The Complete Elemental Master Guide by Goldie: Difference between revisions

==== Beginner ====

<code>'''{{#skill:5372}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5371}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5380}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5370}}''' —> '''''repeat'''''</code>

* When you're in the beginning stages of your journey as much as it will be for your [[The_Complete_Elemental_Master_Guide_by_Goldie#Gear_Progression|gear progression]], you still can't fully capitalize on your skill's best capabilities. You still don't have the proper gears to autocast your ultimate skill '''{{#skill:5380}}''' for instance.

* By the time you repeat your skill rotation cycle, Elemental Buster is already off-CD and you get another chance to cast it. Remember that all your DoT skills and Elemental Buster have a 2 seconds CD, so keep that in mind when rotating your skills.

* I didn't include '''{{#skill:6517}}''' here just yet since this one will require a bit more of practice and familiarization with the class and your core skills first before incorporating Psychic Stream into your skill cycle.

==== Casual Farming ====

<code>'''{{#skill:5372}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5369}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5371}}''' '''AND/OR''' '''{{#skill:5370}}''' —> '''''repeat'''''</code> <big>(DS Combo)</big>

<code>'''{{#skill:5370}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5373}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5371}}''' '''AND/OR''' '''{{#skill:5372}}''' —> '''''repeat'''''</code> <big>(TD Combo)</big>

* Already got your Dimensions combo? Great! Now you'll have lesser skills to include in your rotation. That's because the Dimensions combo {{#item:400536}}+ {{#item:540079}} lets you autocast '''{{#skill:5380}}''' every time you cast '''{{#skill:5369}}''' while {{#item:400536}} + {{#item:540080}}lets you autocast Elemental Buster every time you cast '''{{#skill:5373}}''' so long as both combos are '''Grade A'''.

* The main idea behind this specific skill rotation is to autocast Elemental Buster whenever you can and that mean whenever either Diamond Storm or Terra Drive is off-CD. Both DS and TD have 1 second cooldown and thus you can autocast your Elemental Buster every other second.

* You will start with your 1st DoT skill like '''{{#skill:5372}}''' (DS combo) or '''{{#skill:5370}}''' (TD combo). Proceed that with either DS or TD to autocast Elemental Buster. Now while DS and TD is on CD, you have the option to cast another DoT of your choice. It's up to you if you want to cast either '''{{#skill:5371}}''' or '''{{#skill:5372}}''' and/or '''{{#skill:5371}}''' or '''{{#skill:5370}}''' next. If you have enough ACD, you could just use both skills before DS or TD goes off-CD. I recommend at least '''60% ACD''' for a fluid skill cycle.

==== DPS ====

<code>'''{{#skill:5370}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5371}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5373}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5372}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5373}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5370}}''' ''—>'' '''repeat'''</code> <big>(TD Combo)</big>

* You must wondering why this part got so many skills all of a sudden but that's because this is the part where you ''will actually'' do real DPS. This is when you have all set-ups (i.e. insignias, and elemental floor buffs) considered. You don't really do DPS when farming; you '''burst''' them to smithereens.

* When setting up your insignias and elemental floor buffs, it'll be up to you how you'll place after knowing the basics of what we've discussed from the previous [[The_Complete_Elemental_Master_Guide_by_Goldie#What_are_Insignias_&_How_to_Use_Them|sections]]. The only key essential part that distinguished this particular rotation is because of the skill '''Lvl.''' '''3''' '''<span style="color:green;">{{#skill:2467}}</span>'''. When underneath a '''Level 3 <span style="color:green;">Wind</span> Insignia''', you get '''+50%''' '''ACD''' '''reduction''' on all of your <span style="color:green;">Wind</span> skills such as '''{{#skill:5370}}''' and this gives you freedom to cast ''another'' one of your DoT skills such as '''{{#skill:5371}}''', and I'll have to stress VS specifically. I'll explain as to why. But yes, it's as if you casted another skill with like 0 delay or global delay thanks to that nifty +50% ACD redux.

* Now if you're wondering why VS specifically that's because for the DS combo, you would want '''{{#skill:5372}}''' to be on CD first so that by the time you go back to it after doing your sequenced skill rotation it's already off-CD AND it gets skill modifiers for the DS combo so it hits harder than LL. You want Conflag to be laying on the ground doing damage as you sequence your skills. Meanwhile for the TD Combo, Conflag doesn't get too many skill modifiers only from the {{#item:400536}}(only up to 15% assuming your crown is +15). And in this combo, VS gets more skill modifiers than Conflag so what you do is you cast your LL first, proceed to VS then TD with proced autocasted Elemental Buster then Conflag then back to TD with proced autocasted Elemental Buster and then go back to LL. '''Rinse and repeat'''.

==== Casual farming with Psychic Stream ====

<code>'''{{#skill:6517}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5373}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5370}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5373}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5371}}''' '''AND/OR''' '''{{#skill:5372}}''' —> '''''repeat'''''</code> <big>(TD Combo)</big>

* This sequence of skills is almost identical to the Casual farming rotation—only this time '''{{#skill:6517}}''' is incorporated in your skill rotation and that will specifically be followed by either '''{{#skill:5369}}''' or '''{{#skill:5373}}''', both accompanied by autocast '''{{#skill:5380}}''' as you do field farming.

* When you're surrounded by mobs as you dash with Psychic Stream, your answer to them is Elemental Buster. CC them AND damage them, don't ever give them a reaction time to respond. You will proceed that with one of your DoT skills like '''{{#skill:5372}}''' (DS combo) or '''{{#skill:5370}}''' (TD Combo) then back to DS or TD autocasting Elemental Buster.

* I also recommend putting your hotkey on smartcast for Psychic Stream in case you're not yet used to aiming Psychic Stream. For more info on how to set-up your turbo, follow this [[Patcher#Turbo_Setup|link]].

==== Double Book ====

<code>'''{{#skill:5373}}'''  —> {{#item:540079}}—> '''{{#skill:5369}}'''    —>  {{#item:540080}} —> '''''repeat'''''</code>

* If you happen to have both books and you're good at micromanaging, then this skill rotation could be for you. The main idea here is you would want to abuse the book's combo with {{#item:400536}} which lets you autocast '''{{#skill:5380}}''' to your heart's content every time you cast '''{{#skill:5369}}''' or '''{{#skill:5373}}'''. Though instead of only focusing on 1 book, you'll be using both. Whether you cast DS or TD first won't matter as you'll only rotate between these 2 skills and no other skills anymore.
