Willbender - Condi DPS

Weapon Variants

• You can run a mainhand Scepter in the Torch set, alongside a 战士古物. This is slightly worse damage, but the rotation is more structured, which some players may prefer.
  • You can swap the weapons around to Scepter/Pistol & Pistol/Torch if you prefer the feel of the rotation. This is a little worse for damage, but there's not a big difference.
• For players that don't own Secrets of the Obscure, Sword & Scepter mainhands are the best option.
  • Greatsword can replace the sword set. The two options have practically identical DPS so you can choose based on preference or requirement.
  • Sword offers some group 激怒 and a teleport, Greatsword offers a leap and pulls.
  • You could replace the Scepter set with Greatsword if you want both Sword and Greatsword, but it would be a DPS loss.

Skill Variants

• Bring 如来神掌 if you need CC.

Beginner Rotation

The easiest way to play Condi Willbender is to camp the Pistol/Torch set. This should give you an idea of how Willbender feels to play before moving on to the full rotation.

You will want to use with this rotation.

Opener

You can precast and to start with stacks of , but skip this if you think you will need them for defence.

4. and during the cast to start the cooldown
5. ⇒ ⇒

For the rest of rotation, use the skills you used in the opener on cooldown, with being the highest priority, followed by and .

Once you feel comfortable with this build, you can add an offhand Pistol and follow this rotation. The full build is only a small damage increase, so you can go with whichever playstyle you prefer.

Pistol Rotations

• Your autoattacks are very weak, but (and possibly ) allows us to limit the time we need to spend using them.
• triggers multiple whirl finishers, so try to cast it after (which provides a fire field), at a time where there are none of your light fields.
• Where it lists Virtue in the rotation below, use either or ( is the higher priority if it is at two charges) for extra damage from virtue triggers. If you wish to keep these for utility, just ignore these steps and replace with autoattacks if necessary.
  • While the use of additional virtues has been worded as optional, if you get fast enough at the rotation you will find that you need to be using them as detailed in the rotation for skills to be off cooldown at the right time.
• The structure of both versions is very similar.
• Autoattacks are not listed.

Fractal Relic Rotation

Food

• 盘装牛肉仁当 (or ascended versions)

Utility

• 剧毒调谐水晶

• For a more structured, but slightly lower damage rotation. You can use a 战士古物 alongside a Scepter with a 超级渴求法印 in the Torch set.
• If not using using Pistol, 超级大地法印 should replace 超级空气法印 to provide reliable triggers of 碎层古物.
• The value of 超级空气法印 relies on stacking virtues in order to get multiple virtue triggers from a single hit. If you want to hold on to 流动决心 and 英勇冲撞 for utility, then a 超级大地法印 will perform slightly better. A 超级地能法印 could also work, though you need to be in melee when it triggers.

Opener

You can precast 流动决心 and 英勇冲撞 to start with stacks of 致命节奏, but skip this if you think you will need them for defence. Start on Sword.

1. 急速正义
2. Active 狂徒烈焰, but don't throw 狂徒火焰 yet
3. 净化火焰
4. 利刃符印 - be careful not to interrupt the cast of 净化火焰!
5. Weapon Swap
6. 旋风之光
7. 惩戒符印
8. 狂徒火焰 x2
9. 净化烈焰
10. 愤怒宝珠 until 急速正义 is off cooldown
11. 急速正义
12. 惩戒符印
13. 狂徒烈焰 → 狂徒火焰
14. 愤怒宝珠 and 狂徒烈焰 → 狂徒火焰 until Weapon Swap is available
15. Weapon Swap

After this, the rotation is mostly priority based, but there are a few ways to structure each section:

Sword Loop

The basic sword loop opens with:

1. 狂徒防御
2. 利刃符印
3. Follow priority list (below) until 狂徒防御 is available
4. 狂徒防御
5. Weapon Swap

Alternate Sword Loop

You can instead structure the sword loop as follows:

1. 利刃符印
2. 狂徒防御
3. Follow priority list until 利刃符印 is available
5. Follow priority list until is available
8. Weapon Swap

This loop is slightly lower damage in general, but if used for the first two loops it causes cooldowns to line up slightly better, resulting in slightly higher DPS. Just following the basic sword loop is completely fine though.

Scepter Loop

The scepter loop is very simple:

2. Follow priority list until Weapon Swap is available
3. Weapon Swap

Priority List

3. Skills specified in weapon loops above
4. - should be activated as soon as it is available as this starts the cooldown, you then have three seconds to throw so it can be delayed but don't miss the window
5. - This is a 4x whirl finisher, so it can be delayed up to ~three seconds if it will guarantee to combo with
6. , and - when not specified in the weapon loops above, it is important to use these skills but as long as they don't delay your Weapon Swaps it isn't too important when
7. - This is higher priority than autoattacks, but as it has a long cast time it is important not to have to delay more important skills too much, and the burning is only applied at the end of the skill
