Playstyle Overview
Elarion is a ranged DPS who utilizes powerful volleys and barrages to deal massive damage. He revolves around a builder / spender rotation with Focus as his resource. Focus is displayed as a bar below your character and you’ll use this to cast his array of abilities.
Depending on what build you’re running, your priority changes. Your goal is essentially to aim to get everything on cooldown.
Rotation
Here’s what your rotational priority should look like early on while we are using a Highwind Arrow build.
Single Target:
- Skystrider's Grace
- Event Horizon
- Skystrider's Supremacy (can be cast while channeling)
- Lunarlight Mark
- Starfall Volley
- Highwind Arrow
- Heartseeker Barrage
- Celestial Shot (Celestial Impetus procs only)
- Empowered Multishot
- Focused Shot
AoE (5+ Targets):
- Skystrider's Grace
- Event Horizon
- Skystrider's Supremacy (can be cast while channeling)
- Lunarlight Mark
- Starfall Volley
- Empowered Multishot
- Highwind Arrow
- Multishot
- Celestial Shot (Celestial Impetus procs only)
- Heartseeker Barrage
- Focused Shot
Heartseeker Barrage Build
This priority changes slightly later on once we have swapped to a Heartseeker Barrage focused build and away from the Highwind Arrow talents. Swap Heartseeker Barrage and Highwind Arrow in the priority list, as well as make sure to spend your Celestial Shot procs to reset Heartseeker Barrage before Highwind Arrow.
Ultimate Ability
Elarion’s Ultimate: Event Horizon essentially allows us to Starfall Volley more often. It makes it so Highwind Arrow reduces the cooldown of Heartseeker Barrage, and every hit from barrage reduces the cooldown of Starfall Volley. On top of that you gain 30% haste, cooldown reduction based on your haste, and all your focus costs reduced by 50% for the duration. It’s more powerful on AoE than it is single target and you’ll want to avoid missing uses of this throughout the course of a dungeon.
Utility
Outside of his damaging abilities Elarion has Pathfinder's Resillience as his personal defensive, and Grappling Arrow which is a large AoE mass grip within a targeted area. It also reduces enemies movement speed by 65% for 8 seconds. It’s extremely useful for grouping stubborn mobs or simply interrupting casting mobs in an AoE.
Tips
One of the most basic, but important things you can do in Fellowship is mark specific targets or locations. In the input settings you will notice you have the ability to keybind “Mark Unit” and “Mark Location”. These can be exceptionally useful for designating targets to kill or important stack points on bosses.
Buffs and Debuffs
Buffs and Debuffs in Fellowship are extremely important, but unfortunately the base UI doesn’t place the display of these in a great location. As a result, I’d recommend moving them closer to the middle of your screen using the “EDIT HUD” feature in the game menu.
