I will press '''<u>Hotkey 1</u>''' first to cast DS then switch to Spell Book by pressing '''<u>Hotkey W</u>'''. After which, I will cast TD then press my '''<u>Hotkey Q</u>''' to equip my Magic Book and then press '''<u>Hotkey 1</u>''' to cast DS again. Keep repeating this 'til you fully master switching books. I myself am not good with micromanaging the Hotkeys that's why I don't use this skill rotation often despite owning the two (2) books. If you're fast with your fingers, then this skill rotation may just be for you. | * As an example, let's say I reserved hotkeys '''1'''<big>–</big>'''2'''<big>–</big>'''Q'''<big>–</big>'''W''' for '''DS'''<big>–</big>'''TD'''<big>–</big>'''Magic Book'''<big>–</big>'''Spell Book''', respectively.

==== Casual Farming ==== | |||
<code> '''{{#skill:5373}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5369}}''' —> '''''repeat'''''</code> | |||
* This is the rotation that is as comfortable and braindead as you can possibly get. Instead of cycling your other AoE skills, you will be solely focusing on '''{{#skill:5373}}''' and '''{{#skill:5369}}''', which will be both accompanied by an autocasted '''https://static.divine-pride.net/images/skill/5380.png <span style="background:linear-gradient(to right, #FF3F34 0%, #2C6FBB 25%, #268F15 50%, #B5651D 75%, #800080 100%); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">Elemental Buster</span>'''. | |||
* Both Terra Drive and Diamond Storm share a 1 second CD and they only have a 0.5 second global delay. By the time you casted either one of them, the other skill will be off-CD and will be available to be casted. | |||
* This is probably the rotation you will follow the most when you just want to chill farm and don't want to expend too much brain cells and effort to cycle other skills. It is true that you can weave in a few skills but when field farming you are also walking/moving and this alone gives you ample time before either skill goes off-CD. | |||
==== Casual Farming with AoE Puddles ==== | |||
<code>'''{{#skill:5370}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5373}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5369}}''' —>''' {{#skill:5373}}''' —>''' {{#skill:5369}}''' —>''' ''repeat'''''</code> | |||
<code>'''{{#skill:5372}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5373}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5369}}''' —>''' {{#skill:5373}}''' —>''' {{#skill:5369}}''' —>''' ''repeat'''''</code> | |||
<code>'''{{#skill:5371}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5373}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5369}}''' —>''' {{#skill:5373}}''' —>''' {{#skill:5369}}''' —>''' ''repeat'''''</code> | |||
<code>'''{{#skill:5370}}''' '''AND/OR''' '''{{#skill:5372}}''' '''AND/OR''' '''{{#skill:5371}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5373}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5369}}''' —>''' {{#skill:5373}}''' —>''' {{#skill:5369}}''' —>''' ''repeat'''''</code> | |||
* If you desire to cover more grounds or you are attentive enough to know when your AoE "puddles" will be off-CD, this is the rotation for you. This one is almost identical with the first, but instead of alternating between '''{{#skill:5373}}''' and '''{{#skill:5369}}''', you will also cast your other lingering skills such as '''{{#skill:5370}}''', '''{{#skill:5372}}''', and '''{{#skill:5371}}'''. | |||
* Whether you only want to cast LL among your choices of lingering skills due to the skill modifier bonuses that {{#icon:300594}}{{#linkitem:300594|Ilse El Heine Card}} give when you pair it with {{#icon:400724}}{{#linkitem:400724|Yorscalp Crown of Judgment}}, the door is always open for you to cycle Conflag or VS as well. This is particularly important when you want to farm in a map where monsters would resist <span style="color:green;">Wind</span> element or your two other main elements like <span style="color:brown;">Earth</span>/<span style="color:blue;">Water</span>. Don't hesitate to use your two other puddle skills when you encounter such a predicament. | |||
==== Casual Farming with Psychic Stream ==== | |||
<code>'''{{#skill:6517}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5373}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5369}}''' —>''' {{#skill:5373}}''' —>''' {{#skill:5369}}''' —>''' ''repeat'''''</code> | |||
<code>'''{{#skill:6517}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5370}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5373}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5373}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5369}}''' —>''' {{#skill:5373}}''' —>''' {{#skill:5369}}''' —>''' ''repeat'''''</code> | |||
* Once again, this rotation is almost identical to the previous two—only this time '''{{#skill:6517}}''' is incorporated in your skill rotation. If you want to do the '''telestomping tactic''', you will immediately follow up Psychic Stream with either Terra Drive and Diamond Storm to autocast '''https://static.divine-pride.net/images/skill/5380.png <span style="background:linear-gradient(to right, #FF3F34 0%, #2C6FBB 25%, #268F15 50%, #B5651D 75%, #800080 100%); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">Elemental Buster</span>'''. Additionally, you can also cast several of your lingering skills before proceeding to either Terra Drive or Diamond Storm. | |||
* The main idea behind this rotation is to repeatedly use your mobility skill Psychic Stream whenever it's off-CD. And since the skill rebalancing update that reduced Psychic Stream's CD to 2 seconds, you will always be guaranteed to recast it again after casting at least 2 other skills. | |||
* I would advise you to start familiarizing yourself with the skill first and knowing how to properly set-up your hotkey for Psychic Stream on [[Patcher#Turbo Setup|smart-cast mode]], so that instead of aiming and clicking your mouse cursor on a monster you can just aim and you will not worry too much about accuracy since smart-cast in itself is rapid, accurate, and prioritizes. | |||
==== DPS ==== | |||
<code> '''{{#skill:5370}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5373}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5369}}''' —>''' {{#skill:5373}}''' —>''' {{#skill:5369}}''' —>''' ''repeat'''''</code> | |||
<code> '''{{#skill:5370}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5372}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5373}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5369}}''' —>''' {{#skill:5373}}''' —>''' {{#skill:5369}}''' —>''' ''repeat'''''</code> | |||
<code> '''{{#skill:5370}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5371}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5373}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5369}}''' —>''' {{#skill:5373}}''' —>''' {{#skill:5369}}''' —>''' ''repeat'''''</code> | |||
<code> '''{{#skill:5370}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5372}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5371}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5373}}''' —> '''{{#skill:5369}}''' —>''' {{#skill:5373}}''' —>''' {{#skill:5369}}''' —>''' ''repeat'''''</code> | |||
* 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. | |||
* The fourth and last skill rotation is the overall best one to give out the highest value in damage numbers or total DPS as you will be able to cast all three of your DoT skills before you spam your autocasted Elemental Busters. 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. | |||
