⚡ Lazy Sorc – Rotation Overview

The rotation is extremely simple. Maintain Critical Surge and continuously hold your Heavy Attack.

The important part is that you can press your next skill while the Heavy Attack is still charging. As long as you continue holding the Heavy Attack button and do not release it, the skill will automatically fire as soon as the Heavy Attack finishes. This removes gaps in your rotation and keeps your damage flowing smoothly.

🔁 Rotation

  • Maintain Critical Surge.
  • Heavy Attack → Unstable Wall of Elements
  • Heavy Attack → Bound Armaments
  • Heavy Attack → Unstable Wall of Elements
  • Heavy Attack → Bound Armaments
  • Repeat.

Simply keep holding Heavy Attack and alternate between Unstable Wall of Elements and Bound Armaments. The skills will queue automatically and fire at the end of each Heavy Attack without interrupting the rotation.
