Best mage DPS rotation?

[AlexVsNex]

I've been going with my friends to vorago quite a lot, but they seem to be out-dpsing me nearly always. I seem to be splashing more than them, but I'm not sure if that's the case or not.

Anycase, my rotation of what ability to use if available is

Conc blast, impact, dragon's breath*, chain, wrack, combust.

I use my asphyxiate and WM pretty much whenever possible (Asphyxiate first), but I see some people rushing up to ultimate without using thresholds).

Obviously for ultimate I sunshine. But for when sunshine is largely off cd/fight nearly at the end, would you recommend tsunami or omnipower?

Thanks for your replies. I've been asking for their gear and we seem to be wearing the same stuff and everyone's using curses (dat ss).

Out of curiosity though, is amulet of zealots+normal prayers any better than curses atm? And if so by how much/what is affected?


*only when in range obv, but is the range 1 or 2 squares? I've only used it when I'm in melee range but I've seen people further away try it



Finally, incase anyone was wondering, gear is dual seis, tectonic, ragefires, static gloves, sixth age circuit, ASN, skillcape. Runic accuracy/inspiration for aura. Also, any other dps auras you can recommend?


Appreciate all responses

Rotate between concentrated blast and a basic (wrack, dbreath- with dragon rider amulet only, impact, etc) to build Adren, once 100% switch to vigor ring and sunshine, adren pot, work your way up and wild magic and asphyxiate on your sunshine. On shorter phases (1,3) use tsunami for the 30 seconds of free Adren on a critical. On longer phases, (2,4) use natural instinct when your sunshine is on cool down to build adrenaline quickly back up because every other sunshine you can't drink your Adren pots because it's on cool down. Also, use wild magic before asphyxiate, it's more damaging if you don't get off on reflect in time. As far as your gear goes, replace your arcane stream with a dragon rider amulet for prayer and damage boost. Also, comp cape and virtus gloves/boots are recommended. I base a lot more than I dps so I use rev and penance frequently, but inspiration and runic are fine for auras. Also consider using elements scrimshaw for dps. Hope this helped

Edit: for dragon breath to hit you must be in Melee distance.
Edit2: use a seers ring (I) with a ring of vigor switch before you ultimate. 3a circuit sucks lol
