Tri-Pots

  • Typical Burst Combo: Incinerate->Heart of Flame->Throwing Knife->Flame Lash->Power Lash->Power Lash->Power Lash…

 

  • If Dark Convergence is off of Cooldown you can almost guaranteed land this by forcing a block on the Dark Convergence pull, which makes Warden Class Script Charm land. For a lot of additional damage, activate Northern Storm before a combo.

 

  • You can also activate Power Lash before going for a full combo to have more immediate AoE burst, just make sure not to spend the Power Lashes and wait out the Class Script and Dark Convergence cooldowns if needed.

 

  • Make sure to keep Heart of Flame active as much as possible – this is your main sustain ability. You can activate it right after casting Incinerate, when Incinerate has 9 seconds left and when it has 4 seconds left to land the damage portion at the same time for maximum burst.

 

  • The build is very durable, but make sure to still position properly! You have Ball of Lightning to help you with this.
