The Power Sword Holosmith DPS rotation guide!

EXTRA USEFUL INFORMATION ON THE BUILD:
- If you lose track of the rotation, always keep in mind to NEVER overheat (never reach 150 Heat) and to always combo Sword 2 + Grenade 2 until you're at about 85 Heat then just Engage Photon Forge again and you'll be fine.
- Ideally you would always use as many skills as possible in Photon Forge and always use Corona Burst (Skills 3) right before leaving it, so to deal extra damage with those skills and reach 150 Heat without overheating and also have an easier time to hit your Sword 2 above 100 Heat which will make it shoot more blades and therefore deal even more damage.
- Using Blade Burst inside of an enemy's hitbox while he's surrounded by more enemies, will make Blade Burst hit multiple times, up to 5 total.
- Always Deactivate Photon Forge manually and NOT by entering a Kit otherwise your Solar Focusing Lens trait will not activate.
- You can play with Shield off-hand instead of Pistol, to gain extra CC at a very minor DPS loss. To make the rotation smoother simply use Grenade 4 instead of Pistol 4 before Engaging Photon Forge.
- You can replace Rifle Turret with Throw Mine, if on a boss with a medium/hitbox or somewhere you can pre-cast the mines like Keep Construct burst phases. Use the tool belt skill for lots of damage and the actual utility either as cc or as pre-cast during downtime.
- Don't constantly click your autoattack since this will make it cast slower, ideally press it once at the start of the chain and then let the other 2 cast by themselves.
- Your Rifle Turret attacks faster and applies vulnerability the first 10 seconds after it's been placed, during boss split phases or downtime of any kind, make sure to pick it up and place it again to deal more dps.
- If you lack Quickness, Use Sword 3 every time you leave and enter Photon Forge.
- If you're unable to use sword autoattacks in melee range, use your Grenade skils instead.
