Guide

Build Explanation

The website isn't up to date yet so I cannot slot Deep breath (soul of flame) frontbar, but thats the skill missing on the first slot.

You want to typically do Hail > Contigency while running in, deepbreath > Dread > Lash when you are in melee range then spam whirling when adds are at 40% hp or you dont have lash stacks anymore.  

You can slot NB bow to build your stacks for bosses. If you want to optimise you can slot it backbar, then swap to a setup with it slotted both frontbar and backbar, then finally to boss setup. It allows you to keep stacks while still moving it from back to front.

I would recommend to use Runeblade at the end of a trashpack before a boss, to build your crux while running to leave already (instead of cloak for exemple).

Make sure to use reaper's mark from far, while running in, if it takes gcds of your trash damage then it's not worth casting on this pack. It has an insane range, so make sure to use it as early as possible (target a small add).

Whenever you are planning to ult, you can swap to an acuity setup with ansuul, it will improve your overall trash dmg in logs.

You can recast Standard on the next pack if you are quick enough.

If you can, keep some Lash stacks for the next trash, its always a bit more dmg.
