Simplified Rotation

Newer players may wish to run the grandmaster along with the Radiance build. This trades the temporary 25% modifier from for a permanent 15% modifier. The rotation is very similar, but you no longer use and can cast the skills named in the Spear of Justice Burst section off cooldown instead.
