Important Notes
- Above all else, do not
Overheat ! It will disturb your rotation and make you lose a lot of DPS. - Finish your
Auto-attack chain asGleam Saber will give you a 3-second cooldown reduction onRefraction Cutter - Manage your
Rifle Turret as it can be easily overlooked, pick it up before tank will move the boss and resummon it on new location - Be mindful that
Engage Photon Forge will cancel your weapon skill cast

Alternatives
Utility Skills
Throw Mine is a good alternative toRifle Turret for Burst damage thanks to your toolbelt skillMine Field and the Mine itself which also provides a bit of extra CC and Boon strip. It’s especially good when there is downtime to cast it like at Adina.- Take
Personal Battering Ram if your group is lacking a lot of CC you want to be using this instead ofRifle Turret . - Swap
Hard Light Arena for the toolbelt skillPrismatic Singularity if you need pulls, for example on Slothasor, Trio, or Xera.
Notes
Healing Turret can be used to for group healing and condition cleanse (for example after Soul Split on Dhuum)Crystal Configuration: Zephyr is useful to giveSuperspeed (for example while escorting Glenna or speeding up Desmina during River of Souls)
