Of openers and rotations

[nilh]

Basically, the Opener is a certain amount of time where you use the skills and buffs you have in a certain manner that can't be upkept for the entire fight (often combined with potions as well).

Thanks Atoli this makes sense

However it seems the normal rotation is not just the opener minus the long cooldown support skills? At least in the guides I have read, it is not presented this way and a lot less emphasis is given to the normal rotation even though this takes up most of the fight. I might be wrong though?
