Notes
Press
- Refraction Cutter (Sword 2)
- Radiant Arc (Sword 3)
- Overclock Signet
- Throw Mine
off cooldown, and that is basically your rotation.
Your auto attack chain reduces the cooldown of Refraction Cutter (Sword 2) and Radiant Arc (Sword 3), allowing you to cast them more often. This lines up pretty well and results in you being able to use Radiant Arc (Sword 3) every other time you use Radiant Arc (Sword 3). Using Throw Mine does NOT cancel your auto attack chain so you don't have to worry about managing it, spam away.
You have very nice utilities with the Shield. You can bring a Pistol instead for about 1k+ more DPS, but I will always recommend the Shield over Pistol.
Magnetic Shield (Shield 4) is a 3s long projectile reflect, and can be pressed twice in quick succession for CC.
Static Shield (Shield 5) is a 2.5s long block, and is basically your panic button. It can also be pressed twice in quick succession for CC.
On top of that, you have Throw Mine and Overclock Signet, which are both CC skills even though they are being used primarily for damage. Finally, you have Force Signet, which is another CC skill, but you should only use it in the most dire of situations, as using it is a DPS loss.
