* 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. | * 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.

* 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. | * When setting up your insignias and elemental floor buffs, it'll be up to you how you'll place them 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]].

* 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'''. | * 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.

** If you're new to the class and you have barely to zero resources and you don't have any friends, take the hard route of leveling up with all your skills. It may be slow but at least you'll be able to practice how to properly rotate your skills. As a Sorcerer, you are always harder to die. Why? Well because you have your own lil' <span style="color:green;">Ventus</span> to accompany you.

One other approach you could take is using the CC skill '''{{#skill:2453}}'''. Root mobs with Extreme Vacuum then cast your AoE skills to them.
