Notes
The concept behind Dune Cloak Alacrity Condition Mirage is that you want to use an Ambush attack, specifically Chaos Vortex, as much as possible, and how you get an Ambush attack is by dodging, or Shattering with 3 clones. Your next auto attack will be an Ambush after dodging or Shattering. This is especially important as it is designed to be a support build, and you will give Alacrity through your Ambush attacks.
Ambush attacks also provide high uptime of both Might and Fury for your subgroup.

Rotation
Always start with:
Opener:
- Phantasmal Warlock (Staff 3)
- Dodge --> Chaos Vortex (Ambush)
- Chaos Armor (Staff 4)
- Chaos Storm (Staff 5)
Your highest priority skill is Chaos Vortex (Ambush). To use Chaos Vortex (Ambush), you will either have to dodge or use a Shatter with 3 clones to gain Mirage Cloak.
Skill Priority:
- Dodge and use Chaos Vortex without letting your energy fill up completely
- Phantasmal Warlock (Staff 3) --> Signet of the Ether --> Phantasmal Warlock (Staff 3)
- Chaos Armor (Staff 4)
- Chaos Storm (Staff 5)
On top of this, you want to use a Shatter skill whenever you have 3 clones.
Shatter Priority:
- Cry of Frustration
- Mind Wrack
After using a Shatter, you will gain Mirage Cloak and automatically perform Chaos Vortex (Ambush). Do not use any other skills until you have finished casting Chaos Vortex (Ambush), as using any other skill will cancel Chaos Vortex (Ambush).
Crowd Control
Your CC skills are, in order of priority:
CC Skills:
- Signet of Humility
- Chaos Storm (Staff 5) (Delay this skill in your rotation if you know a CC bar is coming up)
- Signet of Midnight (Small CC, moderate DPS loss)
- Signet of Domination (Big CC, big DPS loss)
Advanced Tips
Distortion is also a very long immune skill, scaling up to a maximum of 3 seconds with the number of clones you currently have, and should be your panic button. It can also be used to dodge mechanics on various raids to increase your damage uptime.
