Tactical Information

Epic Conclusion is an extremely powerful Lightning damage ability. It should thus be only used near max attunement for maximum damage. Its usage differs slightly between specializations:

Solitary Thunder: This skill should be used as soon as it becomes available and the Closing Remarks effect is active on the Rune-keeper.
Cleansing Flame: This skill can be used in this specialization if Closing Remarks is traited. Unlike Yellow line, this skill is a lower priority. It should only be used about 5s before Smouldering Wrath comes off cooldown, at near max battle attunement, and Closing Remarks active. This ensures that Aftershock will be active for when Smouldering Wrath becomes available.
