Talent Builds
Stat Priority
1
Intellect
Primary spell stat; higher item level is normally the first gearing filter.
2
Haste
Improves cast or attack speed and resource flow; its exact value changes with your current gear.
3
Mastery
Improves the specialization-specific Mastery effect; its exact value changes with your build and current gear.
4
Versatility
Provides consistent throughput and damage reduction.
5
Crit. Strike
Increases critical-strike chance; its exact value changes with your build and current gear.
Rotation Priority
1
Combustion
Cast near the end of a hard cast and use close to cooldown unless an immediate encounter window justifies a delay.
2
Meteor
Ensure it lands during Combustion; outside Combustion, do not delay it so long that the next burst loses a use.
3
Pyroblast
Consume Hot Streak and chain it behind a hard cast so both spells land together.
4
Fire Blast
Convert Heating Up into Hot Streak without interrupting casts; avoid capping charges.
5
Scorch
Use Heat Shimmer procs, execute interactions, or as a movement filler.
6
Frostfire Bolt
Use as the Frostfire filler and follow it with an instant Pyroblast when Hot Streak is ready.
7
Fireball
Use as the Sunfury filler outside movement and burst windows.
8
Flamestrike
Replace Hot Streak Pyroblast at four or more targets when priority-target damage is not required.
