Notes


Its quite hard to do badly on this build... This build gambles on Reverberation to empower Commands.

Rotation


Other than providing alacrity, there isn't a real rotation, you could mash all the buttons on cooldown and it will heal, provide 10-11 boons and bruteforce heal/barrier most mechanics.

However, the build has a lot of room for optimisation and it is important to reserve some skills for when you require them. The situations below are non-exhaustive and you will find more uses that will not be covered in this guide. However because there are many options, you will still perform well if you mess up badly or do not follow the rotation described below.

Opener

The opener is optional and helps to speed up initial ramp of adrenaline and prioritises might uptime.

  1. Use all your commands to build adrenaline.
  2. Chant of Action (F2)_
  3. Path to Victory (F1)
  4. 🔁Weapon swap (to Warhorn) and use WH skills

    Charge Call of Valor

  5. Rotate your chants to provide alacrity.
  6. 🔁Weapon swap (to Staff)

Providing Alacrity

Alternate your chants every 6s to provide alacrity. Use Valiant Leap and {{ skill(id="71889") to get adrenaline. There is a certain priority depending on the situation:

SkillKeyWhen prioritised
Chant of ActionF2To give might and fury
Chant of RecuperationF3When you need heals
Chant of FreedomF4When you need stability/stun-break

Commands

You must use your commands to grant boons, but you must also reserve some for emergencies.

SkillEffect
"We Will Never Yield!"Used to bypass raid mechanics
"We Shall Return!"Lots of healing and condi-cleanses
"Brace Yourselves!"Barrier
"Find Their Weakness!"For Might uptime
"Never Surrender!"For Aegis, Resistance, Resolution
  • "Find Their Weakness!" and "Never Surrender!" should be used as part of your rotation to maintain boons.
  • Many of your other boons are covered by your weapons and there is some overlap.

Crowd Control

Command CC

"On Your Knees!" is a very strong pulsing CC that is ample in almost all situations. Use it to replace "Find Their Weakness!"

Weapon skills that provide breakbar damage

  1. Disrupting Stab (🗡️3)
  2. Snap Pull (⚕️5)
  3. Skull Crack (🏏F1)
  4. Tremor (🏏5)
  5. Pommel Bash (🏏3) (only when tanking)

CC Utilities
Additional CC options are available but reduce your might uptime when you switch out another command to use them. I do not recommend doing so and hence it will not be covered in the guide.
