Rotation & Extras

Key Concepts

Power Conduit excels at everything a damage dealer wants in Player vs Player (PvP). It is a menace wether it's on Hammer dealing Ranged Damage or using Sword and 释放潜力:刺客 图标释放潜力:刺客 for high burst.

Power Conduit survivability isn't to be underestimated aswell. 萨奇洛斯古物 图标萨奇洛斯古物 and 迷雾翻腾 图标迷雾翻腾 provide it with passive sustain.

Your highest burst combo comes a simple list of skills which allow you to start it from almost anywhere.

  1. Make sure to have 压倒优势 图标压倒优势 and 宇宙智慧 图标宇宙智慧 active.
  2. 位面穿行 图标位面穿行
  3. 释放潜力:刺客 图标释放潜力:刺客
  4. 冰冻隔离 图标冰冻隔离
  5. 无情突击 图标无情突击

Dealing Damage

Your best damage increase is 压倒优势 图标压倒优势 paired with 宇宙智慧 图标宇宙智慧. It will give passive damage to all of your hits. It can either be used on Hammer, using auto attack from range or to burst down an enemy with Sword and 释放潜力:刺客 图标释放潜力:刺客.

Focused on Ranged Damage, Hammer has everything you'd want.

  • 聚能崩灭 图标聚能崩灭, a simple but efficient linear AoE. It's incredible damage is balanced by its speed, being rather slow and easy to anticipate when used from afar.
  • 相位猛击 图标相位猛击 gives you an Evade during its entire cast, letting you use it in any situation, even to burst in the middle of a teamfight. Make sure never to use it when 压倒优势 图标压倒优势 and 宇宙智慧 图标宇宙智慧 are up as it would be a huge waste of damage or during 迷雾力场 图标迷雾力场.
  • 迷雾力场 图标迷雾力场 is a must use when using autoattacks from range to deal damage. It Blocks Projectiles for three seconds and Blinds on its hit.
  • 天降巨锤 图标天降巨锤, a slow cast and easy to dodge Knockdown, making it by far the hardest skill to use on Hammer but hitting it can turn around a fight.

Your other offensive weapon, Sword, is purely melee. Therefore it isn't as good as spear for the sake of using 压倒优势 图标压倒优势 but it has higher damage on its abilities.

  • 冰冻隔离 图标冰冻隔离 deals high AoE damage and has a damage increase if hitting only one target.
  • 无情突击 图标无情突击 has you Evade while dealing damage.

When in melee use 释放潜力:刺客 图标释放潜力:刺客 for extra burst and Immobilize.

传奇实体姿态 图标传奇实体姿态 brings AoE and Boon Removal.

  • 释放潜力:苦行僧 图标释放潜力:苦行僧 becomes a high damage Boon Removal AoE.
  • 欺骗烟雾 图标欺骗烟雾 will teleport you where you aim it, dealing heavy Unblockable Damage. Hitting this is mandatory as it will give you two other uses of the skill with no cooldown.
  • 双月横扫 图标双月横扫 is an expensive AoE which appears both where you aim it and around your character. Hitting both parts on the same target will apply Immobilize.

Avoid using 压倒优势 图标压倒优势 paired with 宇宙智慧 图标宇宙智慧 with slow Hammer skills or when having no weapon cooldowns ready on Sword.

Defense

Your Weapons have a variety of defensive skills:

  • Sword has access to 无情突击 图标无情突击 which Evades attacks.
  • Shield has access to 茂盛特使 图标茂盛特使 which heals, grants Protection and Aegis to allies. Additionally has access to 水晶休眠 图标水晶休眠 which blocks and pulses healing to nearby allies.

附魔匕首 图标附魔匕首 doesn't initially heal for much but by hitting enemies causes you to life siphon from them healing for much more.

传奇实体姿态 图标传奇实体姿态 provides a lot of useful skills which can be used in specific scenarios.

  • The heal is 护盾之手 图标护盾之手, which provides huge damage reduction during its cast time.
  • 角斗防御 图标角斗防御 is a useful, but expensive on energy, Stun Break.
  • 除魔旋涡 图标除魔旋涡 brings really good Condition Removal.

On 传奇刺客姿态 图标传奇刺客姿态, 暗影回撤 图标暗影回撤 gives you a Stun Break and Evade but at a high Energy cost.
