* Always try to swap legends when off cooldown to refresh energy
+
It is important to swap legends as often as possible since each legend swap gives you up to 75 energy (Going from 0 -> 50 + {{Trait|Charged Mists}}). During the 10s between legend swap CDs, you have 125 energy assuming {{Trait|Charged Mists}} was procced. Because {{Skill|Orders from Above}} needs to be cast in both Mallyx and Jalis, you need two plans for each legend on how to spend energy.

** Make sure to be under 10 energy when swapping legends to activate {{Trait|Charged Mists}}
+
 
−
** {{Skill|Vengeful Hammers}} and {{Skill|Heroic Command}} are both useful for dumping energy quickly
+
Mace skills - {{Skill|Searing Fissure}} and {{Skill|Echoing Eruption}} - cost only 5 energy and can be slotted in to use up the 5 energy often left over when rotating through other skills.
 +
 
 +
In the following recommended energy uses, any skill that is used multiple times in a single legend ({{Skill|Banish Enchantment}}/{{Skill|Inspiring Reinforcement}}) must be cast as soon as possible. Use these basic rotations as a framework to balance your energy usage, they can be adapted to your needs. For example if you needed to cast {{Skill|Call to Anguish}} to avoid damage or to CC you could remove the cast of {{Skill|Pain Absorption}} from the Mallyx rotations and still spend the same amount of energy. The suggested rotation is support heavy, you can spend less on support skills to get more damage if that better for your group. Always think of skills with similar energy cost as being interchangeable in usage, for instance {{Skill|Abyssal Raze}} and {{Skill|Shackling Wave}} are 8 and 10 energy respectively, so you can use {{Skill|Shackling Wave}} if CC is needed and {{Skill|Abyssal Raze}} for damage.
