritized when your group is on the offensive
| |
| − | ** Especially as your group spikes, try to always use a charge of {{Skill|Mantra of Solace}}
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Apply cover boons to allied players====
| |
| − | * Cover boons are low value boons applied to soak strips instead of critical boons like {{Tooltip|Stability}}
| |
| − | * While most boon rips randomly choose from the boons on a target, boon corrupts always work on a first in, last out priority.
| |
| − | ** This means that cover boons should be applied ''after'' primary boons when possible
