Notes, Tips and Tactics

• Elemental Mastery buff can be dispelled.
• Avoid using the Elemental Mastery, [Flame Shock], [Lava Burst] combo as your first attack as the burst damage is sure to pull aggro.
• Useful if Flame Shock is about to run out: hit Elemental Mastery followed up by Lava burst to get the guaranteed crit. (Remember, as long as the Lava Burst spell is traveling, it will get a crit, even if Flame Shock has worn off.)
• Great for when Herosim/Bloodlust is popped.
