Detailed Explanations

Wells

• Save your 腐化法池 for the commanders call
  • If you aren't using voice communication, use your wells at the same time as the other Necromancers in your group
• When using pulsing ground AoEs like 腐化法池, try to place them so that one edge is on the enemy group and the other edge is in the direction they are moving to

Boon Strip

Boon Strip Skill List

• 腐化法池
• 夜幕降临
• 恐怖吐息
• 沙尘闪耀
• 致命干燥
• 沙暴帷幕

• As with wells, use 恐怖吐息 and 夜幕降临 on your commanders call

  • If you commander isn't calling them instead use them when the enemy group is pushing towards you or your group is in melee

• 沙尘闪耀 only removes boons in 240 radius, don't prioritize it over other skills and make sure your group is in melee if you're using it offensively

• Use 致命干燥 frequently for the 威能 and 激怒 it applies to allies, but be within 300 range of enemies when casting if possible to also strip boons

Heal/Cleanse Support

Healing Skill List

• All Marks via 鲜血输送
  • 凛冬印记 - More Healing than other Marks
  • Dodge activates 闪避印记

Condition Clear Skill List

• 邪恶恩惠

• 腐烂印记 - 鲜血输送

• 威力法池

• All 屏障 via 沙砾碾磨

• You should stay in Staff until 夜幕降临 or 黑暗抓攫 are needed

• All your Mark skills on Staff heal and give additional effects via 鲜血输送

  • Hit enemies with them when possible, but prioritize allies
  • Use 鲜血印记 as often as possible for healing
  • 凛冬印记 is also for healing, but with a bigger heal and longer CD, so save it for when more healing is needed
  • 腐烂印记 should be saved for condition clear
  • Save 夺魂印记 for 稳固 when it can't be covered by the main stability provider in your group
    • If possible hit enemies with 夺魂印记 in particular, since the 恐惧 is a useful CC

• Your Shade skills proc on both your character's position and any 显形沙影 you have on the ground, always use 显形沙影 at least once before casting any Shade skill

• Focus on hitting your own group with 显形沙影, but hit enemies as well if they're close enough

• When possible, precast extra 显形沙影 before using 沙暴帷幕

• Save your final charge of 显形沙影 when there is 15 seconds or less left on 沙暴帷幕's cooldown

• Use 沙尘闪耀 and 黄沙瀑布 as often as possible on pushes and during extended engages

• Barrier lasts 5 seconds after application before decaying

• 威力法池 is your most powerful condition clear skill use it any time your group is trading hits with the enemy in close range

  • If you find it difficult to survive when using for condition clear, swap for

• Dodge whenever you have downtime and your Endurance would cap out to proc and

CC

CC Skill List

• 黑暗抓攫 - 拽起

• 炫耀之柱 - 恐惧

• 夺魂印记 - 恐惧

• Use 黑暗抓攫 when:

  • Your group calls a spike such as Wells
  • Your group is range spiking the enemy
  • Enemy groups move defensively while your group is pushing

• Do not use 黑暗抓攫 when:

  • Your group is pushing and the enemy group is pushing
  • Your group is moving away from the enemy
  • It would pull the enemy group out of your groups spike (except for range spikes)

• You can use a Stow Weapon keybind halfway through the cast of 黑暗抓攫 and the pull will finish casting while you can immediately start casting other skills

• It is sometimes worth casting one 显形沙影 on the enemy group to land 炫耀之柱 when your group is spiking, but generally save it for when both groups are clashing and you're already hitting allies and enemies with your Shade skills

• 夺魂印记 should be saved to hit allies, but hit enemies as well when possible
