Rotation & Extras

Cast and Cantrips to gain ; cast this skill to grant Quickness, Might, and Fury.

We use the shorthand " combo" when the combo sequence starts with a , and " combo" when the sequence starts with a . Both of these skills will be followed by .

It is strongly advised that you disable Auto Cast on Spear skill 1, by holding CTRL and Right Clicking the skill. If that setting remains enabled, then any skill can interrupt your Stealth Attack. If you want to queue into your next skill while the Stealth Attack is channeling, then Auto Cast must be disabled!

Opening

  3. Combo (+ during this combo if still available)
  4. Combo
  5. Combo
  6. (+ near the end of this cast)
  8. Repeat Steps 3-7

Rotation Concept

  • Spear skills 2 and 3 are each a sequence of 3 skills: Lead Attack Follow Up Finisher. Using a skill from either sequence will progress both sequences.

  • After using a Finisher:

    • grants a damage modifier
    • grants 4 Initiative (on the final, delayed strike)

Continue using your Spear combos: .

Do a combo after a Finisher to refresh its damage modifier around every 10 seconds, or around every 4th FInisher. This replaces your usual Lead Attack.

To maintain Initiative, use every 2 combos (every other Finisher).

Use off Cooldown throughout your Rotation to generate .

When you do not have a Charge of available, use directly for Stealth instead.

Activate at the end of a DPS phase.

When comes off Cooldown, reset the loop:

  1. ... Finisher
  2. Stealth
Rotation Notes
  • Spend each Charge of before using /Cantrips to generate a new Charge.
  • You can cast to situationally generate a Charge of when needed.
  • You can use as a Lead Attack more often when feeling unsure about tracking its uptime, for a minimal (less than 1%) damage loss.
