Section	Notes
General Stuff	This simple priority-based rotation is a basic   Vindicator variant that teaches you how to handle the Dodge mechanic on it. It uses only   Legendary Alliance Stance and 6 skills in total, so you can pair it with any other Legend you want or use it as a stepping stone for the more complex damage rotations. Dodge cancels other skills, so be careful to not interrupt other important skills. You will always heal based off your damage dealt via  Roiling Mists, making it a sturdy and self-sustainable choice. You can fill gaps in  Quickness uptime with   Scavenger Burst when necessary.  Reaver's Curse doubles the damage of your dodge, so try to use it prior to dodge! In case you want an emergency Dodge ready to use for content you don't know well enough, only use it when your endurance is close to being full.
Opener	For the opener, start in   Legendary Alliance Stance. Precast   Energy Meld and   Spear of Archemorus.   Spear of Archemorus deals damage with a ~3 second delay, allowing you to precast it without entering combat immediately. Then Dodge right after to make use of the buff from  Reaver's Curse and to benefit from  Forerunner of Death and  Leviathan Strength immediately. Use   Shackling Wave,   Deathstrike and   Chilling Isolation.
General Rotation	Use the following skills on cooldown, with a descending priority:   Spear of Archemorus   Energy Meld into   Death Drop to maintain  Forerunner of Death On top of those Dodges, always Dodge when your endurance is full to consistently benefit from  Leviathan Strength   Shackling Wave   Deathstrike   Chilling Isolation
CC Skills for Breakbar Damage	Reaver's Rage Depending on your secondary weapon: Staff:   Surge of the Mists - especially strong against larger hitboxes Hammer:   Drop the Hammer - gives range on demand Depending on your secondary legend:   Legendary Dwarf Stance:   Forced Engagement   Legendary Assassin Stance:   Jade Winds (expensive)
