  • Use Shimmer to kite and reposition.

Single‑Target (Elites / Bosses)

  1. Fireball until Heating Up.
  2. Fire Blast → instant Pyroblast.
  3. Use Combustion on cooldown.
  4. Use Phoenix Flames during burst.
  5. Use Fireball as filler.

AoE (3+ Targets)

  1. Use Flamestrike during Combustion.
  2. Use Phoenix Flames on cooldown.
  3. Use Dragon’s Breath for AoE CC.
