is another great option on that tier to bring Condition Removal to your squad.

Equipment Notes

Offhand Sword can be considered over Focus to get more AoE damage at the cost of single target spikes and Boon Removal.

Key Concepts

Power Ritualist is a Necromancer specialization that utilizes Boon Corruption through skills such as 腐化法池 and 夜幕降临. It also outputs a decent amount of Damage, notably thanks to its unique mechanic : 祭祀帷幕. Most of its impact being Ranged, it is a really strong safe choice for the Necromancer class, but doesn't provide the prized 恐怖吐息 from Power Scourge.

It relies on Spirits and their associated Innervations for various effects; our 2 - 4 skills in Ritualist's Shroud will allow us to spawn these Spirits while our F2 - F4 will unleash them for extra effects. Leaving shroud will destroy them, disabling the use of their respective Innervations skills. Using 流浪灵魂 is our main priority due to its consequent Damage and Crowd Control output : we will double it thanks to 灵魂扭曲.

祭祀帷幕 is also buffed by a variety of traits:

• 灵魂之力 significantly increases Damage from our Spirits.
• 恶灵附体 helps Remove Boons when you use 祭祀帷幕.

Use 祭祀帷幕 on the squad main spikes to swiftly generate and cleave enemy Downs, while outputting Crowd Controls. Its Range will allow us to surprise enemies which didn't disengage early enough.

Axe, Focus and Greatsword will also help us to control the fight from Range with 噬灵盛宴, 刺骨恶寒 and 黑暗抓攫.

Rotation Notes

Always try to double thanks to . In order to do that, we will often shortly delay entering shroud as Cooldown is slightly higher than Cooldown.

Always cast instantly after in order to put it on Cooldown and get procs more often.
