Condition Daredevil is a strong, simple damage build for Raids and Strikes. It can also be deceptively durable, since it spends a large amount of time Evading attacks, allowing you to easily avoid danger.

Rotation & Extras

Step One: Offensive Dodging

Daredevil’s main focus is to use the specialization’s improved Dodge ability to both deal damage and maintain damage modifier uptime (in this case, 莲舞训练 图标莲舞训练).

莲舞训练 图标莲舞训练 and 追击阻断 图标追击阻断 will both inflict conditions whenever you use your Dodge ability. The buff from 莲舞训练 图标莲舞训练 lasts 6 seconds, and it refreshes every time you use your Dodge.

You’ll want to space out your Dodges every few seconds to balance your Endurance spending.

For now, you’ll fill the gaps between Dodges with Auto Attack with the following basic rotation:

  1. Dodge
  2. Fill time with two full Auto Attack Chains.
  3. Dodge

Use 顺手牵羊 图标顺手牵羊 off-cooldown to inflict Bleeding and Poison, as well as replenish one bar of Endurance and two Initiative.

When you Dodge, make sure you are in melee range to hit them with 次级撒播蒺藜 图标次级撒播蒺藜.

Dodging can interrupt abilities if they aren't finished casting. Practice the timing for your Dodge so that this happens as little as possible.

Step Two: Utility Skills

You’ll want to add your damaging utilities now. These will be 撒播蒺藜 图标撒播蒺藜, 准备千针万箭 图标准备千针万箭, and 蜘蛛毒液 图标蜘蛛毒液. Cast these off-Cooldown whenever they are available.

  • 蜘蛛毒液 图标蜘蛛毒液 is instant-cast: as long as you have allies nearby, you can click and forget it.
  • 千针万箭 图标千针万箭 will need to be detonated afterwards. This detonation is also instant-cast, so you can easily do this while performing other actions.
  • 撒播蒺藜 图标撒播蒺藜 is a long cast that leaves a long-lasting, pulsing AoE.

You can skip one of your Auto Attack Chains whenever you cast 撒播蒺藜 图标撒播蒺藜. For example:

  1. Dodge
  2. Auto Attack Chain.
  3. 撒播蒺藜 图标撒播蒺藜
  4. Dodge

Step Three: Initiative Skills

Finally, you’ll add your Initiative spending. You will only spend Initiative on 死亡绽放 图标死亡绽放 on this build.

Use 死亡绽放 图标死亡绽放 in place of an Auto Attack Chain during your normal loop. This skill will move you forward while Evading and inflicting lots of Bleeding. You can use this in combination with your Dodge to cleverly manage your position. For example:

  1. 撒播蒺藜 图标撒播蒺藜
  2. Dodge away from your enemy.
  3. 死亡绽放 图标死亡绽放 back in.
  4. Auto Attack Chain.
  5. Dodge away from your enemy.
  6. 死亡绽放 图标死亡绽放 back in.

And so on. If you ever run out of Endurance or Initiative during this basic loop, simply add another Auto Attack Chain to fill time.

Transitioning to the full build

The final step for this build involves using Weapon Swap to trigger 超级厄运法印 图标超级厄运法印. However, this step can be skipped for an extremely minor loss in damage with a simple gear swap, which is covered in the main Condition Daredevil page.
