    In a situation with a countdown timer I do:

    Hardcast verthunder (5 seconds left on countdown), dualcasted veraero, swiftcast, acceleration, verthunder, tincture (can ignore this if you aren't raiding), verthunder again, embolden, manafication, then start your melee combo and weave in fleche and contre sixte between each swing, following up with the movement sword skills between each flare/holy/scorch/resolution.

    Otherwise in the average run where someone pulls without countdowns or it's a dungeon where no one does a countdown then I just wing it, go into my melee phase with embolden and manafication. Acceleration is best used as a movement tool and to proc verfire or verstone (use acceleration on thunder or aero, in dungeon pulls you can use it on impact since it gets a damage buff under acceleration). You can sit on one stack of acceleration (just don't let it sit at 2 for too long) if you need it to move or to proc fire/stone as jolt is used only if you have no other options to start with.

    Acceleration got changed from shadowbringers since it now instantly casts the 3 affected spells, verthunder, Veraero, and Impact.

    Edit: In situations where dualcast and acceleration are both up, it uses one of them, not both. So you'll still instant cast again due to the other buff being present for the next relevant spell.
