This build has extremely strong Single Target and AoE pressure with the abilities we have at our disposal, but we also bring some great group utility and the minor fracture debuff as well!

Resource Management & Rotation
The best way to play this build is with a dynamic rotation, using Power of the Light every time it bursts, applying all DoTs and re-applying them right before they fall off, and if neither of those things need to be done using jabs. However, if you’re looking for a more static rotation, this is what I would recommend:
Ritual of Retribution > Light Attack > Carve > Light Attack > Blazing Spear > Light Attack > Stampede > Weapon Swap > Barbed Trap > Light Attack > Deadly Cloak > Light Attack > Power of the Light > Light Attack > 4x Biting Jabs > Light Attack > Power of the Light > Weapon Swap
NOTE: Use Flawless Dawnbreaker as your primary ultimate. Weave it into your rotation as it comes up, but make sure it’s while you have power of the light up to maximize your damage. Re-cast Restoring Focus as needed.
