Traits & Skills
Traits
Skills
While 
召唤影魔 is the default choice of last utility slot, for the majority of encounters you should be picking any other utility skill you can make use of. See our Condition Scourge page for more information.
With some Ritualist gear, you can provide Alacrity and Barrier to your subgroup by swapping to 
悲伤预告 and 
沙漠强化. Check out the Condition Alacrity Scourge guide for more information.
Rotation & Extras
Step One
First we establish the core loop, which generates the majority of your Life Force and accounts for half your damage. It goes as follows:
The Filler are skills introduced in step 3 or Auto Attacks for now. Never delay anything in the core loop to cast a filler skill.
While maintaining the rhythm of this loop, always keep at least 1 Shade up using 
显形沙影. Outside doing some damage, this will give you bonus stats from 
黄沙贤者.
Step Two
Here we start to utilize our hard earned Life Force. Use 
邪恶恩惠 and 
沙漠之幕 off Cooldown. Both are instant cast and can be used at any time, even while casting other skills. 沙漠之幕 counts as "entering and exiting shroud" for the purposes of traits and effects, such as 
灵魂倒钩.
For this step, if you do not have a 
翠玉机器人核心：10级 or are wearing Exotic gear you might run out of Life Force while practicing. Swap 
德姆火焰 for 
无尽生命 to get effectively infinite Life Force, but at a big damage loss. The next step introduces more Life Force generation, so swap back to 德姆火焰 before proceeding.
Step Three
This step introduces the filler skills of Torch: 
痛苦浪潮 and 
重压崩溃. Though both deal great damage or provide other utility, 痛苦浪潮 also comes with the added benefit of 5% Life Force, so you should never run out at this point. Use both off Cooldown, however make sure to not delay any of the skills from the previous two steps.
Step Four
Finally, add in utility skills. Just like with the previous step, these are filler skills and should not interfere with the core loop.
- The elite,
瘟疫化身, simply deals a lot of damage. Use it off Cooldown, but make sure the enemy doesn't move out of the area. 
鲜血力量 is a damage dealing utility with two charges. Aim to use it inside 沙漠之幕. More on this in the note below.- If you are using 召唤影魔 for your last utility, its active skill
鬼影降临 provides 10% Life Force and deals minor Strike Damage.
Both 鲜血力量 and 瘟疫化身 are Corruptions, meaning that you apply conditions to yourself as you cast them. Utilizing the trait 
传播瘟疫 transfers these conditions to an enemy, which is why you aim to cast 鲜血力量 in the 6 seconds following 沙漠之幕. The Cooldowns of these two skills do not line up however, and in longer fights 沙漠之幕 will become available without having a charge of 鲜血力量. Do not delay 沙漠之幕 though, as just casting it off Cooldown will result in more damage!
Transitioning to the Full Build
The only thing left to learn is the opener, which can be found on the Condition Scourge page. The utility skills in the benchmark video may be slightly different, but this is to optimize golem damage. The bonus Life Force of 
不死纹章 makes the rotation more forgiving in real encounters and it comes with the ability to Revive a Downed ally. The same goes for 
沙尘闪耀: the group Barrier and boon corruption is more valuable than the minute damage increase of 
吸血纹章. These should stay our default choices.
