Power Holosmith

The Power Holosmith is a flexible build that can do well in a variety of different group compositions. It offers:

• High burst and good sustained damage
• Good crowd control
• Good utility through Vulnerability and access to some Blinded, Crippled and Immobile
• The ability to boonstrip with Detonate Mine Field when running Throw Mine
• An incredible skill set for various skips in Tier 4 fractals due to access to Stealth, as well as Superspeed and a targeted leap with Jump Shot
• Some self-generation of Might, Quickness and Fury

The build benefits from slaying potions such as Powerful Potion of Slaying Scarlet's Armies and Superior Sigil of Impact .

The main thing the build lacks compared to other Power DPS classes is a unique party buff for Power compositions like Power Dragonhunter‘s Bane Signet share.

There are 3 different versions of Power Holosmith, namely Sword ECSU, Sword PBM, and Rifle PBM. They are named after:

• The weapon they are holding, Sword+Shield vs Rifle.
• The Grandmaster Holosmith Trait they use, Enhanced Capacity Storage Unit (ECSU) vs Photonic Blasting Module (PBM).

This guide will focus mainly on the Sword ECSU variant since it is the most flexible of the 3.

Rotation Explanation

• The idea of the opening is to stack as many damage modifiers as possible with your biggest skills. By entering Forge at the start, you will trigger Solar Focusing Lens . Due to being in Forge, you will also gain the extra damage from Laser's Edge . Grenade Barrage will help with stacking Explosive Temper .
• You want to always use your big damaging skills like Laser Disk and Prime Light Beam in Forge when possible. Only use them outside of Forge if the boss will die/phase before you can go back into Forge to use them there.
• In Forge, your high damage weapon skills are Corona Burst and Photon Blitz , as well as auto-attack chains. Try to not interrupt your Forge auto-attack chain. Your goal is to Deactivate Photon Forge at exactly 149 Heat. This can be achieved by using auto-attack chains until around 140 Heat (as seen in step 8), then using Corona Burst and Deactivate Photon Forge . Corona Burst will keep building up some Heat, however you cannot Holoforge Overheated if you already left Forge directly after its cast.
• Out of Forge, your basic rotation can be seen in steps 15-17. The main goal is to use Refraction Cutter above 100 Heat 3 times. If you are slow, you might want to skip some extra skills like Poison Grenade and Freeze Grenade and prioritize Engage Photon Forge at 90 Heat.

Extra notes:

• Use Surprise Shot off cooldown.
• Use Blade Burst off-cooldown. This skill can be used inside the hitbox when multiple enemies are around to hit the boss multiple times. If this can be done, for example on Ensolyss, you can delay this skill for that.
• Flash Grenade can be used to mitigate damage in add heavy fights.
• When running off-hand Pistol, Blowtorch is used instead of Freeze Grenade in step 20.
• When running off-hand Pistol, Glue Shot can help in controlling the movement of enemies without break bar.
• Try to manage your Heat in split phases. Ideally, you always want to be back at 90 Heat when starting to burst into a new phase.
• Poison Grenade will not always be up at the same step as its cooldown is higher than the duration of your loop. The general idea of using 2 extra damaging skills while cooling down still applies.
