Guide

Overview

Support Luminary is a support build focused on blocking and mitigating damage for your group, while still providing key boons like 稳固 图标稳固, 抗性 图标抗性, 圣盾 图标圣盾, 保护 图标保护, 威能 图标威能 and 激怒 图标激怒. The core mechanic is using Radiantcourage as frequently as possible. Thanks to Tenacious Defense, every attack blocked by 圣盾 图标圣盾 (applied by you) reduces its cooldown, letting you block more often. Illuminatinginspiration reduces the cooldown of every virtue skill when you equip a radiant weapon.

Key Boons

  • 稳固 图标稳固 Provided by Standyourground, Valorousstance, and Radiantcourage.
  • 圣盾 图标圣盾 Provided by Stalwartstance, Radiantcourage, Shieldofjudgment, Communaldefenses, and Valorousdefense.
  • 威能 图标威能 Provided by Empower, Radiantjustice, Dazzlinghammer
  • 保护 图标保护 Provided by Shieldofjudgment, Shimmeringstances, and Inspiredvirtue.
  • 激怒 图标激怒 Provided by Resplendentweaponry

How to Play

Preparation

  • Use Symbolofswiftness to give 迅捷 图标迅捷 to your group (avoid using it on the might stack).

Might Stacking

  • Holystrike
  • Dazzlinghammer
  • Empower

Pulls

  • Place Symbolofswiftness on enemies to strip 圣盾 图标圣盾.

Engage

  • Secure the push with 稳固 图标稳固 and cover boons.
  • Use Standyourground and Shieldofjudgment (stand in front of your group for maximum effect).
  • Symboloffaith
  • Radiantjustice

Forge rotation

  • Radiantresolve
  • Radiantcourage
  • Luminousstaff
  • Restorativeglow
  • Dazzlinghammer
  • Shiningspin
  • Radiantbulwark
  • Brilliantslam Use the radiant weapon skills to recharge the cooldowns of your F1 to F3 fast. Using the F1 to F3 skills before using the radiant weapons will also empower them. E.g. F2 will grant additional heal to Luminousstaff.

Advanced Tips

  • Use Shield 5 to knock back enemies reviving downs.
