![]() Vigilant Thrust - Deals high single target damage, applies an armor debuff with Utility, grants 1 focus, used here for convenience to set up the rotation. As such, the discipline has respectable burst for a “DoT discipline” and any buff to burst damage via this tactical is nominal and at the much higher opportunity cost of sustained DPS that could be buffed much more via other tacticals.įorce Leap IF AT RANGE - Used to close the distance and build energy.įorce Clarity OFF GCD - Used here to start the Descent of the Fearless +10% damage buff rolling and to apply 4 stacks of +25% damage for eligible abilities in the opener. While Vigilance has 3 DoTs, two of them deal low damage in comparison to their base damage and only Plasma Brand is a true DoT like with other DoT-based DPS classes. Sacrificing a GCD to move out of range to leap back in is a DPS loss due to the lost GCD and the minimal damage done by a leap, even if the succeeding abilities do somewhat more damage. The challenge for the tactical is that above 30% boss health the DPS increase is likely to be nominal. In sub-30% boss health, it would provide the discipline with stronger DPS via more regular use of Riposte and its 30% damage buff. For any fights with frequent target swapping, it would also provide semi-frequent burst damage. By using Force Leap as often as possible (including backing briefly out of melee range so as to use it) to proc Whirling Blade and Riposte, that would provide as much uptime of the tactical buff as possible in >30% boss health situations. ![]() ![]() Analysis: A Vicious Cycle appears to be designed to synergize with the Ardent Advocate and Battlefield Command utilities to provide additional burst damage capability for Vigilance.
