Vale Guardian: Builds – DPS Herald

This build is not yet finished. It may contain incomplete or wrong information.

The Herald will always be in melee range of the Vale Guardian and will share various boons while being in the Legendary Dragon Stance. While being in this stance, you use various facets to share might and fury, and try to extend the boon duration by using Facet of Nature. When your energy runs out, swap to your other stance and use whatever is necessary to get as much DPS as possible.

When fast CC is required, you swap to staff and use skill #5, or consume your Facet of Chaos. Your axe skill #5 can also CC if needed.

During the split phases, the Heralds split up and go to the Green Guardian and the Blue Guardian.
