Usage
The Chamber
- Use Sprint to run up and take the Clear the Chamber quest from the lost soul, and run back to a safe position.
- Pre-cast one of your visages and use Sprint as an IMS to pull the groups of Grasping Darkness to the center shrine.
- Auto-attack and use your attack skills to build up adrenaline.
- Once charged, use Bonetti's Defense followed by one of your visages and Physical Resistance.
- Use Echo followed by Whirlwind Attack. Using one will recharge the other, so you can constantly spam them.
- Re-apply your visages and Physical Resistance whenever needed.
- If your health gets low, use Lion's Comfort
The Run
- Once you have completed the quest, run along the right side to the open gate, being sure to break aggro with the three or four nearby Aatxes.
- Echo Sprint for a constant IMS on the way to the smites.
- To see how to get to the smites, see the build E/Me Terra Tank.
The Smites
- Use the same techniques used above on the Grasping Darkness.
- If a Smite Crawler casts Shield of Judgment stop using your AoE for about 15 seconds and keep reapplying your Visages.
- Try to pull as many smites as possible, as you can kill 6 or you can kill 50 in the same amount of time. Watch out for Coldfires as they can kill you.
- If a Dying Nightmare pops up kill it before it can pull your visages.
Notes
- A Sunspear rank as low as 4 will have the same damage as cyclone axe. Any higher and the damage increases.
