ONE BAR HEAVY ATTACK SOLO BUILD

• Ulfsild's Contingency (Shock, Lingering Torment, Force) - your source of crucial Empower buff, which increases damage done by Heavy Attack by 70%. Since Ulfsild's Contingency is a Mages Guild skill, it will trigger the Might of the Guild passive, which grants you Empower for 10 seconds. It also deals decent damage in an AoE and grants you Minor Force buff, increasing your Critical Damage by 10%. Ulfsild's Contingency is delayed until the next skill cast but whenever it's needed you can activate it early by bashing your enemy. If you cast this ability as you're finishing your Heavy Attack, the Empower you gain from it will start working just in time to boost the final tick of that Heavy Attack you just finished
• Grave Lord’s Sacrifice - this ability will provide a 15% bonus to the channeled part of your Heavy Attack and trigger Death Knell and Dismember passives
• Hurricane - your source of Major Resolve which is a crucial defensive buff. It also deals decent damage and grants Weapon and Spell Damage through the Expert Mage passive.
• Elemental Blockade - a 15 second groud DoT. Concussed enemies standing inside of your Lightning Elemental Blockade will get debuffed with Off Balance which causes them to take 70% more damage from Heavy Attacks. Off Balance lasts 7 seconds and then the enemy receives 15 seconds of Off Balance immunity
• Elemental Susceptibility - an ability which debuffs the enemy with Major Breach for 30 seconds, reducing their armor by 5948. It also procs Burning, Concussed and Chilled status effects every 7.5 seconds, which deal decent damage. Concussed is also required to proc Off Balance with your Elemental Blockade and it inherently provides 4 seconds of Minor Vulnerability when it procs, increasing enemies' damage taken by 5%. Chilled inherently provides 4 seconds of Minor Maim which reduces enemies' damage done by 5%.
• Soul Harvest - a cheap ultimate that increases target's damage taken from you by 20%. Having it slotted will also cause you to regain 10 Ultimate whenever you deal a final blow against an enemy.
• Concealed Weapon - This skill will passively grant you Minor Expedition while slotted on your backbar, which is a buff you're already getting from Hurricane, but Concealed Weapon can help fill the gaps when Hurricane runs out. It's mostly irrelevant but also free.

All skills of the base setup are crucial so slotting situational skills will always come with a massive trade-off. The skill that has to be replaced if you need situational skills is Hurricane. It means you'll be losing a very important Major Resolve buff, but it's the only way as removing any of the other skills makes the damage of this build fall apart.

• Resolving Vigor - a burst heal which you'll need in fights with invulnerability phases where you can't heal with Ring of the Pale Order, Reaving Blows or Critical Surge
• Ulfsild's Contingency (Shock, Gladiator's Tenacity, Force) - a different combination which uses Gladiator's Tenacity script instead of Lingering Torment, which trades the DoT for an 8% damage reduction. Use it in more difficult fights.
• Silver Leash - a chain ability that you can slot in trash packs to stack enemies and get through them faster
• Precognition - an ultimate that breaks you out of some otherwise unavoidable stuns, you'll need it to get around some mechanics which are otherwise impossible or very difficult to solo, like for example Inferno's Hold in Zaan the Scalecaller fight. Whenever you have to slot this Ultimate you can also backbar Soul Harvest so you can still benefit from its passive part which grants you Ultimate when killing enemies
• Ball of Lightning - an ability that teleports you forward. Use it in fights where you need more mobility or in fights where this teleport allows you to invalidate some mechanic

Priority List

I don't use a static rotation so this is just a list of priorities. Simply recast abilities when they run out and follow this list of priorities when there are multiple things to refresh

• 1. Ulfsild's Contingency if you have no Empower or it has less than 2 seconds remaining
• 2. Elemental Susceptibility
• 3. Elemental Blockade if Off Balance is ready
• 7. Grave Lord’s Sacrifice (you can recast this one when it's at 4 seconds remaining)
• 5. Hurricane
• 4. Soul Harvest
• 6. Elemental Blockade if Off Balance is on cooldown
• 8. Ulfsild's Contingency

Pre-buff
