How to Play the Build: Skills and Rotation
The Seeker of the Light starter build is a natural continuation of the
leveling and fresh 70 build, as the set itself augments the powers of
Blessed Hammer. Your main resource tool remains
Provoke, trading
turns with
Gabriel's Vambraces for Wrath management in AoE and single
target situations, respectively. With resources taken care of, you are free to
swap away
Unstoppable Force for the additional damage of
Critical
(useful early on with subpar gear), or to
Laws of Hope
Wings of Angels to
speed yourself up. You will be trading the generic leveling choices like
Steed Charge and
Condemn for skills that better synergize with
your set:
Falling Sword
Rapid Descent for mobility and protection, and
Judgment
Debilitate for crowd control and debuffing. Note that as soon
as you obtain a
Sacred Harness, you should swap the latter's rune to the
damage-oriented
Resolved. The ubiquitous
Akarat's Champion remains
in the build, as well as all the leveling passives (of course, with an adjustment
to
Fervor as soon as you obtain
Johanna's Argument).
