Build

Gear

Full Viper's, swapping in Ritualist's until you can upkeep 100%  Quickness. I find this is usually around 40–42%  Boon Duration for me. — Superior Rune of Tormenting (x6)

Mainhand weapon: Pistol — Superior Sigil of Torment

Offhand weapon: Focus (easy mode), Dagger (better but harder, refer to Snow Crows) — Superior Sigil of Bursting

Should match the Snow Crows Condition Quickness Harbinger guide.

Should be able to hit at least 20k dps on golem with full quickness uptime without food/util.

TLDR

• Elixirs
• Plaguelands if up, Blood is Power
• Go into Shroud, Shroud loop (4, 3, 2, …, 2, 3, 4), leave Shroud
• Pistol loop (2, 3, 4, …, 4)
• repeat

Notes

Your  Quickness sources are:

•  Deathly Haste pulses  Quickness to allies near you while you're in   Harbinger Shroud
•   Elixir of Anguish gives  Quickness to you, and thanks to  Twisted Medicine, allies in the splash radius

 Defiance Break:

• Pistol 3:   Vile Blast (100)
• Shroud 4:   Voracious Arc (100)
• Shroud 5:   Vital Draw (300)
•   Spectral Grasp (150–750+)
•   Summon Flesh Golem →   Charge (432)

Try to have your elixirs splash both the squad (including you!) and the boss whenever possible. Prefer hitting allies over the boss if you have to choose one.

 Plague Sending causes your first attack in   Harbinger Shroud to transfer 2 conditions. We take advantage of this by using   Blood Is Power and   Plaguelands (if available) before going into shroud.
