-Ley lines is the buff (diagram on the floor) we saw on the benchmark video, rough translation so the name might be different, you have to stay inside the lines and it only applies to the blm so if someone else steps in it won't benefit from it, if you step out if it you lose the buff. The buff causes haste.

-Sharp cast is a buff for insta proc, say you cast any fire it will give you fire proc, thunder will give you thunder proc.

-Enochian mode allows use of F4/B4. If you use Fire 4 you can renew Enochian but each renewal is shortened by 5 seconds

-Fire 4

-Blizzard 4

The Haste Field sounds a little bit pointless to me. We are going to waste a remarkable time of the buff with umbral ice.

The Fire 4/Blizzard 4-thing sounds neat to me.

Fire 4 - Firagaga
Blizzard 4 - Blizzarara

Haste will be spectacular for a straight-up burn against enrage scenario. I love it.

Heard from the grapevine (*cough* saw it on reddit) that f4 and b4 don't refresh astral/umbral.

So it looks like the current rotation will essentially still be going on in the background while we try to maintain and refresh Enochian uptime (as far as I can tell). Sounds pretty fun. Definitely gonna like those new cooldowns as well (sharp cast fire for st, sharp cast thunder for multitarget awwwwwyeah).

Any other speculation about how the new rotation might look?

You can only use F4/B4 while under the Enochian buff which lasts 30 seconds and every time you renew it, it becomes 5 seconds shorter so my guess is the rotation will probably vary quite a bit.

Didn't Yoshida say that B4 refreshes Enochian or something? Or have I misheard.

They said you can refresh Enochian which enables you to B4/F4 (you can't B4/F4 without Enochian), and you can refresh Enochian but the effect wears down minus 5 secs each time you renew it.

So I'm assuming it will look something like: Fire 3 > Enochian > Fire > Fire 4 > Fire till low > Blizz 3 > Thunder > Blizz 4 > Fire 3 > Repeat minus Enochian since it will still be up.

Not sure how many Fire 4's will be able to do in a single rotation.

Yah, I heard correctly. The refresh comes from B4.

Furthermore, you can also lengthen the effect duration of Enochian by casting Blizzard IV. Every time you lengthen it, the effect duration will become 5 seconds shorter, but as long you continue to cast Blizzard IV you will be able to maintain the effect of Enochian. There will be a lot ways to maintain this effect with existing abilities such as casting Blizzard IV with Swiftcast.
