EXPLANATION

Instaflux builds don’t have a set rotation, but instead follow a priority system. Sometimes, cooldowns overlap, meaning we have multiple skill options to choose from. The priority system is determined on three things - cooldown, damage and distance.

and are the two highest DPS skills in our kit, so they are cast in pairs and have the highest priority. Due to animation cancel of , which puts us at melee range, we now cast our melee combo which consists of and . Weaving spells such as + are usually cast between either pairs as they become available. has the lowest dps of all skills and is used when everything else is on cooldown to help with maintaining boundless state.

Generally, you would want to follow the cast priority in the table above. For more advanced users, if the target moves in a predictable manner you may choose to pre-cast spells at their destination.

Animation canceling

Instant cast builds usually only cancel one skill, which is . We animation cancel it every time with spacebar. It is the fastest way to cancel and allows us to continue the rest of our rotation uninterrupted while also allowing us to reposition.

Gear set

Nightmare 4-Set and Dominion 2-set the default choice after reaching Relic Gear. Nightmare provides us with attack speed, cooldown reduction and mana regeneration. While Dominion provides us with a flat damage increase and additional cooldown reduction.

Bracelet

Bracelets have a large pool of potential effects and it can get very expensive trying to obtain specific ones. The best way to approach this item is to use one with the correct combat stats for your build and not worry too much about the extra effects until you can afford to spend a significant amount of gold for them.

Your primary goal is to have a roll of the two primary stats we use, meaning Crit and Swiftness. Swift is preferred to have the highest roll between both.

If you decide to start rolling for additional effects, look for any of the following:

• Hammer
• Wedge* (only if you already have Hammer)
• Superiority* (On successful Basic Attack against a foe, Damage +1.5/2/2.5%)
• Precise
• Raid
• Fervor
• Circulate
