The main focus here is to apply attacks as Fast as Possible so that Spirit Jaguar Rake will activate as often as possible causing all Rake Instances to Hit Twice and for Increased Damage.

The Rod of Kepeleke allows us to Critical Strike on demand as long as we have full resource whilst allowing us to hit much harder.

Once we get to the later versions, we drop the Rod of Kepeleke in favour of scaling without it to allow us to use the Multitude Talisman Set and the Harmony of Ebewaka with Heir of Perdition combination for bigger damage.

The following steps are the recommended Build Rotation for skill usage:

How much Resource Generation Do I need?

For the Starter and Endgame Variants we use the Rod of Kepeleke / Rod of Kepeleke and the Ring of the Midnight Sun to simplify the attack loop until we can fully move off these items towards a higher damage version.

With the reduction of Resource Generation Sources across the board it has now become more difficult to enable you to activate the Rod of Kepeleke on Every Single Hit which is where our Big Damage comes from.

The Easiest way to achieve this is to use the Ring of the Midnight Sun which escaped the Resource Source Nerfs and can still Restore 50% Resource Spent in the Last 2 Seconds on a Critical Strike. The pairs excellently with the Rod of Kepeleke because this will spend 100% Resource when at Maximum Resource to guarantee a Critical Strike.

This means that we need to achieve 100% Resource Generation on the build along with a Maximum Rolled Ring of the Midnight Sun at 50% to enable a 100% Activation Rate when attacking with the Rod of Kepeleke.

For the later versions we opt not to use the Ring of the Midnight Sun in favour of More Damage from Legendary Aspects and we try to make up the difference through Tempers and Glyphs.

You can obtain the Resource Generation required from various sources including:

• • Intelligence
  • Resource Generation Tempers
  • Lucky Hit: Resource Tempers
  • Vigor Generation Ravager
  • Vigor Generation Toxic Skin
  • Vigor Generation Scourge
  • Fitness

How Much Attack Speed Do I Need?

Aim for 100% Attack Speed on Equipment, Aspects, Paragon, Mercenaries, Ferocity.

You can only attain Attack Speed in Attack Speed Bucket 2 via Cast Speed since the expansion so we are now limited to 100% Attack Speed unless using the Rezoka's Rage Talisman Set or Cast Speed Rake.
