Rotation

Short

1. Open with Pyroblast (Fireball before level 20).
2. Fireball as filler; Scorch keeps Improved Scorch up (it now only helps you).
3. Crits stack Heating Up: at full stacks, cast the faster Pyroblast.
4. Fire Blast to finish targets; each Fire Blast also adds a Heating Up charge. Improved Fire Blast (third row) gives it more range.
5. Packs: Flamestrike, Blast Wave, Arcane Explosion. Combustion has 3 charges.
