Detailed Explanations

Stability

  • Apply 稳固 图标稳固 before allies get caught by enemy CC
  • When using "坚守阵地!" 图标"坚守阵地!" cover the application by applying other boons immediately after the cast
  • Avoid overlapping multiple 稳固 图标稳固 sources on your party, both your own and other players
  • 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.
Stability priority

CC

Healing

  • Be careful when healing others, 能量引导 图标能量引导 is a powerful heal but can easily leave you out of position if misused
Healing priority

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.
