Rotation
(rotation is very important for this build, it can seem tricky at first but over a short time become easier and more second nature)
Buff Rotation: First we buff up before the fight. Begin on the back bar and cast Summoner’s Armor, it gives our resistance buff. Deaden Pain and Resistant Flesh for our protection and heals. Then to begin our damage buffs with Race Against Time and lastly Proximity Detonation. Move to damage rotation before swapping bars.
Damage Rotation: Before swapping bars the fight has already started and we are fully buffed and targets are chosen. Cast Pestilent Colossus to pull in the targets close. This is also our main damage ultimate. After casting colossus swap bars quickly (this is a one second motion so be fast) begin follow up damage rotation on our front bar. Blighted Blastbones and Whirling Blades to finish the fight.
Healing: Our only heals come from our buffs Resistant Flesh and Deaden Pain.

Champion Points
Because everyone who is viewing this guide is at a different Champion Point level I will only be putting up the champion points I chose at the level I was at the time of making this guide, which is around 1075. Remember that Champion Point soft cap is around 1800 but you can easily achieve high value kills with low cp.
