Active Skills Explantion

Shield Strike (Piercing Attack), Provoking Roar (with the help from Spectrum of Agony), Annihilating Slash, A Shot at Victory (Annihilation Blade), Curse Explosion, and Corrupted Magic Circle (Decaying Touch) all deal area damage that's useful for clearing waves and are the build's primary damage skills.

Touch of Despair's Range ▲ skill specialization allows the skill to affect two (2) more targets around the initial target. It also amplifies Curse Explosion's damage.

Counter Barrier, Stalwart Bastion, Swift Healing, Blessed Barrier, and Invincile Wall all provide durability and survivability while clearing waves or fighting bosses.

Focus on leveling up Shield Strike, Touch of Despair, and Swift Healing first since other skills will revolve around them, then the rest can be prioritized based on preference.

Passive Skills Explanation

Resilient Mind, Aegis Shield, and Impenetrable provide durability and survivability, especially when clearing waves.

Spectrum of Agony indirectly turns Provoking Roar into a damage skill since it deals damage to enemies inflicted with Provoke.

Devotion and Emptiness, Wraith's Beckon, Noble Revival, and Selfless Soul all improve healing, and curse-inflicting skills.

Focus on leveling up Resilient Mind, Spectrum of Agony, Impenetrable, Devotion and Emptiness first since most skills can benefit from them.

How to Play Sword and Shield / Wand Build
Mob Clearing Skill Rotation Single Target Burst/Boss Fight Skill Rotation Survivability Skill Rotation

Note: If the skills icons are confusing, some of the skill icons indicated here are using their specialized variants.

Mob Clearing Skill Rotation

▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ x2

This acts as the build's main mob clearing or farming combo. Counter Barrier will give a bit of durability via Aegis Shield and perform counterattacks when evading attacks, using Shield Block, or blocking with a Defensive skill against attackers. Provoking Roar will deal the initial burst damage via Spectrum of Agony.

Touch of Despair and Corrupted Magic Circle will inflict enemies with Weaken: Curse. Curse Explosion will deal another burst damage and improve the effects of Touch of Despair and Corrupted Magic Circle.

A Shot at Victory's Annihilation Blade skill specialization will deal one more burst damage and increase the damage of all Sword skills. Annihilating Slash will finish off targets.

Single Target Burst/Boss Fight Skill Rotation

▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ x2

This is very simillar to the Mob Clearing Skill Rotation but has a few tweaks in skills and skill specialization. Counter Barrier will give a bit of durability via Aegis Shield and perform counterattacks when evading attacks, using Shield Block, or blocking with a Defensive skill against attackers.

Touch of Despair and Corrupted Magic Circle will inflict enemies with Weaken: Curse. Curse Explosion will deal the initial burst damage and improve the effects of Touch of Despair and Corrupted Magic Circle.

A Shot at Victory will deal another burst damage and increase the damage of all Sword skills. Shield Strike (Piercing Attack) and Annihilating Slash will deal the final damage. The specialization points spent on A Shot of Victory's Annihilation Blade can be transferred to other skills instead.

Survivability Skill Rotation

▶ ▶ ▶

This is the build's skill rotation for surviving battles. Counter Barrier and Blessed Barrier provides durability via increased Defenses while Invincile Wall grants a shield. Spamming Swift Healing after using Blessed Barrier increases the skill's healing.
