Rotation & Extras

Step One

The first step introduces the general loop structure of the build. On each weapon use the Burst skill twice before each Weapon Swap. This ensures high uptime on 洞察袭击 图标洞察袭击, 狂战之力 图标狂战之力 and 武者束缚 图标武者束缚. Thus, the loop looks like this:

  1. 撼地重击 图标撼地重击
  2. Filler
  3. 撼地重击 图标撼地重击
  4. Weapon Swap
  5. 突破打击 图标突破打击
  6. Filler
  7. 突破打击 图标突破打击
  8. Weapon Swap

The next steps will introduce weapon skills between Bursts and Weapon Swap, as well as the filler skills between Bursts. In the meantime, use Auto Attacks and get used to the timing of each chain. You will need to count them in later steps.

Step Two

The next few steps will introduce combos to the rotation. These are short sequences of skills, linked to the next combo through either Weapon Swapping or Auto Attack Chains. The first is:

Dagger Combo 1

  1. 干扰戳刺 图标干扰戳刺碎裂重锤 图标碎裂重锤
  2. 突破打击 图标突破打击
  3. 大地震颤 图标大地震颤

Use it immediately when Weapon Swapping to Dagger/Mace.

Be careful to not cancel 碎裂重锤 图标碎裂重锤 by casting 干扰戳刺 图标干扰戳刺 too early.

Step Three

The next combo to add is:

Hammer Combo 1

  1. 凶猛打击 图标凶猛打击
  2. 撼地重击 图标撼地重击
  3. 巨锤冲击 图标巨锤冲击
  4. 震撼锤击 图标震撼锤击

This combo should be used immediately when Weapon Swapping to Hammer.

凶猛打击 图标凶猛打击 can also be easily cancelled by casting 撼地重击 图标撼地重击 too early, while 撼地重击 图标撼地重击 has a very long aftercast which should be cancelled by spamming 巨锤冲击 图标巨锤冲击 during the animation of 撼地重击 图标撼地重击.

Step Four

This combo will be the final step in the Hammer loop:

Hammer Combo 2

  1. 凶猛打击 图标凶猛打击裂背重锤 图标裂背重锤凶猛打击 图标凶猛打击
  2. 撼地重击 图标撼地重击
  3. 巨锤冲击 图标巨锤冲击

凶猛打击 图标凶猛打击 can be used twice in rapid succession because the Cooldown is reset by 裂背重锤 图标裂背重锤.

The full Hammer Loop will be:

  1. Hammer Combo 1
  2. Two Auto Attack Chains
  3. Hammer Combo 2
  4. Weapon Swap

Use the Weapon Swap to Dagger after 巨锤冲击 图标巨锤冲击 to cancel the aftercast of this skill.

Step Five

In this step, add the final two Mace combos to the rotation:

Dagger Combo 2

  1. 精准切割 图标精准切割
  2. 公牛冲锋 图标公牛冲锋

Dagger Combo 3

  1. 突破打击 图标突破打击
  2. 碎裂重锤 图标碎裂重锤干扰戳刺 图标干扰戳刺

The full Dagger Loop will be:

  1. Dagger Combo 1
  2. Four Auto Attack Chains
  3. Dagger Combo 2
  4. One Auto Attack Chain
  5. Dagger Combo 3
  6. Weapon Swap

Just like with the Hammer loop, you can cancel the aftercast of 干扰戳刺 图标干扰戳刺 with a timely Weapon Swap.

Transitioning to the Full Build

The only thing left to learn is the opener:

  1. 弱化之风 图标弱化之风
  2. 公牛冲锋 图标公牛冲锋
  3. 突破打击 图标突破打击
  4. 碎裂重锤 图标碎裂重锤大地震颤 图标大地震颤碎裂重锤 图标碎裂重锤
  5. 干扰戳刺 图标干扰戳刺
  6. Weapon Swap

We open with 弱化之风 图标弱化之风 to quickly gain 洞察袭击 图标洞察袭击 stacks. After the opener, use Weapon Swap and start the rotation loop.

You can restart from your opener on your Dagger set if there is significant downtime between phases or fights. A good indicator of when to start from the opener is if 公牛冲锋 图标公牛冲锋 is off Cooldown. Remember to use 弱化之风 图标弱化之风 if you do restart your rotation.

Congratulations, you now know how to play Power Spellbreaker. Look at the Power Spellbreaker Raid Build page for a complete overview of the rotation.
