Guild Wars 2

As you said, one option could be target the bosses, simply autoattack, spam bounds and some vaults … but it gives no satisfaction and no max dps. Of course dying too much isn’t also a great alternative!

I was talking about single target dps rotation (open world, dungeons, fractals and so on). During pve mob rotations there is no problem because I simply do not care to break the defiance bar … some autoattack, some vaults, some bounds, some weaking charge … I just care to stay alive (in order of that sigil of stamina could be a great option, thanks for the idea).

Yes, some bosses (like unbound guardian) have a clear animation when they have defiance bar active but the most of them don’t (idk about raids because I didn’t run them before).

There is another problem I would underline:
if you cast “Weaking Charge” when the enemy boss cast a deadly spell (like champion Jade Armor) you have no time to finish your skill and dodge … and you die.

Some solutions for both problems could be, in some occasions, avoid the use of weaking charge replacing it with vault or swap to the D/D set.

To conlcude … it’s not a big deal (and everything turns around casting weaking charge to hit 3 times insted of 2), I wanted just hear your thoughts. Thank all of you for the replies!

One question for Jugglemonkey:
Do you have 2 staves? One with force + stamina and one with force + air sigils?
Currently I’m running only with the second one.

Hi guys,

I recently start wearing ascended staff and daredevil power build for PVE.
I have a doubt about the application of the following rotation I have read on “qtfy.eu”.

The rotation is:
01) Dodge
02) (if ready) Fist Flurry + Palm Strike
03) Weakening Charge
04) Auto attack chain
05) Weakening Charge
06) Staff Strike (auto attack chain #1)
07) Staff Bash (auto attack chain #2)
08) Dodge
09) Punishing Strikes (auto attack chain #3)
10) Repeat from step 2.

The goals are maximize damage with bounding dodger and staff master traits.
A good thing to know is that “Weakening Charge” is not only used to spend initiative points but, at the same time, to inflict a decent amount of damage. In order to make “Weaking Charge” hit 3 times (instead of only 2), I have to untarget the boss and aim the camera down from above my character.

Here comes the problem.

If I don’t have the enemy boss as my target I can’t know when use cc skills to break down the defiance bar! At the same time, target and untarget the enemy every time I have to use “Weakening Charge” seems to be very unfeasible!

How to solve the matter? What’s your opinion?

Sorry for my english.
Thank you

I have the same problem: right click mouse to rotate camera doesn’t respond properly. It’s very frustrating. Help us pls
