Skill Bar

Skill 1:

• Some Wrath Lightning Attack to keep Charged Armor buff (From the Thundercharged set) going. I was using Sparkstrike (Col 1) at first, but then shifted to Blade Overloaded (Col 7) for the Attack Speed buff it provides, but it made the stacking speed for Charged Armor slower.

Skill 2:

• Some Conviction Fire Attack to proc Flare, with some cooldown lower than its duration. Pyre (Col 4) is great to keep combos going, but now I use either Molten Fragmentations (Col 2) for weakened debuff, or Shooting Stars (Col 7) for stun. I guess I’ll use Scorch (Col 2) since cooldown from Molten Fragmentations is too low.

Skill 3:

• Healing Touch (Col 1) from Redemption to give some extra healing, can be kept almost all the time. Using Blinding Light can help it stun enemies.

Skill 4:

• Wrath Aura (Haste or Flurry), can be included in the skill rotation.

Skill 5/6:

• Prayer and Salvation auras, no need to activate them.

• Set everything to the same button. If you put a skill with cooldown as skill 1, you don’t even need to let the button go.
