We start out with Holy Bolt and it's first upgrade to apply Judgement to enemies. Blessed Shield with the Enhanced Blessed Shield then consumes the Judgement to deal increased damage. We keep a steady rotation.

In Season 11 the Divine Gifts do not offer any player power increase. Instead they make some activities more challenging and increase their rewards in different ways. As there are only two choices per slot, we focus on maximizing the defensive bonuses.

How it Works

It's important to run Elixirs and Incenses at all times. Not only because they increase your Experience gain but also because they provide very strong combat boosts.

For Elixirs you will use Elixir of Advantage II to increase our Attack Speed.

For Incenses you will use Spiral Morning for All Stats , Song of the Mountain for Armor and Soothing Spices for All Resistances and more Armor.
