3. Damage Cycle and Additional Explanation
Damage cycle based on level 6 Annihilation/Flame gems (for reference):
- Sword of Revelation (increased movement speed, grants Knight of Light synergy) -> Rest's Offering -> Rest's Rain -> Genesis -> Insight Slash -> Decree's Sanctuary -> Revelation's Execution -> Decree's Onslaught -> Decree's Whisper -> Fill Identity Gauge and use X Light of the End
When using Headhunter: Use Light of the End after using Sword of Revelation
Second cycle: Use Revelation when Genesis is on cooldown
It is okay to use Execution later in the Decree's Onslaught and Whisper cycle after Revelation's Execution
Rest's Offering and Rain, Decree's Onslaught and Whisper are grouped as a set, Insight Slash/Sword of Revelation are used in between
