Skill Reference Guide

Key Concepts

Support Harbinger is a really unique Tertiary Support which provides mandatory offensive boons such as Might and Fury. It also provides excellent utility inherent to Necromancer with Boon Removal aswell as heavy Crowd Controls.

As for every Necromancer specialization, we will be looking to synchronize 腐化法池 to remove boons from enemies and get them Downed. Same applies to 夜幕降临 from Greatsword. It is vital to wait for your Commander's call to use these Cooldowns and you should never use them mindlessly.

Harbinger's Shroud allows us to grant Might and Fury everytime we use 黑暗弹幕. Staff will be giving other interesting boons, notably defensive ones like Protection, Vigor and Stability. Lastly, 鲜血力量 will ensure our Damage dealers are fully buffed by granting massive amounts of Might instantly.

Primary Boons

As an offensive Tertiary Support, we will be looking to grant the boons our Damage dealers greatly prize; Might, Fury and Quickness. We will also try to help on other boons uptimes thanks to the versatility of Staff.

Harbinger's Shroud gives Might and Fury thanks to 致命急速. Our goal is to stay a few seconds in shroud in order to press twice 黑暗弹幕 and then leave.

Might will also be granted by pressing 鲜血力量 on important clashes to ensure we reach 25 stacks of Might on our Damage dealers.

Outside of these boons, Staff with 鲜血印记, 凛冬印记 and 夺魂印记 respectively grant Vigor, Protection and Stability : mind using these skills frequently and keep an eye on their Cooldowns!

It is worth noting 无知试剂 grants a good amount of Resistance : it can be used as much as you are comfortable moving around without Stun Break.

Last but not least, remember 勇气试剂 grants every single boon for 10 seconds, including the really rare Alacrity. This Cooldown must be used wisely, preferably right before the Well of Corruption Call in order to let the projectile hit the ground and grant its effects for the following move.

Healing and Supporting Allies

Support Harbinger relies exclusively on Staff and Blood Magic Trait Line to support allies. We will not have as much impact as the Secondary Supports but we will try to help them to keep the squad healthy. We have a few ways to Heal allies :

• Every Staff marks slightly Heal allies hit thanks to 鲜血输送.
• 凛冬印记 is our main Healing source to help Secondary Supports on important timings.
• 离开先驱帷幕 also largely Heals due to 起死回生, but we won't be specifically timing it as we just want to cycle through our shroud for boons.
• Again thanks to 鲜血输送, 贪食跃冲 will be generating another 凛冬印记 to Heal allies : mind using this skill everytime you go into Harbinger's Shroud.

Well of Corruption Spike

As mentionned above, you should use 勇气试剂 right before the Well of Corruption Call on your group and yourself. Due to its longer Cooldown, it won't be up on every call but you should synchronize it whenever it is possible. An ideal rotation on the Well of Corruption Call would look like this :

1. on the call, right before pushing.
5. in order to gap close at the wells location.
7. Wait for Cooldown
9. Swap to Greatsword if you aren't on it already.

The idea behind this spike is rather simple : we are maximizing our Boon Removal output on the spike, entering shroud to proc but also to keep pulsing boons. As we know enemies will lose a lot of their boons including Stability, we will aim to use as many Crowd Controls as possible to catch the weakened players out of their squad. and are extremely powerful Crowd Controls. They should be used wisely for the rest of the fight following that idea aswell : you can also decide to keep for the call.

Defense

Support Harbinger is naturally tanky thanks to its gear, but we still have a few tools to help ourselves when the pressure gets too high in hard situations.

• Do not mind supporting yourself if you are about to die, just as if you were using your support skills on your allies following the explanations above.
• Your unique Stun Break is . If you have a hard time surviving, keep this skill solely to help yourself rather than having a higher Resistance uptime.
• and are your only gap closers and are available only in Harbinger's Shroud.

As your build doesn't provide any source of Blocks or Evades, position yourself in consequence and mind using your Dodges wisely !
