Talent Cheatsheet
The Restless Cabal
Tips
During
Embrace of the Void, you will not be able to receive
any healing. You should save
Touch of Karma for it, if you can afford to.
Keep
Transcendence up next to the Void Stone relic to be able to
efficiently move back to it during
Umbral Shell casts. This will
allow you to take down the shield quickly.
Cooldown usage can be optimized with slight delays in this fight.
Touch of Death does not benefit from it, however, and you should use it on
cooldown. Delays are unlikely to gain anything and will potentially lose you
a cast.
On the other hand, wait for 45 seconds to use
Invoke Xuen, the White Tiger
and then proceed to use it on cooldown. This should grant you maximum damage
increase stacks for every cast. Use your two stacks of
Storm, Earth, and Fire to line up one cast of it with each Xuen timing.
Uu'nat, Harbinger of the Void
Tips
If your strategy involves killing several waves of minions,
Hit Combo can outshine
Invoke Xuen, the White Tiger; however,
Xuen is still the go to for boss damage.
Ring of Peace can be used to interrupt the
Primordial Mindbender casts.
Keep
Transcendence up near the middle of the room to be able to
quickly reposition from abilities such as
Piercing Gaze of N'Zoth,
allowing you to dodge all of its damage.
