Overview
Like Daredevil before it, DPS Vindicator turns its dodge into a powerful strike that buffs its damage but unlike Daredevil, it only needs its endurance to not be full, so it is able to keep a dodge in hand for defence. Greatsword also brings with it 
帝国守卫, which makes Vindicator a durable fighter.
Vindicator can bring 
传奇矮人姿态 and/or a Staff to dramatically increase the utility it brings to a group, but the DPS loss is fairly significant.
Skill Bar
Variants
- Legendary Dwarf Stance can be used instead of Legendary Alliance Stance, offering utility at a DPS loss.
- You can also opt to camp Greatsword. This is a moderate DPS loss, but allows you to bring a utility weapon like Staff in your other set.

Rotation Fundamentals
As a revenant, Vindicator wants to constantly swap between two legends to regain the energy needed for their skills.
Vindicator also wants to regularly dodge to maintain two powerful buffs:
海兽之力 gives you a damage buff whenever your endurance is not full.
死亡前兆 gives you a damage buff for 10 seconds after dodging, as well as making your dodge deal damage.
To make best use out of these buffs, you want to make sure to dodge before reaching full endurance, and at least every 10 seconds. With 
林木之曲, you refill enough endurance for a dodge every ~5.7s (assuming permanent 活力), so you will be dodging a lot!
Be aware that this creates small windows where you don't have enough endurance to dodge attacks. With experience, you can learn to time your dodges around incoming mechanics, but each weapon set also has some active defence that you can use instead:
Simplified Rotation
The rotation can be greatly simplified from the one below by camping Sword/Sword (or Greatsword). This setup also allows you to bring a Staff in your other set to give access to the potent 
迷雾激流 - one of the best CC skills in the game. Alternatively, you could bring Hammer to have a ranged option.
- On
传奇刺客姿态, you want to activate 
压倒优势 as soon as you swap to it, and leave it running.
- Legend Swap as soon as its available.
- On
传奇同盟, use 
阿契摩洛斯之矛 as soon as you swap to it.
- If using Sword/Sword, use the following skills off cooldown:
- If using Greatsword, use the following skills off cooldown:
- Use
能量结合 off cooldown, and make sure to Dodge Dodge within six seconds. - Dodge Dodge to maintain 死亡前兆 and stop your endurance becoming full.

General tips
- You may wish to dodge twice at the start of the rotation to give yourself more breathing room to avoid reaching full endurance. This will leave you without any ability to dodge for defence though.
- In extreme cases, you can use
同盟战术 to access the second Alliance legend and provide support to your group.
Crowd Control
Accessing CC can be difficult on revenants as CC skills cost energy that you should have been spending on damage instead. Nevertheless, each legend has one skill:
- On 传奇刺客姿态,
翠玉风暴 - this is a very expensive skill and you will usually need to plan ahead if you want the energy to use it. - On 传奇同盟,
掠夺之怒. - On 传奇矮人姿态,
强制束缚.
Staff
On the Greatsword only rotation, you can use Staff as your second weapon set. This doesn't provide any damage, but gives you access to 迷雾激流, which is one of the best CC skills in the game. In general, the DPS loss isn't worth swapping to Staff in the middle of a fight but there are some cases where this is mitigated:
- Many fractal bosses start with an open defiance bar, so you can start on Staff then immediately swap to Greatsword after using 迷雾激流 and continue your rotation as normal.
- The same logic applies to bosses that end a phase with a defiance bar, such as Keep Construct or Amala.
- Some bosses will be invulnerable while their breakbars are active. If you pre-emptively swap to Staff after your big DPS skills, you can minimise the DPS downtime.
- Raid examples: Slothasor, Samarog, Sabir.
- It will always be worth sacrificing damage if it would prevent a wipe.
- It will almost always be worth sacrificing damage if it would save another player's life.
