Rotation & Extras

Key Concepts

Dealing Damage

Some useful things to know about your Scepter / Torch set:

Some useful things to know about your Pistol set:

Remember to Weapon Swap to access more of them so that you can avoid having to Auto Attack.

Try to use 沙暴帷幕 图标沙暴帷幕 whenever available to maintain Protection, Alacrity and 灵魂倒钩 图标灵魂倒钩.

Use 鬼灵缚爪 图标鬼灵缚爪 to Pull together enemies and then burst them down with your AoE skills.

瘟疫化身 图标瘟疫化身 provides a lot of Damage assuming you can use it on a stationary target. Don't waste it on an enemy that moves a lot.

Despite not being listed on the tooltip, using any Shade Skill deals a strike around yourself and any manifested Shade. This strike applies Torment and 破势爆弹 图标破势爆弹 and 德姆火焰 图标德姆火焰.

Defense

Use your Range and Mobile Casting to avoid hard hitting attacks.

When fighting multiple enemies, spread your conditions equally across the group rather than focusing on a single target to gain the most benefit from 寄生蔓延 图标寄生蔓延.

All Shade Skills can be cast while moving without the need to face a target, and with the exception of 显形沙影 图标显形沙影 also while casting other skills.

Remember that you have three sources of Alacrity, Barrier, Condition Removal and Might:

All these interactions are caused by 沙砾碾磨 图标沙砾碾磨 and 沙漠强化 图标沙漠强化.
