Rotation & Extras

Key Concepts

Condition Conduit is a sturdy condition spec, focusing on Torment to pressure opponents. It also relies on its CCs applying Burning and 阿奇姆古物 图标阿奇姆古物.

It uses 传奇矮人姿态 图标传奇矮人姿态 for Stability and survivability, where 传奇恶魔姿态 图标传奇恶魔姿态 focus on damage and crowd control.

Damage

Conduit focuses on being melee to hit 唤醒折磨 图标唤醒折磨 which will apply Burning, Torment and Poison.

The rest of your damage comes from a mix of crowd control and simple abilities but note everything you do is AoE.

On Mace always use 灼热裂痕 图标灼热裂痕 before 回荡喷发 图标回荡喷发 to generate some Might.

On Spear we get access to a small AoE: 深渊毁灭 图标深渊毁灭. Every other skill we use on Spear will lower 深渊毁灭 图标深渊毁灭 cooldown.

  • 深渊原力 图标深渊原力 is a simple damage ability you can use off cooldown.
  • 深渊突袭 图标深渊突袭 will Evade in the direction you choose. It has some damage potential but should mostly be used defensively or for mobility.
  • 深渊霹雳 图标深渊霹雳 is by far your best skill. It does Pull, Poison, Chilled, Torment and Burning.

On 传奇恶魔姿态 图标传奇恶魔姿态 your best damage option is to use 苦痛召唤 图标苦痛召唤 to leap and Pull into its second part 破势猛击 图标破势猛击.

If you want to pressure from range you can use 驱逐附魔 图标驱逐附魔 as it will apply 6 stacks of Torment.

Lastly your elite 拥抱黑暗 图标拥抱黑暗 will pulse Torment around you at the cost of losing Energy every second.

As Conduit you also get a new F2 key : 释放潜力:幻术师 图标释放潜力:幻术师. It should be pressed after using a few weapon skills while in 传奇恶魔姿态 图标传奇恶魔姿态 to stack up affinity, which improves its effects.

Defense

A lot of Conduit defense comes from passives in your traitlines.

传奇恶魔姿态 图标传奇恶魔姿态 has access to a decent Stun Break: 吸收苦痛 图标吸收苦痛

Most of our active defense comes from 传奇矮人姿态 图标传奇矮人姿态 abilities. Its Stun Break is quite expensive but you won't need it often thanks to the Stability you get access to with 宇宙智慧 图标宇宙智慧 and 稳固激发 图标稳固激发.

Keeping up 复仇之锤 图标复仇之锤 is also incredibly good for the damage reduction it offers.

While in dwarf you also get 释放潜力:战士 图标释放潜力:战士 which gives you decent mobility and potential Barrier.
