特性变体 Specialization Variants

Arcane is chosen as a default traitline as the lower cooldowns on attunement swapping and overloads allows you to be more flexible with your rotation, and the extra Protection： means you don't need to rely on to make it permanent. is a nice bonus.

This said, Arcane is a rather unimpressive traitline, so it can be freely swapped to Fire 或 Air:

• Fire adds a lot of potential condi cleanse via 。
• Air gives you a primary source of Fury，which may be necessary if you are somehow paired with a Quickness support that doesn't provide any Fury：you to extend. It also offers higher CC.

Fire

Air

使用说明 Usage

The basic rotation idea will be the same regardless of which mainhand weapon you're using, as your key skills are on your overloads, warhorn, and shouts, leaving mainhand weapon skills predominantly for damage.

Opener

Start in Fire Attunement

• Throw out any quick DPS skills such as and use in the fire field to blast some Might
• to start stacking Might
• Stay in Fire Attunement until you hit 25 Might
• to share the Might 和 Fury with your squad

Swap to Water Attunement

• to blast more Might

Swap to Earth Attunement

• to apply Protection and extend boons on everyone
• and other DPS skills
• Wait until is ready and use it

Main rotation

The core of your boon application is to use 和 whenever they are available (every 24 seconds, with Alacrity), also using the overloads in these attunements. This means you want to switch to Fire Attunement within ~3 seconds of it coming off cooldown, and repeat the opener. You should alternate between Water Attunement and one of the other attunements, using whichever healing skills are available whenever you return to water. It is important NOT to use as this will lock you out of Water Attunement：too long. Enter Air Attunement：，and you can try to squeeze in some extra DPS via 或 but it's not essential.

Be aware that your skills that generate Magnetic Aura - ，， via 和 while in Earth Attunement - will cause you to reflect projectiles. This can be very useful, but can also lead to problems at encounters such as Matthias or Cairn if you are not careful when you use them.

治疗

• Swapping to Water Attunement will trigger
• 和 on warhorn
• on dagger, plus you can use to blast the water field from ：more

Your sustained healing will be lower when outside of Water Attunement，so you should use your other skills to maintain your group's health:

• is your bread and butter emergency heal, as it doesn't require you to break from your rotation to use
• is a substantial heal and partial revive that can target players up to 1200 away. This makes it by far your most reliable ranged heal and therefore it should probably be saved for when it's needed rather than using it on the stack
• is a powerful conjure that will provide you with sustained from if Water Attunement。 The splash healing only works if you hit a target, but it could be used to provide healing to the stack if you need to be at range
• is an enormous heal on a very low cooldown for as long as your elemental is alive
• If using ， is an instant-cast blast finisher, and thanks to it having two charges, it can be provide a lot of burst healing if used in quick succession.

Healing tips

• While not exactly a heal, can be much more effective by negating incoming damage that would otherwise down multiple people - good encounter knowledge will help you make the best use of this

Damage

Conveniently, just about the only skill that isn't a DPS increase or a heal is on dagger, so as long as you keep switching attunements at the correct time you can go pretty far by just mashing any skill that's off cooldown

You may also wish to avoid on sceptre, as the extra toughness might make you the tank on some encounters

Fresh Air rotations

If you're running ，you can structure your rotation for a bit more damage by going from Earth Attunement → Air Attunement → Water Attunement → Air Attunement → Fire Attunement after the opener staying in Air Attunement long enough to use each time. This is a minor reduction in boon generation that allows you to get two uses each of out ， 和 each loop.

Vulnerability

If your group has low Vulnerability，you can boost it significantly by taking and/or sceptre:

• generates about 15 stacks
• can generate 25 stacks even on a small target if aimed properly
• 's short cooldown allows it to be used twice each time you switch to water, for an extra 10 stacks per loop

Crowd control

You don't have a huge amount of CC available, and what you do have is part of your rotation so you may need to delay some skills if there is a defiance bar coming up:

• is a significant amount of CC, and can be pushed higher if you're able to build up two stacks of water arrow before using it
• if your elemental is alive
• → on dagger

If you're running you can keep your air skills off cooldown and go about your rotation as normal, as this trait means you will always be able to switch to air as soon as a defiance bar appears.
