Overview
Power Quickness Harbinger is an aggressive boon support that plays very similarly to the DPS build, with the exception that it spends a little longer in shroud in order to provide more boons. Compared to other boon supports, power Harbinger has difficulty swapping out its utility skills as they all contribute significant damage. This means it typically relies on its 
敏捷 partner to provide other key boons such as 
威能.
Unlike other necro specialisations, Harbinger's shroud does not act as a second health bar. This, in combination with its Blight mechanic, make it squishier than normal, but does come with the advantage that excess damage cannot eject you from shroud and ruin your rotation.
This build is somewhat dependent on 
折磨 uptime to get the maximum benefit from 
恶毒腐化. All shroud abilities generate a little, but if your group doesn't have other sources then some effectiveness will be lost.
Skill Bar
Weapon Variants
- For players that own Janthir Wilds, Spear can replace Dagger/Sword. It deals higher damage and brings a stronger heal, stronger boonrip, and high lifeforce generation. It does deal lower damage above 50% though, so is may be less effective in real encounters.
- As this rotation spends quite a long time in shroud, you may find that the extra lifeforce generation on Spear leads to better boon uptimes if you're dropping out of shroud early on Dagger/Sword.
- Sword can replace Dagger for more ranged damage, though shroud already provides a good amount.
Skill Variants
黑暗法池 can be swapped out if absolutely necessary:
- Any Elixir can be used to provide additional boons.
鬼灵缚爪 - AoE pull for easier cleaving.
腐蚀毒云 - destroys projectiles.
召唤血肉地虫 - 1200 range teleport. Can also bodyblock certain projectiles (e.g. Old Tom's poison whirl).

Equipment
Equipment Variants
- You want to aim for ~2005-2010 precision (with
超级精确法印). 
超级学者符文 would be a tiny DPS loss.
超级夜幕法印 or slaying sigils if you can benefit from the bonus (replacing 
超级武勇法印).- If you don't have stat infusions, use Assassin stats Assassin stats legs.
- The build gains sufficient boon duration from
扭曲药剂 to maintain 
急速, but it does rely on consistently getting five pulses of 
致命急速 each time in shroud. If you are struggling with this, you can take extra boon duration.
- Unfortunately, it's awkward to swap in Diviner stats Diviner stats gear as it changes your crit chance, so it might be more convenient to take food/utility such as
灵魂糕点 and/or 
强效透明油 instead.

You should aim to use 黑暗弹幕 off cooldown, opening and closing your shroud section with it. The other skills have some flexibility, with the following considerations:
- It is optimal to use skills at high Blight stacks
- Ensure you don't sit at 25 Blight (吞噬切割 and 贪食跃冲 consume 5 stacks each)
- Get two uses of 吞噬切割 in without delaying your shroud exit
- 致命抽取 triggers 烟花古物, so make sure to use it before the buff runs out

先驱帷幕
- Repeat Harbinger Shroud Rotation
The full loop cycles between Harbinger Shroud ⇒ Dagger-to-Greatsword ⇒ Harbinger Shroud ⇒ Greatsword-to-Dagger ⇒ Repeat.
Below 50% health, the rotation changes slightly (see below for details).
Rotation Explanation
Above 50% health, the rotation boils down to the following:
- Every time you swap to Greatsword (or exit shroud to it), use each available skill once.
- Every time you swap to Dagger/Sword (or exit shroud to it) use all available skills once, separating the sword abilities and their flip skill with another skill use.
- Use 勇气试剂 off cooldown.
Below 50% Health
When the boss is below 50% health, your rotation changes due to 掘墓剑斩 having no cooldown. As 吞噬面容 ⇒ 消食殆尽 deals lower damage than 掘墓剑斩, you omit these skills from your loop and do two or three extra 掘墓剑斩s while on Greatsword (how many depends on how fast you are).
- Skip the use of 承诺试剂 as well, though you can should use it whenever your Blight drops to 20 stacks or lower.
- Even though 吞噬面容 isn't used for damage below 50%, it triggers 烟花古物, so should be used if this buff drops.

- Repeat Harbinger Shroud Rotation
The full loop cycles between Harbinger Shroud ⇒ Spear-to-Greatsword ⇒ Harbinger Shroud ⇒ Greatsword-to-Spear ⇒ Repeat.
Below 50% health, the rotation changes very slightly (see below for details).
Rotation Explanation
Necromancer's Spear is one of the less complicated spears. Most of your weapons skills build up stacks of a powerful lifesteal buff called Soul Shards Soul Shards that caps at six stacks. 千疮百孔 consumes these stacks for a burst of damage and healing. 腐坏纷争 and 斩草除根 generate four and two stacks, respectively, so these are used for the first 千疮百孔. 悲痛欲绝 generates six stacks, and so it is used both to recharge, and power the second 千疮百孔. You may gain different numbers of stacks depending on the number of enemies nearby, but this doesn't change your rotation.
Above 50% health, the rotation boils down to the following:
- Every time you swap to Greatsword (or exit shroud to it), use each available skill once.
- Every time you swap to Spear (or exit shroud to it) use all available skills once, refreshing 千疮百孔 with the flip skill of 与世隔绝 and using it a second time.
Below 50% Health
When the boss is below 50% health, your rotation changes due to 掘墓剑斩 having no cooldown. All this means is that you replace the single 薄暮之击 with a 掘墓剑斩.
