This reproduces the craftable budget branch of a current Dragonknight reference, not its expensive trial set. Five Hunding pieces stay active on either weapon bar. Four Night Mother pieces provide their lower-count bonuses; this layout does not claim the five-piece effect. Three Agility jewels complete a deliberate affordable attribute package.

How to use this setup
- Start the back-bar effects with Stampede, Barbed Trap, Incinerate, Carve and Shatterspike Mantle, positioning the ground effects on the target.
- Switch to dual wield and apply Searing Claw, Deadly Cloak and Disintegrating Dragonfire.
- Use Magma Fist between effect refreshes; use Molten Whip when its enhanced state is ready. Weave a light attack between abilities when practical.
- Refresh effects after they expire, use Shifting Standard in an attack window and heavy-attack if stamina recovery is needed.
Priorities and progression
- CP160 equipment, Stamina allocation, critical chance and sufficient penetration for the actual group debuffs.
- Dark Elf is the reference race, but racial changes are not required to learn this exact bar.
- This group damage version has no dedicated self-heal slot; replacing a skill with Resolving Vigor creates an explicit survival variant.
Set counts survive the weapon swap
The two Hunding daggers supply two active set pieces. The greatsword also supplies two, so the three Hunding armour pieces reach five on both bars. The Night Mother pieces intentionally stop at four; Disintegrating Dragonfire supplies a separate debuff interaction. Read the new U51 morph names rather than substituting an older Dragonknight bar with superficially similar skill icons.
