Cooldowns
Touch of Death should be used as often as possible throughout the fight, essentially on cooldown. Don’t place this on targets that will die within 8 seconds as it will waste this ability
Storm, Earth, and Fire should be used as often as possible, while attempting to stack it with other periods of increased damage done. However make sure you always have at least one of its charges on cooldown
Invoke Xuen, the White Tiger is a very straightforward talent. It summons a strong guardian on a two minutes cooldown
