Willbender - Power DPS

A Power DPS build for Willbender.

When running Virtues, Willbender has the advantage that it can more easily maintain 圣盾 than Dragonhunter and core Guardian thanks to 英勇冲撞, which can be used to ensure uptime during burst phases where it might otherwise be lost.

Weapon Variants

• Sword/Focus is the best option for players that don't own Janthir Wilds
  • Offhand Sword deals slightly less damage than Focus, but could be useful for the extra mobility from 突进猛击.
  • Players that own Secrets of the Obscure can run Longbow instead of Sword/Focus, this is a small DPS loss but has better ranged potential.

Skill Variants

闪现连击 is not only a decent damage skill, but it allows for frequent triggers of 佩萨古物 on the Sword build.

• You could run "前进！" instead of 正义之剑 for 圣盾 uptime.
  • Be aware that this result in fewer triggers of 美德恢复, which slows down your rotation and may end up being less damage overall.
• Bring 如来神掌 if you need CC.

Spear Rotation

Spear's unique mechanic is the Illuminated effect. When under the Illuminated effect, skills 2-4 have enhanced effects:

• 日光奔袭 gains increased healing and applies 决心 to allies you pass through, as well as dealing more damage and applying 虚弱 to enemies.
• 闪耀圆转 deals more damage, applies Blindness to enemies, and grants 威能 and 激怒 to allies.
• 太阳风暴 hits two additional times and heals allies that it removes conditions from.

In addition, each of these skills itself applies the Illuminated effect for five seconds. Finally, while 光照符印 gains no extra benefit from Illuminated, it causes all skills to be Illuminated for as long as the symbol is active, regardless of where it is in relation to you.

Given that all your main skills on spear apply Illuminated, practically speaking all you need to ensure is that you use at least one of your 2-4 skills every five seconds when 光照符印 is not active. The easiest way to maintain it is via 日光奔袭 as it an ammunition skill with low cooldown.

The most important skill to Illuminate is 太阳风暴.

Opener

It helps a huge amount to precast a charge of 流动决心 to gain extra triggers of 美德恢复. If you do not do this you may find yourself needing to perform an extra autoattack or two while waiting for cooldowns.

Spear Loop

1. - this is a targeted movement skill. If you hover your cursor over your UI, you will charge in place and minimise the animation time
2. - we want to use this twice each loop, but its long cooldown means you always want to use it as your second skill to avoid delaying your weapon swap

Greatsword Loop

8. Virtue
10. ⇒ ⇒
13. Weapon Swap

• Use and off cooldown. They take priority over all Greatsword skills except , but the first four skills of the Spear section should not be delayed.
• Where it lists Virtue in the rotation above, use whichever virtue is available, with the priority

Longbow Rotation

Sword Radiance Rotation

General Tips

1. Use extra charges of to fill in gaps where you don't have time for a full auto chain - make sure not to let it reach three stacks!
2. Use off cooldown, and fill in gaps in Virtue uptime with the other two.
