使用说明 Usage

循环 Rotation

If you're using a pistol offhand, ignore any weapon swaps below. It is also optimal to skip the Post-Shroud section in this case.

Opener

1. If possible, precast such that you can immediately trigger it and place it a second time.
3. ， 和 。 These are all instant cast, so can be used during the cast time of step 2. Make sure you're within range of allies for the venoms!
4. if it's available.
6. x2
7. Weapon Swap

Opening Shroud Loop

The first two uses of Shadow Shroud are slightly longer than during the rest of your rotation. This makes cooldowns line up better, as well as optimising triggers.

1. Grasping Shadows
2. Mind Shock (if using )
3. Eternal Night
4. Haunt Shot until Grasping Shadows is off cooldown
5. Grasping Shadows
6. Haunt Shot until Grasping Shadows is off cooldown
7. Grasping Shadows

Post-Shroud

1. x3
2. Weapon Swap
6. → → - if you're fast, then you have time to fit between steps 1 and 2, and complete the chain here.
7. repeat Opening Shroud Loop

Rest of the Rotation

The rest of the rotation has no strict skill order:

• You should enter Shadow Shroud as soon as it becomes available, and use one of the shroud loops below.
• If using ，use off cooldown while in Shadow Shroud。
• Use ，，， 和 off cooldown.
  • Triggering can be delayed if necessary, as the cooldown is only gated by preparing it.
  • As lasts for 24 seconds, it may be worth saving until the next phase of a boss if the current phase is about to end.
• Spam to use up all your initiative.
• Try to finish autoattack chains if possible. Unusually, you have a lot of grace time between the chain skills to use other skills without cancelling the chain.
• If you have no other skills to cast, you can use to gain access to 。 The cast time is very long though, so be sure you won't have to delay other skills in order to finish it.
• Weapon Swap， 和 will all trigger 和 。 These have a 9- and an 8-second internal cooldown respectively, so if you are able to track these cooldowns you can squeeze extra damage out of the rotation.
  • Otherwise just Weapon Swap off cooldown and hope for the best, being sure that you have less than 9 initiative to prevent wasting the effect of in case it triggers.

Normal Shroud Loop

Most of the time when you enter shroud, you want to do the following loop:

1. Grasping Shadows
2. Eternal Night
3. Haunt Shot until Grasping Shadows is off cooldown
4. Grasping Shadows

Use if it comes off cooldown between steps 1 and 4.

Short Shroud Loop

Sometimes you will end up going into shroud just before your utility skills come off cooldown. In this case, do a much shorter loop:

1. Grasping Shadows
2. Eternal Night

常规技巧 General Tips

• Almost all your damage can be done at range, but Eternal Night 和 Mind Shock are both melee range. If you are not in range to use them, either delay or skip them during the shroud loop.
• While in Shadow Shroud，incoming damage is absorbed by your Shadow Force rather than your health. If you believe an incoming attack will kick you out before finishing the full Shroud loop, it may be worth doing a shorter one instead.
  • If you have more than 2 stacks of when you exit, the group healing you provide will exceed the personal damage mitigation you would have had. You're helping!
  • Alternatively, if there are no allies within range, you can use Shadow Shroud defensively to absorb incoming damage, as you lose your Shadow Force on Shroud exit regardless.
• Avoid staying for too long in Shadow Shroud as the DPS from Haunt Shot is worse than that of Scepter, and you need to spend initiative to maintain stacks of 。
• If there is nothing to attack, you can target allies with Scepter skills to buff them with barrier, and apply stacks of venom via just before a new phase starts.
