3
Mastery
Improves the specialization-specific Mastery effect; its exact value changes with your build and current gear.
4
Haste
Improves cast or attack speed and resource flow; its exact value changes with your current gear.
5

Provides consistent throughput and damage reduction.

Rotation Priority

1
The Hunt
Use with the chosen burst setup and when the target will survive the damage-over-time effect.
2
Reaver's Glaive
Use as directed by Aldrachi Reaver and consume both follow-up buffs without overwriting them.

Eye Beam
Cast on cooldown and set up the following Demonic or Essence Break window.
4
Essence Break
Fit Death Sweep and Annihilation casts into its short damage window.
5
Death Sweep
Prioritize during Metamorphosis, particularly inside Essence Break.

7
Vengeful Retreat
