Rotation & Extras

Key Concepts

You should be in 游侠觉醒 图标游侠觉醒 almost all the time to increase your Damage via 野性誓言 图标野性誓言.

Unleashed Ambush skills are the primary source of boons via 尽情释放 图标尽情释放. This is how to use it:

  • Every nine seconds, you will gain the effect 能量觉醒 图标能量觉醒
  • While affected by 能量觉醒 图标能量觉醒, use 游侠觉醒 图标游侠觉醒 to gain access to Ambush skills for four seconds
  • You also gain 能量觉醒 图标能量觉醒 when you Weapon Swap which lets you Ambush a second time.

The basics of your rotation will look like this:

  1. Gain the 能量觉醒 图标能量觉醒 buff
  2. 宠物觉醒 图标宠物觉醒游侠觉醒 图标游侠觉醒 → Ambush
  3. Weapon Swap → Ambush → Weapon Skills
  4. Repeat from step one

Weapon Swap and Pet Swap frequently to get boons:

Gain stacks of 努里斯古物 图标努里斯古物 every few seconds in combat. At 10 stacks, gain significant buffs to both offense and defense for five seconds.

Dealing Damage

Nature's Strength and what you need to know:

  • Every skill on Mace generates one stack. Use all your Mace skills to gain five stacks.
  • At five stacks, gain Force of Nature, refreshing all Mace skills.
  • When this happens, use all your Mace skills again.

On Axe, use skills with the following loose priority:

Use 伤痕轨迹 图标伤痕轨迹 to Pull enemies.

Always Swap Pets before your Pet dies to avoid a longer Cooldown.

Use your offensive Pet skills and "干掉他们!" 图标"干掉他们!" off Cooldown.

Use 剧毒爆发 图标剧毒爆发, 剥裂藤蔓 图标剥裂藤蔓 and 孢络尘雾 图标孢络尘雾 off Cooldown when you are in 宠物觉醒 图标宠物觉醒.

Strip boons on enemies using unleashed ambushes. This gives a stack of 努里斯古物 图标努里斯古物.
