    Actually, RDM is more complex than that. I won't deny it's an easy class but New players will need to understand the following to do better DPS:

    -Use off global cooldown (o-GCD) abilities like Fleche and Contra Sixte when your GCD abilities get locked, such as after using an insta-cast Veraero/Thunder from dualcast.

    So a better rotation would be:

    At the start of a dungeon use Vercure to get a Dualcast Proc. Then use the Proc to hit the first mob with
    Scatter > Fleche> Veraero/Thunder 2 > Contre Sixte > Scatter > Swiftcast > Scatter

    I put Fleche first in case the Tank is running and building a bigger mob. You'll want the Contre to hit more enemies. The rotation may vary depending on if you have time to stay to cast. Embolden is also an o-GCD, so you may also want to (Dualcast) Scatter > Embolden

    Another option is to start with swiftcast and use scatter while running after a mob. Also remember that swiftcast provides more global cooldown time to use your oGCDs.



    I'm not an RDM main, so maybe someone that is can provide even better Rotations. Plus mine is only at Lvl 71.

    I remember reading the aoe rotation changes with 2 or 3 pack mobs to substitute scatter with Aero/ Ver 1. Again, would be best to read an aoe guide or if an RDM main could clarify.
    I think you can also use Enchanted Moulentte up to 5 times if you get up to 80, burn two back down to 40, and then use Manification.
