Harbinger - Quickness Support Power DPS

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.

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).

Food:

• or ascended versions

Utility:

Dagger/Sword Rotation

If possible, precast just before the fight starts. You could also precast if the encounter doesn't have a boon strip at the start.

Opener

1. - this triggers on each pulse, making the buff last for 12 seconds
6. Weapon Swap
7. - almost everything can cancel this skill, so make sure it actually hits

Harbinger Shroud

Fill the time between key skills with . You want to use once during this section, but the positioning is flexible (see notes below). You want to ensure you stay in shroud for at least 12 seconds so that you get five pulses of .

2. when almost at 25 Blight
4. when almost at 25 Blight
5. when almost at 25 Blight

You should aim to use 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 ( and consume 5 stacks each)
• Get two uses of in without delaying your shroud exit
• triggers , so make sure to use it before the buff runs out

Dagger-to-Greatsword

3. (if available)

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 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 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.
