Key Concepts

Power Ritualist is the new addition to the spec roster on Necromancer. It uses the new 祭祀帷幕 图标祭祀帷幕 for damage and sustain.

It keeps 鲜血输送 图标鲜血输送 to increase its sustain even more and possibly Healing allies.

Damage

As mentionned previously most of your damage comes spirits. Spirits all come from the new ritualist shroud. Using them together results in a really good burst.

苦痛灵魂 图标苦痛灵魂 is the best source of damage. It applies Vulnerability and increases the damage of your spirits. Using it will give you access to 支配苦痛 图标支配苦痛 which you should just spam as soon as you can for Might.

流浪灵魂 图标流浪灵魂 will be the one bringing Knockdown while still dealing decent damage. It will also bring Vulnerability on top of Slow, Weakness and Chilled. It gives you access to 支配流浪 图标支配流浪 which you should use after the Knockdown of 流浪灵魂 图标流浪灵魂. You should always use this spirit first as it will reset cooldown.

庇护灵魂 图标庇护灵魂 will mostly Heal and gives defensive boons but as you only go in shroud for spirit it can be used after the 2 others while bursting to keep yourself from being heavily pressured. It will give you access to 支配庇护 图标支配庇护 for even more defensive boons.

You should use 灵魂召集 图标灵魂召集 after all of those to chase your target and finish the kill as it will make all of your spirits do their damage again.

Spear is another source of pressure. Dealing damage while using it will also heal you thanks to its core mechanic soul shards. You should use it to do a simple combo.

  1. 与世隔绝 图标与世隔绝悲痛欲绝 图标悲痛欲绝
  2. 腐坏纷争 图标腐坏纷争
  3. 千疮百孔 图标千疮百孔

You can also use 斩草除根 图标斩草除根 after 与世隔绝 图标与世隔绝 for a slower but higher burst, it will make you lose any element of surprise because of 斩草除根 图标斩草除根 cast time.

It is worth noting that 悲痛欲绝 图标悲痛欲绝 will reset the cooldown of 千疮百孔 图标千疮百孔.

Defense

Staff is your main source of active sustain. While kiting you will be wanting to actively hit both yourself and your opponent with each skill.

鲜血印记 图标鲜血印记 is best used off cd.

凛冬印记 图标凛冬印记 with 腐烂印记 图标腐烂印记 into power damage dealers such as Willbender or Holosmith but hold 腐烂印记 图标腐烂印记 if enemy team is condi heavy.

鬼灵铠甲 图标鬼灵铠甲 is the first Stun Break you want to use as it will help you generate life force. If it isn't available use 守护之器 图标守护之器 instead. It will provide you and nearby allies with Blocks.

Use 欣雷之器 图标欣雷之器 when expecting a burst or as a last resort Stun Break.

黑暗法池 图标黑暗法池 should be used on node to use the pulsing Blind and Chilled.

Lastly 症状吞噬 图标症状吞噬 will cleanse all of your conditions and provide a massive self heal based on how many got cleansed.
