Help with rotation skill - Mosaic

Assassin
1

Hello,

I’m farming gul runes to make two Mosaic and i read guides but i’m totally confused with the system of charge and how to use them especially with tiger strikes

Can someone explains me the rotation of skills i have to use and how much charges use (i imagine that three are better than two but i’m not sure) and the best way to have charges

Thanks

I don’t feel like there really is a best rotation; but I feel like it’d be something in this order:

  • Phoenix strike lvl 2 with a lightning sunder (do it first because it’s the most precise one you need to stack and you don’t want to mess it up)
  • Blades of Ice because it makes the spec super safe by freezing everything when at lvl 3 (use cold sunder so you can freeze cold immunes)
  • Claws of Thunder lvl 3 for extra dps and making good use of the lightning sunder
  • cobra strike to give an extra layer of protection
  • tiger strike once all others are up, to buff cobra strikes potential

But really; once you get Phoenix strike going, all the others are super easy to stack and just kinda gravy for the spec. And you can just spam the charge skill for a moment without considering charge count like you have to with Phoenix strike.

Also, don’t use Fist of Fire at all because it makes it so you can’t steal life or mana

Ok so 2 PS, 3 Blades of ice, 3 Claws, 3 cobra strike, 3 tiger strike and then, i spam dragon talon to use the charges

I don’t have sunder charm so what about using fist of fire level 20-25 to avoid double immunity cold/light? it is not sufficient to keep enough leech?

Thanks :slight_smile:

Yeap, you got it.

You could use a low level version of FoF, as you’re pointing out, it doesn’t fully convert all physical to fire until you hit lvl33+ with it.

also putting insight+cure helm, on a Prayer merc will give you x3 prayer healing. This can really help keep you alive, and makes using FoF a little easier. End game goal should be infinity, but that takes time

And tiger strike+dragon talon should give you some pretty solid physical damage, it’s not aoe but it should be enough to burn through light+cold immune monsters, until you get your hands on some sunder charms, if you want to avoid using FoF all together

Yes, i think to use safety combo as PS2, Blades of ice, 3 Claws, 3 cobra strike, 3 tiger strike. I assume that physical damage may be able (i have to test) to kill cold/light immune.

What about PS3 (to freeze ennemies) instead of PS2? The frost damage is much lower than light?

Last question, do i have to invest points on the finishing move? If i put points in skill dragon, it increases the number of kick and the risk is to be stuck until the end of the animation

Thanks :slight_smile:

PS3 is the worst out of all of them, its dmg is very poor compared to the others, I don’t think it’s worth using for freeze.

PS2 is a ton of damage and it covers the entire screen, and PS1 can be great for burning bosses by stacking tons of meteors.

No you don’t need to invest points in it, as you get more and more +martial art, assassin, and all skills you stack, it gets to a high enough kicks per second. Getting animation locked definitely sucks
