Virtuoso - Power DPS

Weapon Variants

• Dagger/Sword can replace Spear for players that don't own Janthir Wilds. This also makes the build fully ranged, which could have niche use.
  • Offhand Sword can be replaced with a Focus for access to the powerful 凡尘帷幔. However this is a significant DPS loss, so should only be done as a last resort.

Skill Variants

苦痛咒语 or 剑刃暴雨 may be swapped out for other utilities as desired.

• 毁灭利刃 offers similar DPS but adds some extra CC.

Trait Variants

• Use 强能幻象 if not running Greatsword.

Greatsword/Spear rotation

The most important skill to understand on Spear is 间隙危机. This skill is a spin attack that deals extra damage to enemies that are on the outer edge of its radius. This radius roughly corresponds to maximum melee range, so you can reliably hit with it, but you may need to stand further back than usual and annoy some boon supports.

Hitting your target with 间隙危机 applies a buff called Clarity. Your next use of one of your Spear skills 2-5 will consume the buff and gain an enhanced effect:

• 间隙危机 grants you 威能
• 虚拟反转 heals for more
• 幻影长矛 summons an extra phantasm
• 精神崩塌 stuns your target

Of these, the only one that increases your damage is 幻影长矛, so this will be the skill we want to enhance.

Opener

Begin on Spear, and try to start with five blades stocked and 苦痛咒语 charged.

1. 幻影除魔
2. 旋刃魂曲
3. 虚拟反转 (optional)
4. 间隙危机 - applies Clarity
5. 强力钉刺
6. 幻影长矛 - consumes Clarity to summon an extra phantasm
7. 千刀万剐
8. 精神崩塌
9. 间隙危机
10. Weapon Swap

Each Greatsword Loop is opened and closed with 幻影狂战 and 镜像飞刃, using other skills off cooldown in between. If you want to save 不谐咏刃 for CC, then delay 悲伤咏刃 until just before 心灵穿刺 at step 13

1. 幻影狂战
2. 幻光纹章
3. 幻影狂战
9. until Mirror Blade is nearly off cooldown
12. until Mind Stab is off cooldown

Impact Variant

If you want to run this build on encounters where the boss can be stunned, you may benefit more from running a instead of the . To make up for the lost crit chance, make the following gear changes:

• Switch the amulet, one ring, one accessory and the backpiece to Assassin stats.
