Rotation & Extras
Step One: Procession of Blades, Spear of Justice, and Whirling Wrath
Power Dragonhunter is a bursty DPS build that relies on stacking several buffs and skills together to maximize damage during its burst windows. If you understand how the build works and correctly prioritize your skills during a burst phase, you will be rewarded with satisfying DPS numbers!
The Radiance variant rewards you for actively blocking enemy attacks by reducing the Cooldown of through 
防御信条.
Big Damage Buffs
Prioritize using the following two skills off Cooldown:
利刃狂舞:
- Deals high damage and triggers
猎龙者古物. - Each tick of this skill will refresh the duration of 猎龙者古物, so the actual burst window for this buff works out to be about 7.5 seconds.
- Your traps grant you Aegis thanks to
猎人感应. In real fights, successfully blocking an attack in any way will trigger 防御信条, reducing the Cooldown of .
:
- Significantly bolsters overall damage by triggering
巨兽猎杀. - When is active, the skill icon will flip into
猎人裁决. Do not use this skill, as it will end early, resulting in a DPS loss. You will know that the effects of (and thus 巨兽猎杀) have ended when this skill flips back into and shows that it is on Cooldown. - It will also ensure your target is Burning to upkeep
光耀力量 and 
炽热之怒.
If both skills are off Cooldown, use 利刃狂舞 first. Because there is a delay before the trap starts dealing damage, using 利刃狂舞 first will guarantee more damage during your 's burst window.
Casting both 利刃狂舞 and together at the start of a burst will stack these buffs and create a ~7.5-second window for big damage. After the initial casts, the two skills will drift apart in your rotation, but make sure you are still casting them off Cooldown. Only delay casting these skills to align them for a guaranteed burst opportunity, but don't delay them for too long!
On Greatsword, cast 
愤怒回旋 off Cooldown.
- Pay special attention to learn its cast time; even once the cast bar finishes, 愤怒回旋 continues to damage during its aftercast, and this can be easily interrupted.
- 愤怒回旋's projectiles move in random directions; be inside the target's hitbox to ensure they all hit. Any projectile you see fly away is damage lost.
This skill will be one of your biggest damage sources, so get make sure you get comfortable with the timing before moving onto the next step.
Step Two: Weapon Skills and Weapon Swap
For this step, add in Weapon Swap and a simple combo of skills on both Greatsword and Spear. The loop for each weapon set is "wrapped" by their respective skill combos; that is, the Cooldown of those combos will dictate the timing for your Weapon Swap.
Greatsword
Symbols hit multiple times and trigger 
复仇符印 for a nice consistent damage increase. Specifically, 
决心符印 will help you maintain Resolution uptime for 
正义惩戒 and 
正义本能.
Greatsword Loop:
Spear
Meeting certain criteria on Spear skills 2 3 4 5 will cause your next Spear skill 2 3 4 5 to be Illuminated. Using an Illuminated skill consumes the Illuminated buff and grants a bonus effect, usually in the form of more damage.
Spear Loop:
For optimal damage, hover over a UI element (e.g. skill bar) with your cursor while casting 
日光奔袭 so the movement portion of the skill keeps you in place.
Remeber to keep prioritizing 利刃狂舞 and when available and do not cancel the aftercast of 愤怒回旋. This is your last reminder.
Step Three: Additional Weapon Skills
For this next step, we will add in additional skills from each weapon, but they won’t line up as nicely as in the last step. The key takeaway from this step is to learn to pay attention to your buffs in order to maximize damage output from these new weapon skills.
Whereas the previous step listed a set skill order, this step introduces skill priorities.
Greatsword
Additional skill priorities:
Updated Greatsword Loop:
Spear
Additional skill priorities:
-
光照符印
- Illuminated
太阳风暴 while 猎龙者古物 and 巨兽猎杀 are active - 日光奔袭, but save one Charge for comboing at the end of the loop
For simplicity, you can pair 光照符印 and 太阳风暴 together as they can both only be cast once per loop. The order does not matter as long as 太阳风暴 is Illuminated.
Note that if 日光奔袭 is at one Charge, it has the lowest priority; use other skills first if possible.
Updated Spear Loop:
Step Four: A Solid Opener
For all Power builds, mastering an opener will help your damage skyrocket as you will use it multiple times in nearly every fight. This is due to many encounters having phases that interrupt your rotation for long enough for your key skills to be off Cooldown.
To begin with, use this simplified opener, starting on Spear:
Note that 光照符印 will not be off Cooldown the next time you Weapon Swap to Spear, but still follow the same priority listed in the previous step once 光照符印 becomes available.
Step Five: Traps and Sword of Justice
Lastly, we will fill the time between prioritized skills with Traps and 
正义之剑.
Traps
Use 
巨龙之咽 and 
净化陷阱 to maintain 猎龙者古物. Since most of your skill usage will be centered around Weapon Swaps, using a Trap skill before each Weapon Swap ensures you get the damage buff for the last skill combo in your current weapon set and the first skill combo in your new weapon set.
Greatsword Loop:
Spear Loop:
利刃狂舞 should still be used off Cooldown, but it will occasionally align with a Weapon Swap, in which case you are good to go! If it will not, then use one of your other two Traps. A priority list is:
Whichever Traps you use, make sure to spread them out as 猎龙者古物 will not stack duration. Any overlaps in activations will be damage lost.
Like with certain skills listed in Step 3, we will want to maximize the damage of 正义之剑 by casting it while 猎龙者古物 and 巨兽猎杀 are active.
Similar to 利刃狂舞, 正义之剑 has a delay before it starts dealing damage, so make sure you use it sooner rather than later to get as many hits as possible under your big damage buffs.
正义之剑 has multiple Charges and a relatively short Recharge time, so it will almost always be available. It will add a decent chunk of damage over the course of the fight, so don't hold back!
You can even use it in the simplified opener above.
Reminder: Your traps grant you Aegis thanks to 猎人感应. In real fights, successfully blocking an attack in any way will trigger 防御信条, reducing the Cooldown of . This means that after using a trap, you can purposefully stand in an attack for your to be available sooner. However, not all attacks can be blocked, so use this judiciously.
Transitioning to the Full Build
If you made it this far, you are ready to head off to the full Power Dragonhunter (Radiance - Spear / Greatsword) build for a complete overview of the build and rotation.
Be aggressive and use skills off Cooldown, but also think about how to maximize damage during your burst windows. Skills should only be held if aligning them will provide a strong burst during a damage window. Getting the hang of this will take lots of practice and experience in real fights, so don't give up! You got this!
