Rotation:

Blizzard iii.png --> Thunder iii.png --> Blizzard iv icon1.png --> Fire iii.png --> Fire iv icon1.png --> Fire iv icon1.png --> Fire iv icon1.png --> Fire.png(Thunder iii.pngif Thundercloud.png procced) --> Fire iv icon1.png --> Fire iv icon1.png --> Fire iv icon1.png --> Despair.png --> Xenoglossy.pngSharpcast icon1.png --> (repeat from Blizzard iii.png)


Note: Try to use Ley lines icon1.png and Triplecast.png on cooldown. Holding Swiftcast.png for emergency movement is usually a good idea until you know the fight solidly. If you know a heavy movement phase is coming up in the next 60s, save Triplecast.png as well. Similarly, try not to drop Ley lines icon1.png if you know you won't be able to stay in the whole time. If you're forced to move for mechanics, Aetherial Manipulation.png and Between the Lines.png can help to minimize downtime.

Rotation (while under Enochian):

Fire iii.png (or Firestarter.png if proc'd) --> Fire iv icon1.png --> Fire iv icon1.png --> Fire.png --> Fire iv icon1.png --> Fire iv icon1.png --> Blizzard iii.png --> Thunder icon1.png (or Thunder iii.png if Thundercloud.png procd) --> Blizzard iv icon1.png

Note:

I am able to get the six Fire IV in with around 840 Spell Speed/Full Prototype Midan gear. If you are having trouble, start off with two Fire IVs, not three, and work your way up to three in a row. Even with high spell speed, I can just barely get off Blizzard IV before Enochian drops. Remember in boss fights to do what you can to keep Enochian up!
