Core Mechanics
Damage
Red Sermon makes
Zeal get the
Death or Glory upgrade for free, this increases damage massively at the cost of 10% Maximum Life per Cast. In order to counteract this downside we must use
Undying Aspect and get Life on Hit on top of using Fortify, which heals us passively.
Resolve Damage Bonus Fortress and
Sentinel make it very enticing to stack Maximum Resolve for damage, which we are already doing because of
Aspect of Glynn's Anvil.
In order to have high uptime on
Fortress, we use
Holy Light Aura,
Fanaticism Aura and
Defiance Aura with
Resplendence to lower our Cooldowns every time we cast them.
Defenses
Aspect of Glynn's Anvil makes it so we become Immortal by stacking Maximum Resolve.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I Generate Resolve?
Aspect of Dominance generates 2 every time we CC an enemy.
Fortress generates 30+ Resolve per second.
Attack Speed Breakpoints
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.
For that reason, it is important to reach the Attack Speed Breakpoint of a frame.
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.
