SKILL LINEAGE

SKILL (MORPH)	BASE ABILITY	SKILL TREE
Blighted Blastbones	Blastbones	Necromancer > Grave Lord
Magnum Shot	Scatter Shot	Weapon > Bow
Acid Spray	Arrow Spray	Weapon > Bow
Camouflaged Hunter	Expert Hunter	Guild > Fighters Guild
Detonating Siphon	Shocking Siphon	Necromancer > Grave Lord
Pestilent Colossus	Frozen Colossus	Necromancer > Grave Lord
Skeletal Archer	Skeletal Mage	Necromancer > Grave Lord
Endless Hail	Volley	Weapon > Bow
Resolving Vigor	Vigor	Alliance War > Assault
Poison Injection	Poison Arrow	Weapon > Bow

ROTATION

• We will apply our Dots
  • Skeletal Archer, Endless Hail, Barbed Trap, Poison Injection > Magnum Shot
• Begin your spammable rotation
  • Blastbones > Acid Spray > Acid Spray — Repeat until battle is over, replacing an acid spray with whichever dot is falling off as necessary

Yeah, it’s that simple!

• Insert Detonating Siphon anytime after the previous detonating siphon has blown up.
  
  
• Use Resolving Vigor when necessary. We do not use Camouflaged Hunter, it is simply there for the passive it provides.
  
  
• *For longer boss fights without adds, slot Lethal Arrow instead of Camouflaged Hunter and use Lethal Arrow as the Spammable. This will increase your single target damage, and help with your sustain.
