Equipment

Traits & Skills

Traits

Skills

牦牛纹章 图标牦牛纹章 can be used in place of 投掷链锤 图标投掷链锤 if the squad has enough Immobilize output already. Hold the signet for reduced incoming damage, or cast it for an instant Heal.

This gear is the same as shown on Heal Berserker, except with different sigils and no Giver's pieces.

Some gear pieces can be swapped to Magi's stats for more Vitality. Do not swap all of them, however, since Saul's Vices will fixate onto the player with the highest Precision.

Ensure that your 超级新生法印 图标超级新生法印 and 高级新生法印 图标高级新生法印 are, in fact, two separate tiers. They have separate Cooldowns, and Heal for the same amount (in different Radii).

超级群聚符文 图标超级群聚符文 can be equipped to gain even more Vitality.

河流古物 图标河流古物 can help cast more 投掷链锤 图标投掷链锤, or another .

魔像师古物 图标魔像师古物 will help dps Deimos a little bit.

Rotation & Extras

Rotation Concept

Hand Kite Spellbreaker has five different ways to handle a set of 5 灵魂饕餮 图标灵魂饕餮 hands:

Do not let 格挡反击 图标格挡反击's counterattack fully channel; 全力反击 图标全力反击 will need to be cast before it can finish.

Weapon Swap often - it will Heal, grant Endurance, and keep cycling options for stacking 灵魂饕餮 图标灵魂饕餮.

防御旗帜 图标防御旗帜 should be placed selfishly to upkeep Regeneration, Resolution, and to gain Barrier, but it can be used on the squad for Aegis if needed.

Use 蔑视吼叫 图标蔑视吼叫 for a large Heal to recover from mistakes, and for more Resolution.

全力反击 图标全力反击 will grant a period of Evasion after casting. This allows it to negate two damage ticks of 灵魂饕餮 图标灵魂饕餮 while stacking them. Cast this only slightly before one tick; this ensures the frames last long enough to catch the next tick.

Mind Crush

精神压制 图标精神压制 can be Blocked, negated through 痛苦忍耐 图标痛苦忍耐, or turned into Healing with 藐视姿态 图标藐视姿态.

痛苦忍耐 图标痛苦忍耐 is the most convenient method, since it is an both an instant cast and has a four second long effect. About 2.5 seconds after casting 痛苦忍耐 图标痛苦忍耐, cast 藐视姿态 图标藐视姿态 to negate the pulsing damage from Weak Minded.

Use 投掷链锤 图标投掷链锤 on Prides for Immobilize, to make sure they do not reach Saul. Prides will take 30% of Saul's health if allowed to reach him.

Additional Notes

Resolution from 蔑视吼叫 图标蔑视吼叫 and 防御旗帜 图标防御旗帜 will reduce incoming damage, through 硬化护甲 图标硬化护甲. Blocking will also give Resolution every 15s.

藐视姿态 图标藐视姿态 does not take effect instantly. It takes ~750ms to grant damage inversion. Cast it with at least 1s remaining on 痛苦忍耐 图标痛苦忍耐, preferably sooner. The skill's overall duration lasts ~950ms, and a 1s aftercast.

胜利之路 图标胜利之路 is a strong Heal, and can grant more through 怒气恢复 图标怒气恢复 if striking an enemy. 碎颅 图标碎颅 also works.

Placing the cursor over the game's UI will prevent 英勇飞跃 图标英勇飞跃 and 链接破碎者 图标链接破碎者 from moving the character.
