Control: Skill Descriptions, Tripods, Gems and Runes

As Control Icon Control can only use the skills from Flurry stance there's a limited pool of skills to choose from. Still, you'll have a selection that provides valuable Synergy, Stagger and Weak Point damage. Glaivier's tripods are important but with your DPS % being more evenly distributed across skills; you should prioritize getting them all leveled rather than just a select few. Cooldown gems and tripods are highly valued to make your rotations feel better, having micro-downtime between skills.

Shackling Blue Dragon is your most valuable button, providing 18% Critical Rate synergy. It also deals Weak Point damage.
Half Moon Slash contributes the highest damage in your kit. It's multi-hit property makes it the go-to for proccing Judgment / Conviction.
Raging Dragon Slash is your third highest DPS skill, providing decent stagger as well. With limited rune options, it's the main choice for Judgment procs.
Chain Slash is your second highest DPS skill. Also being multi-hit, it's another option for proccing Judgment / Conviction.
Stampeding Slash rounds out your top four DPS skills. Like the others it has multi-hit but typically runs Galewind due to the lengthy animation.
Wheel of Blades as one of your optional skills is recommended for its good stagger and damage.
Windsplitter relies on Crits to really deal a lot of damage due to Down Strike.
Flash Kick is a good mobility tool that helps with Bleed uptime.
Thorn Jab is your counter skill and is good to upkeep Adrenaline given it's low cooldown.
