Rotation & Extras

Key Concepts

Elementalist relies on high Damage from 火焰协调 图标火焰协调 skills to secure kills while using other Attunements to Crowd Control, deal a little less Damage or Heal yourself.

This build runs a full set of defensive utilities to cover it's low Health pool.

It gains access to 元素雕文 图标元素雕文 which will summon either an offensive or defensive elemental depending on your current Attunement:

Dealing Damage

Every Attunement except for 流水协调 图标流水协调 offers high damage skills. Feel free to rotation between them all using the combos discussed below.

Use 空气协调 图标空气协调 or 大地协调 图标大地协调 to gain access Crowd Control skills which will help you land your high Damage skills in 火焰协调 图标火焰协调.

Here are some example combos that you can use:

Once in 火焰协调 图标火焰协调 you will want to use those skills as quickly as possible in this order:

  1. 炽焰疾步 图标炽焰疾步
  2. 烈焰之攫 图标烈焰之攫
  3. 炙火之环 图标炙火之环

If you decide to use 元素雕文 图标元素雕文 in 火焰协调 图标火焰协调, it will summon a powerful fire elemental and its second activation will use 烈焰轰炸 图标烈焰轰炸. This provides a high Damage ticking AoE.

You can use 秘法护盾 图标秘法护盾 to cover your burst and if broken by three hits it will also deal significant Damage.

Defense

Almost all of your sustain comes from 流水协调 图标流水协调:

秘法绚爆 图标秘法绚爆 should always be used inside a Combo Field such as 冰封爆裂 图标冰封爆裂 or 炙火之环 图标炙火之环.

风驰电掣 图标风驰电掣 is your main mobility skill but keep in mind that it isn't a Stun Break.

Your Stun Breaks are:

They also both provide Stability.

If used in Water Attunement, 元素雕文 图标元素雕文 will give you access to one of the best sustain ability of the game: 冲击水流 图标冲击水流. This only has a 15 seconds Cooldowns.
