Heal Rotation Mage (Source: Scott)


This is the quantity and type of runes you will need to make the above tileset:

Heal Fire Rotation Mage - Rune Meanings
ᛗ: 2 hits a second

ᚢ: Fireball

ᛟ: Affliction

ᚾ: 3 hits a second

ᛏ: Heal (Received) - is triggered by anything that heals you

Heal Fire Rotation Mage Use Description
Rotation for Fire Tiles: Fire Spamming + Healing. You must be able to get the 2 hits a second tile when casting (which is generally if you're a practiced mage).

Heal + Fire Tileset: ᛗᚢᛏ and ᚾᚢᛏ

For normal rotation: affliction and fire or fire and affliction.

Frequency: If fireball spamming consistently, this should proc every second.

Average interference: ~2%. ᛗ and ᛏ will proc every second but may not off due to the orbus timer. More if you have delay tiles or cast at a 3 hits a second rather than 2.

= How to Read a Mage Using Runesight =

Below will be the main points to track for when watching a mage with runesight on:
 * What is their rotation is?
 * This will determine which of attack tiles
 * How fast are they casting their spells?
 * If they are fast enough, you may see no attack delay tiles. If newer, or before casting harder spells, these may appear and can be used in a set.
 * The hit per second tiles.
 * Do they want a healing set?
 * Mages usually stand close enough to the boss that they would get bounce heals from the healer. This is an easy way to get a set.

The answers to each of these questions will change which tilesets are used for the mage in question.
