* 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.

* Recommended amount of ACD for the 1st rotation is 50%. When you incorporate only 1 of your lingering skills like '''{{#skill:5370}}''', 50%~55% ACD will suffice; however ACD requirement will be increased to 60% or more when you include two or more puddle skills.

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.

* One last reminder I would like to share is that don't let people tell you otherwise not to run 72% ACD or else it's impractical. We have different set of rotations and different need of ACD for very different situations. When farming maps and dungeons where walking will be inevitable, that alone will already save time and before you know it your skills will be off-CD already. You will also not rotate all your skills and only some of them, but here since in this section we are talking about DPS we will treat it differently. DPS will mean achieving the highest possible value over time, which is different from bursting and farming. 72% ACD is possible to get with the gears and buffs we have, and so long as there's discipline for passion, fight for it!
