Attributes

All into Magicka

Puncturing Sweeps

I can highly recommend running Puncturing Sweep in certain situations, for example if you are playing solo or in group dungeons. Puncturing Sweeps has a strong heal attached to it while you deal damage, this can be very helpful.

Rotation

In case you don’t know what what weaving light attacks is, make sure to check out the “Weaving Beginner Guide” which explains how to weave light attacks between abilities, aka animation canceling.

Before you start the fight apply Channeled Acceleration and Channeled Focus and keep them running throughout the fight all the time.

You have Unstable Wall of Elements, Blazing Spear, Solar Barrage and Mystic Orb which all are 10 seconds long, so I recommend reactivating them always together. And for the rest of the time you spam Elemental Weapon and keep Purifying Light up.

Execute (25% and below)

During Execute only keep Minor Force buff up and spam Radiant Oppression with Light Attacks.

Area of Effect Setup

Here you can find an optimized AoE setup for your build. This will help increase your damage on trash packs during dungeons & trials. You can choose any magicka based Monster Set, I prefer Iceheart because it provides so much damage mitigation.

Skills

Maelstrom Arena

If you are new to Maelstrom Arena, I highly recommend checking out the full Maelstrom Arena Veteran Guide! Always make sure to start a new wave off with a Heavy Attack to restore a lot of resources! If you still have resource issues use Clockwork Citrus Filet Food.

Gear

Skills

If you have issues with healing, you can always slot Breath of Life. However, Puncturing Sweeps should be enough to heal you.
