General Notes

• All numbers are estimations and may be tweaked over time. Nothing should be wildly off though.
• Unless otherwise noted, all AOE damage is split evenly amongst targets (i.e., an AOE ability that does 30000 to one target, will do 15000 to two, etc.).
• "Equivalent" refers to the animation and not necessarily to the effect- though they're largely the same, just renamed. Anything that would have a dot attached in the player version (i.e., Aero, Thunder) does not in the Amaurotine edition (Circle of Clarity the exception). Defensive abilities seem to be the same in function, duration (and possibly cooldown). Unique abilities also seem to have some manner of cooldown/requirement for use, as you might expect (Venat can't spam Renew even if everyone's low on health if she just used it).
• Unlike every other trust/duty support combination, the Amaurotine trio are completely self-sufficient! They do not need you to heal. They do not need you to tank (no group needs you as a DPS). This is because they ALL have a battle revive, and both Venat and Hythlodaeus have powerful heals (even when Venat's not in the healing role). They will reliably complete the dungeon without you.

(Caveat: this is when doing minimal pulls. It is technically still possible to do the largest pulls and succeed but it will take many, many tries, and is largely a matter of luck and them managing to kill something before wiping, and winning eventually through attrition. But for normal pulls/bosses? They have a very high success rate.)

Comments: • Ancient Darkness/Bad Faith are used as a combo, and uncommonly. Sometimes used against bosses, but it's easier to get them to trigger when you do specific larger pulls. The first two groups of mobs (the one with the lions + the collection of panthers) will trigger it. Combining the last two groups before Ladon Lord is the other point. I've never seen him use it on the other mobs, even when collected together after like 60+ runs.

• Pulls with Ravenous Assault, and if it's a group, uses Shadow Spread/Stream. Everything that follows is used in the listed order (apart from Ancient Darkness/Bad Faith as noted above). His basic combo can be used multiple times in a row, before moving on through the rest of the rotation. When there's multiple targets, he sometimes skips the basic combo and moves directly into Hades's Gates and the rest.

• In a no healing situation he dies much more than Venat, presumably due to not having a Clemency equivalent.

Comments: • Dark Eruption/Unholy Darkness comprise most of his damage, and are used as a combo action.

• Ancient Darkness/Bad Faith are also only used as a combo, and while extremely powerful, are only used 0-2 times a dungeon. As noted in the tanking section, he still only uses them at specific points.

• Apart from rotating his other abilities, there doesn't seem to be any real pattern to them, apart from needing to space out his 'finishing' dark combo with the other elemental spells.

• Lower DPS than both Hythlodaeus and Venat.

Hythlodaeus • DPS

Revive, Instant

Comments: • Serpent Shot/Annihilation are used as a combo action and are extremely rare, and almost always used against bosses (specifically Ladon Lord or Hermes).

• Annihilation is the strongest ability any of the Amaurotine use, though in terms of combo, Emet-Selch's Ancient Darkness/Bad Faith roughly equal Serpent Shot/Annihilation.

• Still, though, wtf Hythlodaeus.

• Hythlodaeus does seem to have a rotation he follows, which is essentially the list of attacks above, in that order (minus Serpent Shot/Annihilation). His ST abilities are used as a combo 2-3 times, before moving onto the others. Megiddo Flame is something of a 'finisher' but not always used. But he never seems to deviate from this order. Serpent Shot/Annihilation occur after Luminous Bolt (from my meager sample size).

• Sometimes out-DPSs Venat, sometimes doesn't. Always out-DPSs Emet-Selch.

Venat • Tank

Comments: • Need to figure out her rotation.

• Seems to survive easier than Emet-Selch when not being healed, likely due to being able to spam Clemency.

True Arise N/A / ST Unique N/A

Revive, Instant

Comments: • If there's a pattern to her offensive abilities I'm not seeing it.

• Afflatus Azem seems to have some connection to healing as she uses it more often in a no-tanking situation (as she is also healing vastly more), while her other offensive abilities don't show the same relative increase in cast number (due to the dungeon taking far longer). Whatever system she's using isn't the same as the Lilies though, as she can use Afflatus Azem twice in a row.

• True Cure II/True Medica/True Medica II comprise the vast majority of her healing.

True Arise N/A / ST Unique N/A

Revive, Instant

Comments: • Rotation is Cascade through Fountainfall, repeated, with the occasional True Finish as a finisher (On a 2ish minute cooldown? Probably the same as Technical Step.). Sun Dances also occur after Fountainfall, but only occasionally, in ascending order (sometimes skipping II). Sun Dances + True Finish do not seem to ever occur together. Priority I think goes to True Finish, while on successive combos, Sun Dance(s) are used instead, until True Finish can be used again.

• Has a unique LB2!
