Rotations
Fire Single Target Rotation ↴
- Start the rotation by casting 3
Firebolts before using 
Combust for quick burst damage. Follow up with 
Blink to make your next 
Lightning Strike cast instantly and deal incredible damage.
- Once you've unlocked
Fuse, make sure to start the rotation with Lightning Strike to make use of the extra damage you deal while applying burns to Shocked targets.
Frost-lightning Single Target DPS Rotation ↴
- This rotation focuses on dealing high burst damage to single targets, being the bread and butter of the build at early levels once you've unlocked
Shatter and 
Shattering Shards so comboing frost and lightning spells becomes much more powerful.
- Start the rotation with Frostbolt then continue to auto-attack using your wand until the target is frozen and your Frostbolt cooldown is reset. Once frozen, use Lightning Strike but don't cast the entire channel just to trigger Shatter for extra damage. Use Frostbolt next to also trigger Shattering Shards for extra damage before using auto-attacks again until the target is frozen once more.
- Once the mob is frozen, use
Chain Lightning to trigger Shatter instead of waiting for Lightning Strike cooldown to come back up. You can then repeat the rotation from the beginning either on the same mob or on a new one.
AOE Rotation ↴
- This build isn't lacking in AOE damage either though. Make sure you group up a few mobs before using Shell to gain a shield and not lose HP while you are pulling the mobs together. You can follow-up with
Arcane Circle to boost your damage as well but the the long cooldown might make it difficult to fit this every time you do the rotation so try to use it when you pull a larger amount of mobs.
- Use
Hoarfrost to apply Chill and then use 
Cone of Cold to freeze the mobs together. Channel 
Ball Lightning so it hits all enemies you've frozen in order to deal damage through the Shatter proc.
