V. Basic Gameplay
When the HP bar of the wurm appears use Phantasmal Warden and Illusionary Leap on it.
Dodge into the first wide spin, that creates a Phantasmal Defender with the Mental Defense trait.
Find the diboof spot with Mind Slash and dodge the second wide spin with Blurred Frenzy.
Total husk block
Use Signet of Midnight when the wurm draws his head back and is about to spit because Distortion only last 1 second.
If it was husk then you will receive a invulnerable message at your character and then use Distortion shatter skill to block remaining husks.
If it was eggs then use Mirror to block remaining spits. Then the next spit will be husk so use Signet of Inspiration and the do same as above for if it was husk spit.
Normal
Use Temporal Curtain to block the spit and look if it was eggs or husks. If you have to block husk then use Distortion shatter skill on the number you need. With 3 Illusions Distortion will last 4 seconds enough to block 2 husks.
If the first spit was husk then use Mirror for the first 2 egg spits and after the second spit use Blink to block the last one.
Tipp: For Ground Target skills like Temporal Curtain and Blink use your mouse to double click the skill instead of aiming it on ground, like that the target will be right under you and you will still stay on same spot with Blink.
For AoE
Signet of Midnight - use it when you see the orange AoE circle of the spin.
Signet of Inspiration - use it before the orange AoE circle appears because of the 3/4 cast time.
Use Blurred Frenzy to dodge all the wide spins and always keep up 3 Illusions with Illusionary Leap and Phantasmal Warden.
