Rotation

  1. Esadora's Overflowing Cameo increases the damage of Crackling Energy with each rank you have in Shock Skills that are equipped to the Action Bar. This is why you put Ranks into Skills you don't use or deal damage with.

  2. Ball Lightning is your primary Skill to cast. This generates Crackling Energy with Wizard's Ball Lightning to maintain the Rapid Discharge of Esadora's Overflowing Cameo.

  3. Lightning Spear provides consistent Vulnerable application. The number active is shown on the Action Bar Skill, it will be summoned by your ultimate Unstable Currents but you may need to cast it if none are active.

  4. Familiar won't go on your Action Bar but will be summoned by your ultimate Unstable Currents, it provides a damage bonus with Invoked Familiar.

  5. Charged Bolts ranks will increase your Crackling Energy damage with Esadora's Overflowing Cameo. You do not need to cast this.

  6. Chain Lightning ranks will increase your Crackling Energy damage with Esadora's Overflowing Cameo. You do not need to cast this.

  7. Teleport provides mobility and Unstoppable to break out of Crowd Control.

  8. Unstable Currents boosts Attack Speed and unleashes random Shock Skills which also summons a Shock Familiar for Invoked Familiar active.

  9. Ice Armor can be activated with your Potion from the Enchantment with Orsivane. It is currently bugged and only works at full health with the Orsivane version if you also have Temerity. In a Push scenario you can use Imbiber and make sure to keep your potions at 0 for the maximum damage.

  10. Frost Nova provides damage with Mystical Frost Nova at a Lucky Hit Chance with your Enchantment from Orsivane.

  11. Cast Ball Lightning to generate Crackling Energy and quickly reach the maximum. You can move faster with Teleport Enchantment or Teleport, Bounding Conduit requires you to use one or the other every 5 seconds for more damage.

  12. Charged Flash will send waves of Crackling Energy towards nearby enemies.

  13. Use Unstable Currents when available to unleash Invoked Familiar and Lightning Spear. This cooldown resets quickly in more difficult content but takes longer if enemies die quickly.

  14. Lightning Spear should be cast if you don't have any active. There is a number on the Action Bar that indicates how many are active.

  15. Teleport will reset quickly thanks to Overflowing Energy. Use Teleport Enchantment when the Action Bar version isn't available, try rotating between the two.

  16. Use your Potion for Ice Armor as needed.
