- DPS Rotation (Hammer Only) = Auto attacks only or Mighty Blow -> 2x AA chains -> Mighty Blow -> 2x AA chains -> repeat. They do the same DPS so you really only want to use Mighty Blow for fire fields and not break up your auto attack chain or else it will be a DPS loss.
- DPS Rotation (Hammer + Greatsword) = GS2 -> GS4 -> GS3 -> GS5 if no pull is needed -> GS auto until GS2 is up -> GS2 -> Swap to Hammer and do 3 AA chains (If need to dodge or use Mighty Blow then complete current chain while swap becomes available and swap) -> repeat GS and Hammer rotation. For quick mobs use GS2-4 -> Hammer.
- Whirling Wrath hits more than 9 times if you stand in a target hitbox
- Binding Blades hits more than once if you stand in a target hitbox with adds around it
- Flashing Blades is a big DPS loss so only use it if you need another blind or your group is really lacking vuln stacking.
- Zealot’s Defense is nearly identical DPS compared to sword auto. I only use it when projectile defenses are down.
