It can distribute the boons and permanently to 5 people.
If you are running &BvwnAAA= will extend the current boons of 5 players. Furthermore, &BvwnAAA= then provides to 5 players making it able for some mechanics to be blocked.
You want to play only if you need at an encounter. However, it’s recommended to always play in a beginner group, as doing so improves your over all boon uptime and you will not need two sets of equipment.
It goes without saying that if you run over you are trading DPS for more support.
Besides the actual role of distributing boons, the should also play special boss mechanics. This allows the DPS players to focus on their damage.
For this reason, this role has a relatively high learning curve and requires advanced knowledge of the mechanics of each boss.

In general, there is no rotation that you have to follow. However, there are some things you should keep in mind.
The boon skills
should preferably be used in your &BoZ0AAA=. It’s okay to wait a few seconds for these skills to come off cooldown before going back to your &BoZ0AAA=.
After the opener, try to keep the boon skills on hold, with the exception of &BkcoAAA=. For certain bosses, however, it may be useful to delay the &BvwnAAA= for a group block. If &BoZ0AAA= is ready again, the opener should be executed again.
As a filler, you should always keep &Br0nAAA= on cooldown to get an extra clone. Depending on which weapon you are playing with, you should also keep your phantasms, such as &Br4nAAA= on cooldown. Also use &BvZUAAA= to double cast phantasms. Phantasms in general increase your DPS. But be aware of the side effects of phantasms.
If you play with the trait &B+YHAAA=, phantasms will also indirectly . After the end of a phantasm you will get a clone which you can shatter for group’s and personal .
You should always shatter 3 clones and use &BmLeAAA= or &BineAAA= if possible.
This opener requires a very fast execution but can be created with one clone. In general, however, all following splits should be done with 2 clones.
You should always put your wells on the team and on yourself so that both sides get the boons. When in doubt, however, the team is more important than yourself.
Your DPS is third rate! First try to perform mechanics and boons in an optimal way. DPS comes afterwards.
If you know the attacks and mechanics of a boss, you should block/distort them if possible. For this purpose use above all:
Alternatively, you can use &BvZUAAA= or &BvwnAAA= as they will give you distortion due to the &B/ACAAA= trait. If you get distortion, use &BzwHAAA= to distribute to your group. Ideally, use this to block attacks for your group
