# Instant Cast: hurt others faster than they can hurt you and also you don't want to be hurt because of the small HP pool. We will aim to get 100% vct% reduction purely from items (instead of stats)

# <Only For Farming otherwise this can be skipped> One Hit (OH) damage capability: This is less of an issue for Shiranui because the single instance of any of the skills in the rotation ({{#skill:5492}} (0.5s CD), {{#skill:5488}} (0.7s CD), and {{#skill:5495}} (1s CD)) all have decent damage and either way if it doesn't OH the cooldown is very short so you just hit the mobs again.  You will want to use {{#skill:5492}} and {{#skill:5488}} mostly for your farming depending on the distance, while {{#skill:5495}} is very nice area cover speaking (11x 11) but the cooldown is relatively high (1 sec) and its AP requirement means you cannot use it too often.
# <Only For Farming otherwise this can be skipped> One Hit (OH) damage capability: This is less of an issue for Arch Mage because the single instance of any of the skills in the rotation ({{#skill:5235}} (0.3s CD), {{#skill:5222}} (6s CD), and {{#skill:5217}} (4s CD)), and perhaps {{#skill:5220}} (0.7s CD) all have decent damage and either way if it doesn't OH, the cooldown is either very short so you just hit the mobs again or the skills are '''puddle''' type (lingering on area DPS).  You will want to use {{#skill:5235}} or/and {{#skill:5220}} mostly for your farming depending on the map, while {{#skill:5222}} and {{#skill:5217}} is very nice puddle type skills but the cooldown are relatively high and you could just throw them out before teleporting away if the map is of high mobs density.
# <Only For Bossing otherwise this can be skipped> DPS: ASPD requirement is quite high for full rotation spam maybe above 187 ASPD (5 actions per second) and might as well aim for 193 ASPD just to be safe, for the entire skills rotation.

# Survivability, HP pool, damage resistance in general, and/or evasion (Shiranui is very glass cannon and the double dagger build means we don't use shield)
