Guide

Build Explanation

Overland / Questing (Fast‑Kill Rotation)

Goal: speed, mobility, minimal setup

  1. Chakram of Destiny (shield + Crux)
  2. Runic Embrace (pull + debuff)
  3. Pragmatic Fatecarver (beam → everything dies)
  4. Shocking Banner only for elites or large packs
  5. Cruxweaver Armor only every ~20s

Why: Overland mobs die before a full rotation; prioritize beam uptime.

🧟 Solo Arenas (BRP, Vateshran, Maelstrom)

Goal: survival + burst + control

  1. Cruxweaver Armor (always up)
  2. Chakram of Destiny (shield)
  3. Runic Embrace (pull + heal + debuff)
  4. Shocking Banner (AoE DoT + Major Vulnerability)
  5. Fatecarver (full channel)
  6. Chakram again between waves for shield refresh

Notes:

  • Banner is your biggest AoE tool—use it on cooldown.
  • Runic Embrace gives huge sustain + control in BRP.

🏰 Dungeons (Normal/Vet)

Goal: maximize group DPS + debuffs

Trash packs:

  1. Shocking Banner
  2. Chakram
  3. Runic Embrace
  4. Fatecarver (beam through entire pack)

Bosses:

  1. Cruxweaver Armor
  2. Runic Embrace (Major/Minor debuffs)
  3. Shocking Banner (Major Vulnerability)
  4. Chakram (Crux + shield)
  5. Fatecarver (full channel)
  6. Maintain debuffs → repeat

🧪 Blackrose Prison (BRP) — Specialized Rotation

Goal: shield uptime + beam uptime

  1. Cruxweaver Armor
  2. Chakram
  3. Runic Embrace
  4. Fatecarver
  5. Chakram (between waves)
  6. Banner on elite waves only

Reason: BRP punishes stationary channels; use Banner to soften waves before beaming.

Skyreach (XP Grinding)

Goal: maximum speed AoE clearing

  1. Shocking Banner on every pull
  2. Chakram while running
  3. Runic Embrace to pull mobs into a stack
  4. Fatecarver → everything melts
  5. Cruxweaver Armor only every 20–25s

Tip:   Use Runic Embrace to yank mobs into the Banner → beam through the entire pack.
