How I Play My Level 130 Mage

• Role: Pet-driven fire DPS plus pet utility (Call of the Hero, Mod Rod).
• Pet of choice: Water elemental. Air pet only matters if your warrior actually needs the stuns.
• Pet damage share: Roughly 25-30% of total in most fights.
• AA status: Almost max. ~65,000 AAs total, ~15,000 hand-spent, the rest auto-granted. Numbers in this video are not max-AA performance.
• Multibind: Everything on the 5 button. Push once, the whole rotation fires.

• Twincast: Doubles your next nukes. One of the strongest DPS abilities in the game.
• Rampaging Servant: Swarm pet, near-instant cast, hits ~100k per swing. Triggers Conjurer's Synergy. Can off-tank equivalent-level mobs for the duration.
• Shock of the Many: Damage scales with the number of pets in the area. ~23k with no pets, ~100k at three pets, ~177k at seven or more.
• Chaotic Fire: 140k nuke that has a chance to proc one of several Chaotic Fire buffs (extra damage, crit, etc.). Spam to roll the dice.
• Spear of Ro: 185k base nuke. Observed Twincast crits in the 6 million range during testing.
• Shock of Malaise VII: Malo plus a damage component. Lands a Malo and chains into Shock of Blades / lucky Twincast procs. Easy multibind add.
• Molten Dacite Orb (summoned): 10-charge clicky that casts Bolt of Molten Dacite (~46k base). Twincasts, focused by the Bolt line, scaled by Blaze of Fire. Worth the resummon.
• Reciprocal Companion: Big pet power buff.
• Gather Potential VIII: 12s mana refund cast. On the multibind so it fires when the pool drops.
• Valiant Symbiosis: Pet HP into mage mana. Always running.
• Call of the Hero (group): Memorized at all times. Best spell in the game, full stop.
• Water Elemental: Pet. Backstabs for ~115k when positioned behind.
• Burning Veil: 58k damage shield buff for the tank.
• Blazing Blast: 35k point-blank AoE for clearing low-level trash on top of you.

Synergy chain: Rampaging Servant is the synergy spell. It enables Conjurer's Synergy, which boosts Shock of the Many. The chain is the whole reason you stack pets.

• Burnout (current rank): Pet haste line. Spell name is mislabeled in Shattering of Ro and gets fixed next patch.
• Iceflame Guard XII: Pet absorb buff.
• Circle of Fireskin XVI: Damage shield. ~152k per hit. Big enough that the boss adds in 130 missions chunk themselves down without you touching them.
• Arcane Distillect Aura: Pet damage boost aura.
• Companion's Aegis: Pet buff cast on cooldown. Keeps the pet alive even if the tank goes down.
• Host in the Shell: 5-minute pet rune, 4-minute reuse. Effectively permanent.

• Modulation Shard 9 in the assist key slot, fires every cooldown.
• Rampaging Servant → Twincast → Shock of the Many → Chaotic Fire → Spear of Ro → Shock of Malaise VII.
• Reciprocal Companion for pet power.
• Arcane Whisper: Aggro reduction.
• Host of Elements: +3 swarm pets at level 132.
• Force of Elements: Instant 58k AA nuke.
• Servant of Ro: Giant fire elemental, 300k Firebolt at level 131.
• Companion of Necessity: AoE taunt pet.
• Turn Summoned: ~1 million damage to summoned targets with a 650k chained proc.
• Companion's Aegis, Elemental Conversion AA (15min reuse, fires when up), Gather Potential VIII, Host in the Shell.
• Molten Dacite Orb item bound to fire on cooldown.
• Pet Swarm (sends swarm pets to current target) and Pet Attack.
• Stand bound for AoE knockdowns so you auto-recover without thinking.

Push the button: On a 115 target dummy this rotation sustains around 1.5 million DPS with one finger and zero attention. Pet contributes ~140k of that.

• Silent Casting: Aggro reduction. Open with this.
• Heart of Skyfire: Spell damage boost.
• Spire of the Arcanist: Hit point and damage scaling.
• Improved Twincast: Stack on top of the Twincast spell.
• Forceful Rejuvenation: Resets cooldowns so you can fire the rest again.
• Focus of Arcanum + Focus of the Thaumaturge: Cast time and damage focus.
• Frenzied Devotion: Pet damage.
• Zeal of the Elements (breastplate click): Next 8 pet bashes/backstabs proc Companion Assault for 45k each. Massive.
• Burn 3 / Glyph of Ultimate Power: Slot zero, used when max AA. Not yet on this character.

• Two-hander: Arcane Staff of Unraveling Order.
• Armor: Flameweaver XXX of Unraveling Order.
• Arms: Flameweaver Sleeves of Unraveling Order. Carries Blazing Malice II for +31% fire damage focus.
• Helmet: Flameweaver Cap of Unraveling Order. Carries Foretold Surge II for +35% magic damage focus, which matters because Shock of Malaise VII is on the multibind.
• Earring: Summoner's Earring of Unraveling Order. Carries Focus Enhanced Minion XXXI to empower the level 125+ pet.
• Ring: Rings of the Harbinger (The Outer Brood).
• Neck: Collars of Legacies Lost (Laurion's Song).
• Cloak: Cloaks of the Selenelion (Night of Shadows).
• Mask: Mask of the Vortex (Shattering of Ro).
• Power source: Riven Arcana Conjuror Source.

• Sort focus AAs by cost and only buy ranks for spells you actually cast.
• Max: Focus Shock of the Many, Conjurer's Synergy, Hasten Rampaging Servant.
• Working on: Flames of Power, Crepuscular Fire, Fickle Conflagration (Chaotic Fire line), Shock of Dark Steel (Shock of Blades line), Spear of the Molten Shield (Spear of Ro line).
• Skip: Rain spell focuses (not on the bar).
• Defensive: Companion's Fortification, Aegis, and Destructive Fear are worth the points even if you box. Pet heal AAs are not, since spam-nuking keeps the pet topped via Chaotic Boon.
• Reminder: Reach level 120 first to grab all the auto-grants before spending manually.

What AAs do I get? All of them. There's no other answer. Prioritize the ones you actually use, then come back and clean up the rest.
