Rotcaller Staff PvE Build
Strengths
- High DPS
- Good Self Healing
Weaknesses
- Low Mobility
Overview
The 
Elder's Rotcaller Staff build focuses on group PvE and is a high performer in Group Dungeons, Avalonian Dungeons, Hardcore Expeditions and Static dungeons. PvE focused Avalonian Roads trips can also use this build if they are looking for good DPS. Its unique playstyle requires a good understanding of the game and your build is rather reliant on your healer since you make use of the 
Elder's Specter Jacket.
Equipment
Elder's Cryptcandle could be cheaper while providing roughly the same IP as an 8.0.
Usage
Elder's Rotcaller Staff
Cursed Tar — Use this AOE on the ground after mobs are stacked. As it applies vile curse stacks with each second a mob spends on the tar, you can maximize the stacks you apply quite easily.
Cursed Beam — Use this ability after you've stacked a few Vile Curse Charges on your targets, as each charge will be consumed to deal bonus damage in a 4-meter radius around the enemy struck by the beam. Always try to align the beam to hit as many enemies as possible at once.
Plaguebringer — A straightforward skill as it does AOE damage in a cone in front of the caster and also knocks back enemies, helping with CCing the mobs if needed.
Furious — Perfect for your constant auto-attacking between using your abilities.
Elder's Royal Robe
Magic Rune — Place this rune on the ground as your first skill while the tank is gathering mobs. Be sure to notify your allies so they can position themselves within the rune to receive the buff as well.
Aggression — This is your only good choice that increases damage
Elder's Royal Cowl
Perpetual Energy — This is the ability that helps a lot with your mana sustain and allows you to spam 
Ice Shard without running out of mana. It has a rather long duration which allows you to use the entire duration of 
Mark of the Raven.
Balanced Mind — You want to choose this passive for the damage increase.
Elder's Shoes of Tenacity
Blind Spot — Use this ability on cooldown to boost your overall damage. Keep in mind that it also makes you invisible to other players for a few seconds.
Balanced Mind — Yet another damage increase passive!
Elder's Demon Cape
Opening to Hell — This ability creates a pool of lava beneath the mob you hit with your auto-attack, as long as the cape isn't on cooldown. Keep in mind that to activate this you need to auto-attack enemies and it can be tough NOT to auto-attack as to not trigger the skill early. The lava pool deals significant AOE damage to all nearby enemies, making it a valuable tool for boosting your DPS.
Rotations
- Start your rotation by activating Magic Rune stay on top of it to boost damage (it is also good if the rest of your DPS players also does the same). Follow up by using Cursed Tar followed by Plaguebringer for a burst of damage. Follow-up with an auto-attack to trigger Opening to Hell so you place a lava pool and deal extra damage to the mobs. Once you stacked up Vile Curses on the enemies, you can finish up by using Cursed Beam to blow up the Vile Curse charges and deal AOE damage to the entire group of mobs.
Consumables
Major Energy Potion — Because the build is rather mana hungry, you want to use some sort of energy potion. Its best to use a t6 one as it offers 50% max mana regen coupled with 28% more over 7 seconds. Keep in mind that this potion ALSO lowers your cooldowns!
Beef Stew — Very good damage boost but you can also use 
Pork Omelette for CD speed.
