Can swap out  Plaguelands.png Plaguelands for  Summon Flesh Golem.png Summon Flesh Golem for more Miscellaneous effect.png Defiance Break.

Rotation[edit]

Rotation GIF

Should be able to hit at least 20k dps on golem with full quickness uptime without food/util.

TLDR[edit]

  • Elixirs
  • Plaguelands if up, Blood is Power
  • Go into Shroud, Shroud loop (4, 3, 2, …, 2, 3, 4), leave Shroud
  • Pistol loop (2, 3, 4, …, 4)
  • repeat

Notes[edit]

Your Quickness.png Quickness sources are:


Miscellaneous effect.png Defiance Break:


Try to have your elixirs splash both the squad (including you!) and the boss whenever possible. Prefer hitting allies over the boss if you have to choose one.


Plague Sending Plague Sending causes your first attack in  Harbinger Shroud.png Harbinger Shroud to transfer 2 conditions. We take advantage of this by using  Blood Is Power.png Blood Is Power and  Plaguelands.png Plaguelands (if available) before going into shroud.

Opener[edit]

We start halfway into the Pistol Loop to immediately provide quickness to our subgroup and then take advantage of having full Miscellaneous effect.png Life Force.
