Single Targets

Agony
Cast on target, and always keep it up.

Corruption
Cast on target, and always keep it up.

Unstable Affliction
Cast on target, and always keep it up.

Haunt
Use when you have a Soul Shard or if you’re in Shadow Trance. When you enter Shadow Trance, you can cast spells for 5 seconds, and they don’t cost any Soul Shards.

Malefic Grasp
Only use when you have all your dots up and Haunt isn’t available.

Drain Soul
When target is below 20%, start using this instead of Malefic Grasp.

Soulburn/Soul Swap
When you have tons of Soul Shards from using Drain Soul, start using Soulburn and Soul Swap to refresh dots.

Multiple Targets

SoulBurn/Seed of Corruption
Start with Soulburn, then cast Seed of Corruption.

Soulburn/Soul Swap
While Seeds are ticking, use both spells to keep up all of your dots.

Drain Soul
When you start seeing mobs below 20%, use Drain Soul to get your Soul Shards back.

Rain of Fire
If you have a ton of enemies, just spam Rain of Fire. The more the better.

Single Targets

Conflagrate
You should be casting this as often as you can.

Chaos Bolt
Cast whenever you get Burning Embers. Unless you have 3 Backdraft charges, it’s way more efficient to use the charges for Incinerate.

Cast, and make sure it’s always up.

Incinerate
Start casting to build up those Burning Embers.

Shadowburn
When target is at 20% start using Shadowburn instead of Chaos Bolt.

Multiple Targets

Normal Rotation
Keep up your rotation on at least one enemy, so you can continue to build up Burning Embers.

Fire and Brimstone/Immolate
Get at least ten Burning Embers, then cast Fire and Brimstone, followed by a Immolate. This will apply Immolate to all targets.

Rain of Fire
Cast as much as you can.
