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.

Due to the cooldown of {{Skill|Banish Enchantment}} Mallyx rotations are extremely tight. Any boon rip on {{Tooltip|Alacrity}}, {{Tooltip|Chill}} or lack of {{Tooltip|Quickness}} can make it difficult to cast all three {{Skill|Banish Enchantment}} and swap legends on time. They can be made significantly easier but slightly less efficient by adding {{Skill|Heroic Command}} or {{Skill|Spiritcrush}} and slightly delaying the legend swap. Another option is swapping one cast of {{Skill|Banish Enchantment}} to {{Skill|Pain Absorption}} which will avoid delaying the legend swap but lose boon rip.

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 CC you could remove the cast of {{Skill|Pain Absorption}} from the Mallyx rotations and still spend the same amount of energy.

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.

Energy Management

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

Mace skills - Searing Fissure and 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 (Banish Enchantment/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 Call to Anguish to avoid damage or to CC you could remove the cast of 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 Abyssal Raze and Shackling Wave are 8 and 10 energy respectively, so you can use Shackling Wave if CC is needed and Abyssal Raze for damage.
