Thankfully, Zephyrean Slash has double the cooldown reduction as compared to Focused Burst, so proper rotation use should ensure Combat Focus can apply singularity to every other Focused Burst or Force Sweep. Given that the cooldown of Focused Burst should be 6 GCDs after the cooldown reduction applied by the Zephyrean Slash passive, that means Force Exhaustion can apply Singularity to every other Focused Burst or Force Sweep.Ĭombat Focus has a 45 second cooldown that would normally be available every 18s as we need for the rotation. Force Exhaustion has a 18s cooldown that breaks down to 12 GCDs. The second key to the Focus Guardian rotation is how to balance use of Force Exhaustion and Combat Focus so every use of Force Sweep or Focused Burst is buffed by the Singularity passive and thus free to use. If this goal is not accomplished, energy management will become very difficult, key abilities will be delayed, and DPS will suffer significant reductions. When this is accomplished, no use of basic attacks is required to maintain energy. The optimal rotation depends on every use of Force Sweep or Focused Burst free. Per above, Combat Focus and Force Exhaustion grant Singularity, increasing the damage dealt by your next Force Sweep or Focused Burst by 15% and making your next Force Sweep or Focused Burst consume no Focus. The first key to the Focus Guardian rotation is understanding the Singularity passive ability. Riposte- Useful filler, this ability is pushed down one slot due to the need to proc Focus. Sundering Strike - Used here in place of Riposte in mini-cycle #1 since you didn’t open with Combat Focus, so will need to generate Focus here. Zealous Leap - Utilized here to proc Felling Blow so next Focused Burst is an auto-crit in next mini-cycle, procs Momentum to boost damage / reduce cost of Blade Storm.īlade Storm - Filler, Blade Storm is very cheap and deals increased damage due to Momentum proc from Zealous Leap.įorce Exhaustion - Used here to proc Singularity for next mini-cycle, by using it here we alternative Force Exhaustion > Combat Focus so each Focused Burst is buffed, also procs Focused Vision so next Concentrated Slice also consumes no Focus.įocused Burst - Similar to mini-cycle #1, ability is free, auto-crit, +15% dmg and procs Heightened Power.Ĭoncentrated Slice - Similar to mini-cycle #1, except Concentrated Slice is free here due to Force Exhaustion proccing Focused Vision. Force Leap - Gap closer, builds Focus, and procs Felling Blow making your first Focused Burst an automatic critical hitĬombat Focus OFF GCD - Builds Focus for rotation, procs Singularity to make Focused Burst free and deal 15% increased damage, will also regen 6 Focus over next 4 GCDsįocused Burst - Focused Burst should now be free, an automatic crit, and deal +15% damage, also procs Heightened Power to increase damage by 5% over next 6s / 4 GCDsĬoncentrated Slice - Top damage ability, now buffed by Focused Burst, applies Beat Down debuffĭispatch- If a utility makes your Execute ability available, it can be used here in opener, otherwise Riposte can be used here due to the extra Focus provided by Combat Focus.
