Tri-Pots

 

  • Basic rotation: [Light Attack]+Deep Fissure->[Light Attack]+Cutting Dive->[Light Attack]+Cutting Dive->[Light Attack]+Cutting Dive+Weapon Swap->[Light Attack]+Magnum Shot+Weapon Swap->[Light Attack]+Merciless Resolve.

 

  • You can vary up your CCs by going for Off Balance stuns instead using of Magnum Shot, try to land these before Shalks or Merciless Resolve.

 

  • You can use Bombard as a finisher against low health opponents, as it deals damage faster than Cutting Dive and cannot be dodge rolled. You can also use Bombard to reveal invisible opponents.

 

  • Kiting tips: keep your opponents rooted with Bombard as much as possible and Magnum Shot them when they’re trying to catch up and aren’t CC immune. You can use Bird of Prey for additional mobility and to get rid of snares and roots and the charm field dropped by Healing Soul can also be used to slow down or charm people trying to chase you. Mobility is your best friend on this build.

 

  • Make sure to not use the ultimate unless you can be sure to execute the target with it, as your damage will drop significantly when below 170 Ultimate due to Shattered Paths Signet.
