How to play at level 30

Your combat loop

Press the first one that is ready.

Flame Shock Keep on target · 21 sec

Keep it on the target; it lasts 21 sec.

17% of your damage
Lightning Bolt Filler

Cast it whenever nothing above is ready.

83% 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.

Flame Shock

In the gaps: Lightning Bolt
