  2. 2Ruinous Blow
  3. 3Rage Burst

During combat

Check from the top. Use the first available skill that fits the situation.

  1. 1Overhead Slam
  2. 2Upward Strike
  3. 3Rending Blow

Chain skills & key bindings

Enable Overhead Slam's chain and no-cooldown specialty. Rending Blow must restore MP on critical hits. Match the effect text, not just its colour. [2: 57–3: 56]

When should the combo change?

Editorial adaptation of 0: 22 and 5: 17. The video does not establish the full bar, region, every Stigma order or delays. Constant buff uptime and maximum DPS are not guaranteed.

Additional rotation notes

Maintain Prepare for Battle through Ruinous Blow. Rage Burst opens a 10-second Overhead Slam window; use its chain follow-up. Fall back to Rending Blow outside that window. Lunge Stance supports cooldown recovery; reconnect after dodging. The opener below is an editorial ordering, not an exact copy of the author's bar. [0: 22, 5: 17]
