Telos: Necromancy

Introduction

This guide assumes very strong understanding of everything found in #telos-basic and #Stuns & Mechanics Overview. The rotations listed below are ideally used at 1000%+ enrage. However, they will generally work at a lower enrage as well, and it is encouraged to learn these rotations as early as possible to build good habits and muscle memory. The equilibriumaura safe push setup is slower but it will allow for a safer experience whilst climbing enrage, while the equilibriumaura fast 2449 farming setup may be used for fast kills while farming this encounter.

Telos earnings
An average kill at 2449% enrage is worth coins 7,665,313 in uniques. This assumes an estimated orb price of coins 46,113,991. Grandmaster players can get up to 18.7 kph, earning coins 143,341,360/hr.

⬥ Equip your clearheaded 4 clearheaded and turtling turtling4 switch.

anticlearheaded used here requires taking the fonts slow, or it won't be off cd for font 2.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Alternatively, use freedom before volleyofsouls in font 1.

⬥ ( soulsap ) in font 1 is optional, and should only be needed if you're at 4/5 stacks due to phasing p2/3 faster.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• touchofdeath in font 1 is also optional, and may be skipped if needed. fingerofdeath will cost 20% adrenaline which can be improvised around.

⬥ Use adrenrenewal at the end of font 3 if needed, to reach 100% adrenaline for p4 start.
