Merging

Stay merged at all times with your pets. Always start the fight merged with Sky-Chak Striker and use to swap between your two merged pets.

Start on Spear to look for early Damage with a Ranged Spike on the first clash while staying safe.

On the Well of Corruption Spike, gap close and instantly swap to your Maces to follow up. Your goal will be to reset all your active Cooldowns by reaching five stacks of Nature's Strength to trigger Force of Nature as fast as possible.

All your skills can be used as fillers while waiting for your Mace skills to come back off Cooldown or for the next Well of Corruption Spike.

Once you are done completing your Mace rotation, you can swap back to Spear and keep dealing sustained Damage.

Use for and as they are both Unblockable and our best bet for Damage.

and can safely be used without being empowered anytime you are in Range.

Consider playing safer when on Cooldown and try making good use of it on important timings.

provides consistent Healing and passive Condition Removal to help us survive after heavy pressure.
