Q & A

What is the primary purpose of the 'High Focus' skill in the B Staff rotation?

The primary purpose of 'High Focus' is to increase your damage and reduce the cooldowns of your subsequent skills, helping to set up a stronger rotation.

Why is 'Deadly Marker' crucial in the B Staff rotation, and how does it affect the party?

'Deadly Marker' is crucial because it increases your critical hit chance and provides cooldown reduction for the entire party. Every time a party member crits, it reduces everyone's cooldowns by 1%, making it a key tool for boosting overall DPS.

How does the burn mechanic work in the B Staff rotation?

Burn stacks are applied using skills like 'Meteor' and 'Firebomb'. Each burn stack increases the damage output of your abilities. For example, 'Firebomb' becomes stronger with more burn stacks, and other skills like 'Chain Thunder' and 'Infernal Wave' gain additional effects and damage with burn stacks on the target.

What is the optimal order of skills in the B Staff rotation for boss fights?

The optimal order for boss fights starts with 'High Focus', followed by 'Deadly Marker', 'Meteor', 'Firebomb', 'Fireball Barrage', 'Chain Thunder', 'Judgment Lightning', and ends with 'Infernal Wave'. This sequence maximizes damage and ensures efficient use of burn stacks.

Why is 'Infernal Wave' used last in the B Staff rotation?

'Infernal Wave' is used last because it refreshes the burn stacks, ensuring that the damage boost from burn is maintained throughout the rotation. Additionally, each burn stack increases the damage of 'Infernal Wave', making it more effective when used at the end of the sequence.

What should players do if they have to deal with boss mechanics and can't maintain their full DPS rotation?

If players have to deal with mechanics, they should prioritize maintaining the 10 burn stacks on the boss. If there is a downtime, use 'Infernal Wave' to refresh the burn stacks and resume the rotation once the boss mechanics are completed.

How does 'Strafing' fit into the B Staff rotation, and why is the number of strafes important?

'Strafing' is used to apply 'Target Stacks', which are beneficial for skills like 'Zha'. The general recommendation is to do three strafes before using 'Zha' as it ensures better use of 'Target Stacks' and maximizes damage. It has been tested that three strafes are optimal for DPS over two.

What is the benefit of using 'Nature's Blessing' in the B Staff rotation?

'Nature's Blessing' is useful for quickly refilling Mana during downtime or when low on Mana, allowing the player to continue DPS without interruption. It is an essential tool for sustaining energy in prolonged boss fights.

How do 'Projectile Speed' and 'Healing Touch' interact in the B Staff PvP setup?

'Projectile Speed' is useful in maintaining burn stacks when the burn duration is about to expire. As for 'Healing Touch', players should constantly cast it on themselves to stay alive, especially in PvP, where it's essential to manage health while staying on the move.

Why should B Staff players avoid standing too far from the tank in PvE scenarios?

Standing too far from the tank can prevent players from receiving the 'Blood Devotion' buff, which increases damage by 50%. Staying within 15 meters of the tank also ensures easier healing from the healers, making it crucial for both DPS and survival.
