2.4 Alternative Skill Path
If you want to get #1 in every bossfight you should follow this next build. it has great sustainable damage and doesnt go down!
3. Combat Rotation
One thing I like about this build is how easy it is to perform a perfect combat rotation. All you've got to do is keep in mind some rules, and you're good to go. Below are these rules and an example of an ideal execution order of the skills.
Rule 1: Only cast Double Slash and Skyliner AFTER you cast Crosscut. This will help you maximize your damage because of the Bleeding effect.
Rule 2: Only cast Zucken and Moulinet AFTER you’ve casted Crown. This will help you maximize your damage because of the Shock effect.
Rule 3: Only cast Cleave if your next skill is Slash type. This will help you maximize your damage because of the Extra damage to Slash abilities provided by Cleave.
Rule 4: Use Wagon Wheel when you’ve got nothing left and need time to reset the cooldowns, or when you’re getting swarmed and need space to reposition yourself.
Rule 5: Save restrain for high number of enemies or when you’ve got nothing left and need to auto attack.
Rule 6: Keep track of your buffs and debuffs, mainly Concentrate, Pain Barrier and the Cleave debuff on the enemies.
Pre-combat:
1x Gung Ho
1x Deeds of Valor
1x Concentrate
1x Pain Barrier
Opener:
1x Cleave (1st) (Increased Slash type damage)
1x Crosscut (1st) (applies Bleeding)
3x Double Slash (increased damage from Bleeding)
5x Skyliner (increased damage from Bleeding)
1x Crown (applies Shock)
1x Helm Chopper (1st) (Increased Cleave damage) (Applies Stun)
1x Cleave (2nd) (Increased Slash type damage)
1x Zucken (increased damage from Shock)
1x Moulinet (increased damage from Schock)
1x Helm Chopper (2nd) (Increased Cleave damage) (Applies Stun)
1x Cleave(3rd) (Increased Slash type damage) (Increased damage from Stun)
1x Redel
1x Cyclone
1x Cyclone
1x Wagon Wheel (Crowd Crontrol, gives you time to reset)
This exact order helps you maximize damage and make the skills benefit the most from the increased damage buffs. After that the boss will most likely be dead of close to death depending on your group, so you have two options. You can either wait for the cooldowns to reset and restart your full rotation or you can do split it in smaller parts as exemplified below:
Bleeding Combo:
1x Crosscut (applies Bleeding)
1x Double Slash (increased damage from bleeding)
1x Skyliner (increased damage from bleeding)
Crown Combo:
1x Crown (applies Shock)
1x Zucken (increased damage from Shock)
1x Moulinet (increased damage from Schock)
Cyclone Combo:
1x Cleave (Increased Slash type damage)
2x Cyclone (extra Slash damage)
1x Cleave (Increased Slash type damage)
1x Redel (extra Slash damage)
