Rotation & Extras

Pets

Merge with any pet that is of the Stout archetype.

The best choices would be Black Bear or Blue Moa. The Stout archetype is important to gain access to 无畏坚韧 图标无畏坚韧.

When using 永恒联结 图标永恒联结, you can swap between your two equipped pets to gain access to both sets of skills without leaving 野兽形态 图标野兽形态.

You can optionally select one pet of the Supportive archetype, like Jacaranda or Brown Bear, to access 灵魂舒缓 图标灵魂舒缓 for more healing.

This makes 无畏坚韧 图标无畏坚韧 unavailable until 永恒联结 图标永恒联结 is ready again. Therefore only use it right after 精神压制 图标精神压制 to ensure the skill will be off Cooldown in time.

Hand Kiting

Use the following skills to mitigate damage from hands:

It is recommended to absorb the first two hits from each stack of hands, and using a mitigation skill for the the next three hits. Move off the stack of hands as soon as the 5th is down.

For this build to work, you will need the following:

Regeneration from:

and Protection from:

Boost your own boons by using "同心治疗!" 图标"同心治疗!" frequently.

Mind Crush

Use 无畏坚韧 图标无畏坚韧 to give yourself a four second Invulnerability frame.

无畏坚韧 图标无畏坚韧 will be up for every 精神压制 图标精神压制.

Always save this skill for 精神压制 图标精神压制. If you somehow do not have it up, pray that 格挡反踢 图标格挡反踢 or 蔑视痛苦 图标蔑视痛苦 are available for a block.

Notes

Use 先辈恩泽 图标先辈恩泽 or 灵魂舒缓 图标灵魂舒缓 if you need to heal up, or use them to assist allies. You can stay on Greatsword the entire time, or swap to Staff to support allies.

The only Toughness you will receive is from 野兽形态 图标野兽形态 with your Black Bear. This is due to the Stout archetype that grants 200 Toughness and 100 Vitality.

If you feel like you can't survive with 1200 Toughness, you can replace some Minstrel instead of Harrier trinkets. Make sure to inform the tank about your Toughness.

Use 藤蔓迸射 图标藤蔓迸射 to slow down Prides if you are near one.
