While it is hard to gauge when the two-minute windows are prior to learning Serpent's Ire, it is still important to try and feed as much potency as you can into them. Below is a rotation showing how to do so, based on your current level.

Which GCDs these are is flexible, but you should try to end on one of your basic combo GCDs before Reawaken.

Your filler is generally just your basic 123 combo rotations. Keep them rolling as much as possible, avoid overcapping any cooldowns.

Your filler is generally just your basic 123 combo rotations. Keep them rolling as much as possible, avoid overcapping any cooldowns and your Uncoiled Fury stacks.

Due to Reawaken's potency, your Vicewinder actions are part of your filler. Avoid capping the stacks on them as best as possible. You will also be using 1 Reawaken combo in-between your even-minute bursts, around about the odd-minute marks.

Your 123, Vicewinder, and Uncoiled Fury make up your filler, in-between burst windows. Don't overcap any resources or cooldowns and use the various buttons to adjust your rotation cleanly to set up the burst with a 123 hit just before the first shot of Reawaken. You will also be using 1 Reawaken combo in-between your even-minute bursts, around about the odd-minute marks.

• Writhing Snap should only be used when forced away from the target for longer than one GCD spin. Also very useful to engage new enemies in the overworld or dungeons.
• Uncoiled Fury should be saved in situations where you know you will be forced off the boss for longer than one GCD spin. It is a very strong disengaging tool, but be mindful of losing Auto-Attack uptime.
• Slither can be used to quickly engage with enemies or dash to allies for safety in stacks and dodging mechanics when you are moving slowly. It is generally advised to press this to start encounters.

• Identical to the above single-target rotations.

  • You will want to occasionally use your single-target rotation to maintain your buffs during multi-target scenarios.
  • These actions operate under the same concept as your basic 123 single-target actions. Shown here is just a way of keeping them straight in your head as you go - there is no requirement to use them exactly in this order, just always be sure to press a button that has the yellow ants around it.
  • Use your Vicepit combo whenever available to hit 3 or more targets with it.
  • Use your Vicepit combo whenever available to hit 3 or more targets with it. Be sure to properly follow up with your Twinfang Thresh and Twinblood Thresh off-global actions.
  • Be sure to execute Reawaken whenever available. It is always a gain to catch multiple targets in the natural cleaving area-of-effect from the combo.
