Usage
Boons
The majority of your boons come from your Jade Sphere in various attunements.
- Fire - Might
- Water - Resolution and Vigor
- Air - Quickness and Fury
- Earth - Protection and Resistance
On your first rotation, you will want to use in Fire, Air, and Earth. In the second rotation, use it in Fire, Air, and Water (you will still want to attune to Earth to trigger Protection from ). By rotating sphere usage between Water and Earth, you can maintain relatively high uptimes on Protection and Resolution. As Protection is generally more useful, if you are struggling with uptime, use more in Earth.
You will lack Might slightly on your first rotation. This can be mitigated slightly by blasting with . Might will be sufficient starting on your second rotation of .
- Due to the cooldown on is actually 13 seconds in each attunement (without Alacrity), not 15s. With Alacrity, the cooldown is 10.5s.
- Don't forget supplemental Regeneration from and Swiftness from
Energy Generation
Important: You cannot generate energy through hits while any sphere is active! 2 Energy can be generated per attunement swap through even if one is active, however. This means that to cast 3 instances of , we need to generate energy through hits quickly. This can be done using on the , , or other fast skills, such as , , , etc.
Healing
As a Staff Elementalist build, you have a lot of healing through weapon skills in . Consistent healing comes from and while you are using Frost Bow. Burst Healing comes through and blasting the water field from with and .
Healing Utility is mainly . Don't hesitate to use this if needed, it has quite a short cooldown.
Your Elite Skill, allows you to summon an Ice Elemental that can use . This is another huge, short cooldown heal that can be used to burst your subgroup back up to full.
You can also dodge to trigger in Water
Spend time in when you are not using in other attunements for uptime.
