  2. 4
  3. Weapon Swap
  4. 5 + F1
  5. 2 2

You can obviously change the opener based on the encounter or your individual skill choices - just make sure you apply Quickness / Alacrity, Fury, and 25 Might as quickly as possible.

  • Granting Alacrity / Quickness via / .
  • Healing your allies and .
  • Granting boons via and .

Cast off Cooldown to grant Regeneration via and Swiftness via .
Rifle Usage

Rifle is your primary weapon, which you will use most of the time.

2 generates a clone, grants Regeneration, and heals allies for a small amount. Cast it as often as possible.

3 grants Fury and Might and you should therefore cast it regularly. It's sequence skill, , instead heals allies for a large amount, cleanses conditions, and blinds foes - cast it whenever you need to save your allies.

4 deals moderate Defiance Break, but you can freely use spare Charges to stun dangerous foes or to generate additional Alacrity / Quickness.

5 grants Barrier and Resistance to allies. You can reactivate it to open a portal from its location, but that will increase the Cooldown.
Shield Usage

Shield is part of your secondary weapon set, which you can swap to whenever necessary.

4 blocks incoming attacks and summons a Phantasm that grants Protection. If you blocked an attack, you can cast its sequence skill, , which has the same properties.

5 can stun foes twice to deal high Defiance Break. It's also useful for granting additional Might and Swiftness.
Shatter Usage

F1 is important for maintaining Might. Cast it off Cooldown.

F2 maintains Protection and Vigor. Cast it off Cooldown with three Clones.

F3 should be cast with as many Clones as possible to Daze foes.

F4 makes you (nearly) invulnerable for a short duration. You can also cast it to grant Aegis and Stability, if those boons are not available via your utility skills.

While F5 is active, all skills you cast will not be on Recharge when it ends. You should use it to double-up on boons, healing, defiance break, or any other skills you would like to cast twice in quick succession.
