Spellslinger Ignite Build with Arcane Missiles & Flame Burst

	Base	Flame Burst Magical Damage A quick damaging spell off the GCD usable after a critical hit. Does not use Spell Surge. T4 reduces it’s cooldown after using a magic ability, T8 adds more damage if used with Ignite or Charged Shot. Use on Cooldown.
	Base	Assassinate Physical Damage Our “Execute” skill, comes with two charges. Inflicts more damage if used on target < 30% HP or Surged. T4 adds an additional charge, T8 is not for PvE. Assassinate consumes Spell Surge even if target is under 30% HP.
	Tier 8	Arcane Missiles Magical Damage Our Magic Debuff skill, very useful with a raid full of Espers and Spellslingers. T4 gives you more Spell Power, T8 gives you a boost to your magic damage. Use on Cooldown to keep the debuff.

Remaining slots in your LAS are up to you.

AMPs

Spellslinger Ignite Build AMP

If you want to play a little with a skill builder, this build is also on Ws-Base or JabbitHole.

Rotation

Simple Rotation, use Spell Surged Arcane Missiles on Cooldown followed by Spell Surged Ignite when the DoT has disappeared to keep Ignite DoT & Arcane Missiles debuff on your target.

• Quick Draw as an opener (For +10% Damage Tier 8 buff)
• Spell Surged Arcane Missiles
• Spell Surged Ignite
• Spell Surged Assassinate (Unless target is under 30% HP, then dump your Spell Surge on the following Quick Draw instead)
• Quick Draw until Arcane Missiles Cooldown, you will have more than 2 casts Spell Surged at this time
• Use Flame Burst on Cooldown
• Rinse & Repeat

With Trigger Finger AMP, Arcane Missiles Cooldown and Ignite DoT duration are more or less the same.
The last tick of Ignite is the most powerful one, never re-apply Ignite before it falls off of your target.

Visual Help

Adjusting the Build

If you are under 48 Ability Points

Arcane Missiles is the only skill to downrank.
While waiting for the last 5 Ability Points for Arcane Missile Tier 8, put points in Flame Burst.

If you are under 55 AMP Points

Drop Urgency AMP (Hybrid A/S).

In Dungeons

In dungeons, Interrupts are more valuable than DPS, so drop Arcane Missiles to Tier 4 and take Gate to Tier 4.

Another Spellslinger plays with Withering Magic AMP

Drop it and take something else (Like Critical Severity).

Do not take Arcane Missiles and bring Flame Burst to Tier 8 instead.
