Cross-Class Skills: as of June 16th wont be needed lol
Convalescence - Increases HP recovery from healing magic by 20%
Provoke - Make you the top priority on the aggro metter basically if you lose aggro from the boss you can get it back real quick
but follow through with your attacks
Awareness - Nullifies chance of suffering crit damage
Flash Optional - Increases aggro to all nearby enemies
Foresight - Increases defense by 20%
Bloodbath - Converts 25% of physical damage dealt into HP
These are abilities that i use in my rotation but didnt mention in the rotation portion of the video and here's why the following
abilities are to use when you feel its the right time to activate.
- Soul Survivor: It marks the target with a status called "Another Victim", which when that target dies you shall get 20%
of your maximum HP and MP back warning "Another Victim last for 15sec use when monster is close to death
- Plunge: Launches you forward at you enemey doing a jumping attack of 200 potency
- Living Dead: When your HP hits 0 instead of being KO you get this status called "Walking Dead" which will put you at 1hp
and will not lower, but be warned that both Living Dead and Walking Dead have a 10sec duration and if your
hp is not back to 100% within those 10sec you will be ko
- Awareness: Nullifies chance of suffering crit damage
- Bloodbath: Converts 25% of physical damage dealt into HP
- Low Blow: Stuns and gives you a 30% chance that next parry will reset the recast timer instant cast basically
Tank DPS Stance:
To obtain this stance simply trigger Darkside and Grit at the same time, but do realize that while under both stances
you will not be able to use certain moves that you would be able to use while under Darkside alone, for example the move
"Blood Weapon" which reduces weaponskill, spell and auto-attack cast time and recast time by 10% as well as converting physical
damage delt into MP and reducing weapon skill TP cost. Which in turn is a awesome weaponskill to pop when you are DPSing.
Although i will say that there are times where if you time it right and have the highest aggro meter where you know the team
DPS cant steal it from you, you can drop Grit if your MP is super low and pop Blood Weapon as i was explaining before and use
it to get your MP back up which should take about 4-5 hits once that MP back up pop grit on and continue that fight.
There are other ways to increase your MP while still having Grit on and Darkside which i will explain in a few because its apart
of my rotation, but befoore i jump into the rotation itself i will inform you of the weaponskills i choose, with a breif explaination
if needed. As well as where place it on my hot bar please note that hot bar setup may differ between the PS4 and PC just try to
set it up as close as possible and mind you that i do flip back and forth between my hotbars which can make it confusing but just
try the best you can to set it up in a easy way for you to use it.
