This is the section where I'll be explaining on how to keep our spirits alive. This is unknown to most players who hadn't played the class priorly. Only people who have played the class religiously since Day 1 as a Sorcerer during the 3rd job era would know the secret sauce on how to make your Elemental and High Elementals live their lives as your own personal tank or meat shield. | This is the section where I'll be explaining on how to keep our spirits alive.

In the first skill rotation, while Lightning Land is dealing damage and on cooldown for 2 seconds, we can alternate between Terra Drive and Diamond Storm to autocast four (4) undisrupted https://static.divine-pride.net/images/skill/5380.png <span style="background:linear-gradient(to right, #FF3F34 0%, #2C6FBB 25%, #006400 50%, #B5651D 75%, #800080 100%); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">'''Elemental Busters'''</span> to burst down MVPs and monsters to smithereens.

Once LL is off-CD, we will cast it again then go back to spamming Elemental Buster. This specific skill rotation does the least DPS as compared to the next three rotations but finds the most comfort among the three since it will only require about 50% ACD and have fewer skills to manage. | ||
Meanwhile, the next three rotations will <s>probably strain your fingers</s> depend on your party composition and the situation; for example, when an Arch Mage is present to debuff the MVP with their https://static.divine-pride.net/images/skill/5232.png + https://static.divine-pride.net/images/skill/5222.png '''Climax Bloom''' and https://static.divine-pride.net/images/skill/5232.png + https://static.divine-pride.net/images/skill/5221.png '''Climax Earth''', and then you even add your own '''{{#skill:2468}}''', the second one (with Conflagration) will do the second most DPS. Whereas, the third one (with Venom Swamp) will be situational and is for when mobs are either resistant or immune to your Conflag or <span style="color:red;">Fire</span> skills in general. These two rotations will need a bit more ACD (≈60% more or less) and higher ASPD to smoothly cycle all your skills. | Meanwhile, the next three rotations will <s>probably strain your fingers</s> depend on your party composition and the situation; for example, when an Arch Mage is present to debuff the MVP with their https://static.divine-pride.net/images/skill/5232.png + https://static.divine-pride.net/images/skill/5222.png '''Climax Bloom''' and https://static.divine-pride.net/images/skill/5232.png + https://static.divine-pride.net/images/skill/5221.png '''Climax Earth''', and then you even add your own '''{{#skill:2468}}''', the second one (with Conflagration) will do the second most DPS.

In this particular rotation, you will have an adequate amount of time before your three DoT skills stop lingering and go off-CD but this also means you will need ''A LOT'' of ACD for this rotation to work. I have experimented on a couple of set-ups and what worked best for me is by having '''full''' '''193 ASPD''' and an ACD ranging from '''65% to 72%'''—65% is already baseline clunky and anything below 65% would be a lot clunkier and more problematic. Moreover, it is also ideal and optimal to designate the keys for your DoT skills (LL, Conflag, and VS) to be on [[Patcher#Turbo Setup|smart-cast mode]] as this will allow you to rapidly spam all of them in a fast sequential manner; this is crucial because you would want to cast all three of them <u>within a short time-frame</u> so that by the time you get back to recasting them again there won't be any delays or gaps. Remember, though your DoT skills have a two (2) seconds cooldown for each one of them, they exist and linger for up to three (3) seconds. | ||
