A very good all-around kiter that brings lots of boons, boonstrip, good mobility, barrier and lots of CC while being relatively straightforward to play
Level 80 · ascended gear · Passive effects only
Unbuffed includes level base stats, selected gear, upgrades, Jade Bot, Reinforced Armor, and supported passive traits. Infusions are included. Green values in parentheses include the food and utility consumable. Primary/Secondary switches between the weapon sets.
Not included in the stats above:
Some effects are not included
Your passive healing comes from
Regeneration from
Well of Bounty or ally targeting
Measured Shot, and blasting your wells with
Shadow Sap to gain
Dark Aura (which heals due to
Shadow Savior and cleanses due to
Cover of Shadow). When in
Enter Shadow Shroud, both
Haunt Shot
Grasping Shadows will apply small amounts of consistent healing.
Your burst healing comes from
Well of Gloom and
Eternal Night. Keep them ready for when you anticipate large amounts of incoming damage.
You have access to on-demand
Stability from
Well of Bounty and
Mind Shock.
Mind Shock is not completely reliable, as ally tethering issues sometimes cause it to only affect four players.
Your main single target CC comes from
Head Shot, while area CC is provided by
Well of Silence and
Shadowfall.
Mind Shock can also provide some in a pinch but is generally best used for its
Stability application.
Note: while spear is generally considered the superior weapon for CC due to
Distracting Throw, pistol is much burstier, making it better overall in the orb phases. Only run spear if your group is severely lacking CC, and the defiance bar is up for 4-5 seconds.
Spam
Shadow Sap for
Protection and barrier. Use
Shadowstep to place your red at the correct position and port back. Precast
Well of Silence before the
Fear for
Resistance and cleanse, then time
Well of Gloom to heal after. Conclude with
Well of Bounty to provide
Stability for the spreads immediately after.
Grasping Shadows can also be used to cleanse as a backup.
This build runs a secondary main-hand pistol to gain access to
Unload for pushing. Since this skill has a very long cast time, set it to autocast so you can interrupt it if necessary.
Initial release.
