AMPs

If you want to play a little with a skill builder, this build is also on Ws-Base or JabbitHole.

Rotation

Simple Rotation, use Spell Surged Arcane Missiles on Cooldown followed by Spell Surged Ignite when the DoT has disappeared to keep Ignite DoT & Arcane Missiles debuff on your target.

• Quick Draw as an opener (For +10% Damage Tier 8 buff)
• Spell Surged Arcane Missiles
• Spell Surged Ignite
• Spell Surged Assassinate (Unless target is under 30% HP, then dump your Spell Surge on the following Quick Draw instead)
• Quick Draw until Arcane Missiles Cooldown, you will have more than 2 casts Spell Surged at this time
• Use Flame Burst on Cooldown
• Rinse & Repeat

With Trigger Finger AMP, Arcane Missiles Cooldown and Ignite DoT duration are more or less the same.
The last tick of Ignite is the most powerful one, never re-apply Ignite before it falls off of your target.

Visual Help

Adjusting the Build

If you are under 48 Ability Points

Arcane Missiles is the only skill to downrank.
While waiting for the last 5 Ability Points for Arcane Missile Tier 8, put points in Flame Burst.

If you are under 55 AMP Points

Drop Urgency AMP (Hybrid A/S).

In Dungeons

In dungeons, Interrupts are more valuable than DPS, so drop Arcane Missiles to Tier 4 and take Gate to Tier 4.

Another Spellslinger plays with Withering Magic AMP

Drop it and take something else (Like Critical Severity).

Another Spellslinger plays with Arcane Missiles

Do not take Arcane Missiles and bring Flame Burst to Tier 8 instead.
