Specializations

This build can provide permanent Quickness merely by adjusting the rotation to focus more on the Air Jade Sphere. This might not be reliable on real encounters (raids in particular), so an example setup for more boon duration is below.
- Fresh Air also gives you much readier access to Air Attunement, so some players might prefer it to Bolt to the Heart.

Specialization Variants

Air can be replaced by Water for a burstier opening, suited to shorter-phased fights such as fractals.

You should also run Conjurer in Fire to build up stacks of Elemental Empowerment faster.
