Hello all and welcome to my Succession Drakania Guide
Addons:
You can run a lot of skill addons with Drakania so these aren't 100% set in stone in terms of effectiveness, however I will say that the Down Smash addons on Blazing Strike and Brimbolt strike are integral to your combo potential.
Ion Generating Skills (Changing With Drak Nerfs):
Ions are an integral part of Drakania's damage. This mechanic gives her a damage boost on some skills when they consume ions.
Note: Currently on Global Labs Dragon's Fury and Markthanan's Scale no longer generate ions. If those changes go live you will have to rely on the other three skills to generate ions.
Ion Consuming Skills:
These are your ion consumption skills, in turn when you have ions these are your highest damaging skills.
Movement:
These are your main protected movement skills. Eviscerate and Azure Onslaught can also be used as protected movement.
Note: Be careful using Markthanan's Wings on cooldown as it is not protected while on cooldown
Catches:
These skills will be your main catches with Succession Drakania.
Note: Soaring Claw is unprotected, however, it is extremely quick to come out so I thought I would note it here. Also, Soaring Claw's animation in the skill enhancement tree is incorrect as of making this post.
Example Combo:
This is a simple combo that you can use with Succession Drakania. This comes back to the importance of the Downsmash Addons I showed earlier.
Shift+F (For the initial KD) ->F (For an AP Buff) -> Down+F (For the Re-KD) -> Shift+RMB (For Damage and Downsmash) -> LMB (For the Flow) ->Down+RMB (For Damage and Downsmash) -> C (For Damage)
If you're quick enough with this combo you can also add Down+C for additional damage but its not recommended especially against grab classes.
I may upload a more in depth guide once the global labs patches go live. As a lot will be changing coming with those patches and will completely change the way you have to play with Succession Drakania.
