Utility
Usage
The rotation below is for maximum damage, but if you are struggling with boon provision you can add a couple of extra steps (see below).
Scepter Rotation
Opening Burst
- Summon in before the encounter starts, and swap to .
- Cast from afar then begin channeling . Ideally you time the cast to finish on top of the enemy the moment combat begins. If you aren't confident in pre-casting, you can use after instead.
- and during the cast of the skills above.
Loop
The rotation is very simple. After
, you switch to , use two skills, then return to to overload and repeat.
Fire
- . If not available, use instead.
- during the cast - we use the longer cast time skill second in order to spend as little time autoattacking in Air Attunement as possible.
Air
- Use whichever of the following cooldowns are available, otherwise just autoattack
- - this has no cast time, so cast during other skills. You should be able to use it twice each time you're in air.
- as soon as Overload Air finishes
Extra boons

and are not part of the default rotation, but can be included to increase your boon uptime. significantly increases yourYou could also provide extra Protection by switching to after to trigger , then immediately switch to to not lose any time.
Fire elementals from provide a good amount of Might while still dealing good damage. Compared to , your burst damage will be lower, but this can be partly offset if you're able to precast multiple elementals during downtime. You also need to consider that the elementals themselves might be annoying to use as they can't be controlled.
Notes
- Cast whenever it's available - it doesn't interrupt other channels.=
- Step back from the boss before casting to maximize the hits you get from it.
