Venom [qDPS]

Notes

This build is simplified to use a fixed, consistent and easy-to-remember rotation. Condition damage and eight-legged pets are empowered through the trait Arachnophobia. This build however still performs decently and allows one to comfortably learn the class mechanics with fewer APMs while providing very good and steady quickness uptime.

Rotation

General Rotation

The entirety of quickness Untamed rotation can be summarised into two steps.

1. Opener (optional)
2. Quickness Rotation
3. DPS Rotation
4. Repeat

Precast

1. Sharpening Stone

Opener

The opener can give a very good burst, especially when the boss has different phases.

1. Unleash Pet
2. All your Utility Skills (7/8/9)
3. 3 pet skills (can be cast simultaneously)
   • Venomous Outburst (Essential Unleashed Pet F1)
   • Rending Vines (Optional F2)
   • Enveloping Haze (Optional F3)
4. Unleash Ranger

• If you skip the opener, you just have to use Unleash Ranger to unlock Unleashed Ambush to proceed with the quickness rotation.
• The 3 pet skills have no cast time but venomous outburst is your biggest contributor. The other 2 may be skipped to lower your APM if they slow your rotation. The damage difference is negligible.
• If you use a 2KRO/3KRO keyboard, your simultaneous cast of pet skills may result in input failure. Most gaming keyboards are 6KRO, allowing all the buttons to be pressed at the same time. Alternatively, can just use F2.

Quickness Rotation

This build starts off with a very simple quickness rotation through the trait Unleashed Power.

1. Unleashed Ambush
   • Neurotoxin Burst OR
   • Sundering Volley
2. 🔃 Weapon Swap
3. Unleashed Ambush (other weapon)
4. Continue with DPS Rotation

DPS Rotation - L to R (A/D) R to L (D/T)

After using your 2nd Unleash Ambush -> use the skills from left to right for Axe/Dagger and from right to left for Dagger/Torch. The first skill you use will be recharged faster. This skill is bolded in the rotation and should be cast twice before Unleash Pet and reentering the opener. This will maximise the effect of Quick Draw. This is bolded in the rotation below.

• Dagger/Torch 5432 then 5
  1. Skill 5
  2. Skill 4
  3. Skill 3
  4. Skill 2
  5. Skill 5
  6. Pet F2 (if available)
  7. Continue with Opener (see above)

• Axe/Dagger 2345 then 2
  1. Skill 2
  2. Skill 3
  3. Skill 4
  4. Skill 5
  5. Skill 2
  6. Pet F2 (if available)
  7. Continue with Opener (see above)

• Your pet skills don't interrupt your rotation and you may use them as desired.
• Any condition based spider or devourer pet is preferred due to Arachnophobia
• If you use Unleash Ranger before your 🔃 Weapon Swap refreshes, your Unleashed Ambush will not be ready.
• Using Unleash Ranger too early will lead to a large DPS loss. Using it late will lead to a small DPS loss and maintain quickness.

Crowd Control Skills

1. Tail Lash (F1)
2. Exploding Spores (Utility Alternative)
3. Spike Trap (Utility Alternative)
4. Bring other pets if you need more
