- 5Keen Strike
Chain skills & key bindings
Enable Upward Strike after Overhead Slam. Leaping Slam and Rush Strike can share a key (author uses F). Rush Strike requires a dodge first. [Grobs 4: 31, 6: 03–7: 10]
When should the combo change?
Author's 11: 49 loop: Rage Burst, available Overhead Slam, Rending Blow; Keen Strike restores MP. Opener is an editorial transfer of the 19: 03 demonstration; time the first block for each boss. This is a manual play sequence; no millisecond delays are given.
Additional rotation notes
Maintain Lunge Stance and Zikel's Blessing. Close distance and apply Ruinous Blow. Prioritize Rage Burst, available Overhead Slam with Upward Strike, then Rending Blow. Keen Strike restores MP. Overhead Slam still has a cooldown. Time Focused Block to the boss's first attack. [Grobs 7: 29, 11: 49, 19: 03]
