How to play at level 35

Your combat loop

Press the first one that is ready.

  1. Fire Blast Every 6 sec

    Use it whenever it is ready, every 6 sec.

    27% of your damage
  2. Fireball Filler

    Cast it whenever nothing above is ready.

    71% of your damage
  3. Wand Wand

    When your mana runs out.

    1% of your damage

The first 30 seconds

When to press each one from the pull. The blue line under a press is the global cooldown (1.5 sec) or cast it holds: nothing else on the global cooldown can go until it ends, so of two that are ready together the higher one goes first.
