Usage

General

• As soon as you get 25 stacks of 超级嗜血法印 and get out of combat, swap back to the Staff without a stacking sigil
• Read dual attunements as Old/New - i.e. Fire/Air means fire was attuned first and air was attuned second
• Start fights in Air/Fire or Air/Earth then rotate through attunements as follows:

Attunement rotation

1. 空气协调 + 火焰协调
2. 火焰协调 ⇒ 火焰协调 + 火焰协调
3. 空气协调/大地协调/流水协调 ⇒ 火焰协调 + X
4. 火焰协调 ⇒ X + 火焰协调
5. Repeat from step 2

Detailed Explanations

Meteor Shower

• Place 火舞流星 where the enemy group is moving to, not where they are when you begin the cast
• Make sure 愤怒元素 is procced when using 火舞流星
• Use 秘法回音 to reset 火舞流星 as often as possible
• There are two ways to move during the cast of 火舞流星:
  • Cast 火舞流星 immediately after casting 灼焰翻滚 and the 火舞流星 will be queued to cast at the target location after the rollback ends
  • Use 电光火石 after you start casting it

Fiery Greatsword

• Treat 火焰风暴 as a secondary 火舞流星
  • Try to get three casts of 火焰风暴 per use of 炽焰巨剑
• Make sure 愤怒元素 is procced when using 炽焰巨剑
• 炽焰回旋 is low cooldown and has high damage, use it aggressively but don't move yourself into a bad position
  • Aim through the enemy stack if your group crosses through them and aim across the enemy stack otherwise
• Use 炽焰冲刺 for mobility, on single targets or to set up 炽焰回旋
• Coordinate with a DPS player in your group to pick up the conjure dropped on the ground
  • Make sure to place it in a safe place for them to grab
  • If you don't have anyone reliable to coordinate with, you can pick it up yourself for 30s after casting the skill

Sustained damage

• When using ground AoEs like 熔岩喷泉, place them so that one edge is on the enemy group and the other edge is in the direction they are moving to
• Your X/Fire Dual skills are slow moving projectiles (等离子爆破, 火山爆炸 and 压力爆破).
  • Predict the enemies movement, as with 火舞流星
  • Cast towards the edges of the enemy group to avoid projectile reflect
• Use 风暴雕文 in 火焰协调 if you expect the fight to last at least 25 seconds
  • Otherwise 空气协调 has more damage but with a much longer cooldown

Skill priority

• 火舞流星
• 炽焰巨剑
• 熔岩喷泉
• 等离子爆破/火山爆炸/压力爆破
• 风暴雕文
• 闪电激荡/大地喷发/寒冰尖刺
• Autoattacks

CC

• Your three ground CCs are 静电力场, 大地动荡 and 寒冰禁地, in order of strength
  • 寒冰禁地 should normally be saved to give yourself and allies 冰霜光环 instead of being used as a CC
• Drop your target when casting 地能波动 to make it easier to aim, don't cast it into projectile reflect
• You shouldn't interrupt your rotation to try and CC, instead try to predict when you'll need to CC and move into the best possible attunement early
• Use your CC when:
  • Your group calls a spike:
    • Winds - 弱化之风
    • Wells - 腐化法池+苦难法池
    • Shades - 沙漠之幕
    • Traps - 利刃狂舞+信仰试炼
  • On top of enemy downs (while alive players are on top of them)
  • Enemy groups moving defensively while your group is pushing

Support

• Focus on using 乘风急速 when your group is pushing or disengaging from the enemy
• Cast 治疗之雨 on clashes, targeting the ground AoE so that one edge is on your group and the other edge is where they are moving to
• If a player in your party is going to die because of Immobilize Immobilize, save them with 乘风急速
• Use 寒冰禁地 on your group before pushes to give 冰霜光环
