Fluidity.Heartseeker to spend Resources and reset Rain of Arrows Cooldown.Rain of ArrowsConcealment for Unstoppable and to get back Energy.Rain of Arrows functions by resetting its cooldown constantly through Preparation. We use Heartseeker with Shard of Verathiel and Crown of Lucion for that purpose.
With Crown of Lucion fully Stacked and 
Elixir of Resourcefulness every Heartseeker spends 62 Energy, which means we want a total of 186 Maximum Energy to cast 3 Heartseeker in a row seemlessly. This is perfect to enable 
Precision. Concealment
Once we cast Rain of Arrows we need to get back our Energy. Concealment with Tibault's Will generates 140 and Skyhunter generates 60 for a total of 200, more than the 186 we need.
We use 
Ahu + Zan to Overpower for [x]50% more damage when it's up.
We use Zan + 
Qax to make use of the massive damage multiplier it provides.
We use Igni + Mot for 
Dark Shroud in the Mythic Variant.
It's important to run Elixirs and Incenses at all times. Not only because they increase our Experience gain but also because they provide very strong combat boosts.
For Elixirs, we will use Elixir of Resourcefulness for Resource Cost Reduction and Maximum Resource.
For Incenses, we will use 
Queen's Supreme for Dexterity, 
Reddamine Buzz for Maximum Life and 
Soothing Spices for All Resistances and Armor.
You can use THIS Sheet to calculate your Rain of Arrows Cooldown by making a Copy. We need the cooldown to be 10 seconds.
Because the game's server operates in frames (images), Skills can only be cast in a whole number of frames. This means, for example, that you can't cast a Skill in 10.2 frames. To extend this example further, that means that all Attack Speed values that lead to a cast time of 10.01 to 10.99 frames would mean you end up casting at 11 frames, effectively wasting all Attack Speed gains from 11 frames to 10.01.
In order to avoid wasting Attack Speed, you can calculate the Attack Speed Breakpoints for your skills using THIS SHEET.
You might be wondering how frames translate into actual Cast Speed. Because the server runs at 60 frames per second the way we translate frames into Cast Speed is with the formula: 60 / Frames = Casts per Second.
