There are a few things that have been bothering me:

1:Qtfy on fresh air build says after i use overcharge air and the lightningstorm sigil, i should go and use meteor then summon fiery greatsword.Is there a reason for that?

2:Lava font to be useful has to be reapplied every 15-20 seconds to get most benefits on bosses.

3:Overcharge air would be up again by the time you cast lava font and meteor shower spell.

4:meteor shower would be less useful on smaller targets, so it would be less worth casting?

5:why fiery greatsword over ice bow?

You are supposed to use both FGS and IB with the current power staff rotation.

FGS only serves purpose for some attacks after you change to air and you don’t want to aa air so you use your hard hitting skills on FGS until air overload is up and then swap back to fire and do the rotation again. With the high cooldown on FGS is only there for a one time per rotation.

They called us TEMPESTs, but we can use our elite to cheat death instead

1. The rotation goes to Firestorm (Glyph of Storms) if it’s available after Meteor Swarm, not Conjure Fiery Greatsword? You use CFG when you switch back to Air, because Air Staff’s skills are terrible DPS. CFG makes up for that while you wait for Overload Air to charge.

2. Not sure what you’re asking here. Do you think it needs to be used more often or less?

3. You’re getting the most out of Fire that you can while you’re in it, because those Fire skills will outdamage Overload Air.

4. The build is heavy on AOEs, which are natively less effective against small targets unless there are a lot of them. What else would you propose using, though?

5. CFG is an elite skill, so you can have both. They recommend Lightning Hammer over Ice Bow, mostly due to the autoattack and the fact you’ll need to spend more time with it equipped. Ice Bow is better if you only need to pop two attacks to fill a gap in your rotation.
