Rotation & Extras

Key Concepts

Merge with your Pet by using 野兽形态 图标野兽形态. This will improve the following skills:

  • 致残射击 图标致残射击 causes you to inflict additional Bleeding
  • 双重弧光 图标双重弧光 causes you to inflict additional Poison
  • "同心治疗!" 图标"同心治疗!" will copy your boons to yourself thereby increasing their duration and doubling their stacks.

You gain an Attribute Bonus dependin gon your Pet's archetype. On Condition Damage builds, you want to merge with a Deadly archetype for the +150 Condition Damage and +100 Precision.

Inflict Bleeding by dealing Critical Hits. Attack from the sides or back, or against defiant foes to trigger 捕猎战术 图标捕猎战术 and Weapon Swap frequently to maintain Fury and Swiftness.

Your Short Bow skills are also improved when attacking from the sides or back, or against defiant foes:

Dealing Damage

灵巧作战 图标灵巧作战 enhances your Short Bow skills by reducing their Recharge and causing them to Pierce.

Dodging, 腾挪速射 图标腾挪速射 and 追猎之击 图标追猎之击 will grant you an additional 灵巧作战 图标灵巧作战 buff which increases your Damage and Condition Duration.

You can use 锋开磨砺 图标锋开磨砺, 致残射击 图标致残射击 and 双重弧光 图标双重弧光 before engaging to increase burst. After that, you should use 锋开磨砺 图标锋开磨砺 off Cooldown.

独狼之力 图标独狼之力 provides you with a solid DPS increase. As you are running 群体领袖 图标群体领袖, you should try to use it with allies around but don't wait too long.

Use your Short Bow skills off Cooldown with the following priority:

震荡射击 图标震荡射击 will trigger 狂暴双体 图标狂暴双体 which will help to increase your Damage.

Use your Dagger skills off Cooldown with the following priority:

直觉交战 图标直觉交战 has a few functions. It's a movement skill, it inflicts Slow and it gives you Quickness. That seems like the perfect cat and mouse skill.

Use 陆行鸟姿态 图标陆行鸟姿态 before using "同心治疗!" 图标"同心治疗!" and 秃鹰姿态 图标秃鹰姿态. This will extend the duration of any boons gained.
