> Mage DPM Advice 
This channel will go over general damage output lessons, ability prioritisation, crafting a rotation, a learning path, common mistakes, and tips and tricks.
For general PvM terminology, DPS tips, and revolution bars, check out their respective sections in #General DPM FAQ
> Ability Prioritisation
⬥ Generally, high damaging abilities should be prioritised and used more often than low damaging abilities.
⬥ To compare abilities, use RS Analysis' Magic Page, and add your gear.
Note: This does not give an ability rotation, only a damage comparison chart. It does not consider Ability Cooldowns, Adrenaline, or any specific PvM encounter.
Weapon Choice
Since Magic does not have abilities that require a specific weapon equipped among 2-hand (2H) or dual wield (DW), weapon choice is largely decided by the highest tier weapon accessible at the current level of progression, with a few extra considerations
⬥ Damaging auto-attacks 
are stronger with 2H and most instances of them within rotations are assumed to be cast with 2H
⬥ At the highest tiers, the passive effect of Fractured Staff of Armadyl (FSoA) 
generally overtake that of Sanctum DW 
at ~20-30% critical strike chance
> Building a Magic Rotation
⬥ Similar to other styles, a typical Magic rotation uses the strongest basics available to build adrenaline, and spends it on the strongest available thresholds, ultimates, or special attacks.
• To achieve this, we must think about the following key considerations:
⬩ Ability Cooldowns
⬩ Adrenaline
⬩ Spell Effects 
⬩ Boss HP and phases
• If these considerations are well accounted for, you will be able to improvise rotations effectively.
This section does not cover advanced setups with FSoA and Tumeken's Resplendence gear 
See Advanced Rotations section further down for info on magic rotations with best-in-slot gear.*
Basic Pattern
If Greater Concentrated Blast 
is not unlocked, use the regular version 
below
⬥ Greater Concentrated Blast should form the foundation of your rotation
• Aside from being the ideal filler ability, it also provides a critical strike chance buff on the following ability
⬥ The basic pattern uses often, in 'blocks' of 3 abilities:
● [ → Ability → Ability ] → Repeat
⬥ When building adrenaline, fill the empty slots with strong basics like the following, prioritising those that can critically strike immediately after :
● Dragon Breath 
● Wrack 
● Combust (Walked) 
● Corruption Blast 
⬥ The critical strike chance boost gained through is wasted if the following ability cannot critically strike
• Examples include damage-over-time (DoT) abilities such as /
• These can still be strong basics to use as the third ability in each block (the one not boosted by )
Sunshine
It is assumed that either the Planted Feet perk 
or Greater Sunshine unlock has been obtained 
for the purposes of this guide
⬥ Sunshine lasts 38.4 seconds, but only has a 60 second cooldown. We want to prioritise building to 100% adrenaline and using Sunshine often, as it boosts damage by 50%.
● The exception to this is when the fight would end too quickly, or mechanics occur, and you can't benefit from the full duration
● Ideally, enter boss fights with 100% adrenaline so you can activate it immediately at the start
⬥ Both in and out of Sunshine , you will want to prioritise your strong thresholds, special attacks, and modified ultimates:
● Igneous Omnipower 
● Wild Magic 
● Smoke Tendrils 
● Asphyxiate 
● Detonate 
● Deep Impact (Flanking) 
● Iban's Staff (EoF) 
● Guthix Staff (EoF) 
⬥ A typical rotation involves building adrenaline to cast + as early as possible to be able to use them a second time before ends
⬥ While waiting for cooldown, you can use a few more thresholds and DoTs
● You do not want to needlessly camp 100% adrenaline, and can start building when is nearly ready to use again.
Tips
⬥ Any basic ability with damage lower than Wrack , Sonic Wave 
, or Concentrated Blast is considered a weak ability and should be avoided when possible. Sometimes you may be forced to use them. Don't sweat it too much.
● Chain 
● Impact (no Flank) 
● Combust (not walked)
● Tuska's Wrath 
● Sacrifice 
(for damage purposes)
⬥ Keep in mind that Asphyxiate and Smoke Tendrils are channelled abilities and should be cancelled with the next ability after 8 ticks, or during the last segment of their channel bars
• is typically cancelled after 2 hits/3t if there are enough available abilities to fill out the rotation without the additional hits
> Spells and Autocast
Magic spells can be set to autocast, which essentially 'selects' them to use with your abilities. Think of this like picking your ammo for a ranged weapon. When using abilities, stronger spells can increase your ability damage, similar to ranged ammo. If you don't press an ability, then the selected spell gets used for auto attacks.
Important Notes:
⬥ All spells have a damage limit they can scale up to. For example, Air Surge 
is unlocked at level 81, but scales up to level 99, with the damage being capped by your weapon tier
• This is important, because your autocast must scale at least up to your weapon tier
⬥ The element of a spell does not affect its damage, but it can affect hitchance if a monster is weak to that element
⬥ Some spells like or will only give their passive benefits if selected as autocast
What Autocast to Use
⬥ To autocast a spell, right-click it in your spellbook and select 'autocast'
⬥ Generally you should be autocasting either Exsanguinate or alternatively Incite Fear if you plan to use Tsunami 
• Advanced rotations aim to swap between both to upkeep the effects of both spells
⬥ If the City of Senntisten quest is not completed, use Blood Blitz/Barrage 
/
⬥ If on the standard/normal spellbook, use the highest rank of air spell available (assuming affinity is not a concern)
Benefits
⬥ Tsunami's crit buff 
can greatly reduce the need for basic abilities to build adrenaline during
• amplifies this further by reducing the adrenaline cost of itself
⬥ If using Exsanguinate , Wrack and Ruin 
is a strong basic if the alternative is weaker than Dragon Breath
⬥ Other ancient spells / 
have a chance to proc their secondary effects off abilities
Debuff Spells
⬥ You should always have Vulnerability 
and Smoke Cloud 
applied wherever bosses are not immune to their effects
⬥ It is preferred to use Vulnerability bombs 
instead of the spell as they are lossless
⬥ Use Entangle 
if you need a long bind while on the Standard spellbook
Autoattacks
⬥ It is possible to autocast one spell but use another spell to manually cast magic autos, such as with 4-tick Auto Attacks (4TAA) or defensive autos
⬥ Usually done to keep autocast set to or while still gaining the benefits of or
⬥ Important: Manual spellcasting must be enabled for this to work, otherwise inputting a spell will also change your autocast to that spell
• Use !manualspellcasting to learn more
⬥ All instances of auto-attacks in rotations should be cast with staff unless otherwise specified.
Defensive Autos
While colloquially referred to as 'defensive' autos, they may also be called 'free' autos, since some non-defensive abilities interact the same way. Examples include Sunshine and Metamorphosis 
For a thorough explanation of how defensive autos (and auto attacks in general) work, refer to #auto-attacks. Here, we will simply cover some of their uses.
Why Defensive Autos Exist
⬥ Generally, casting any ability will put your auto-attack on cooldown based on your weapon speed
⬥ However, non-damaging abilities do not cause this cooldown
• This means that defensive autos can be used within your main ability rotation
⬥ Magic in particular can keybind auto attacks by dragging spells on to the ability bar
• This allows the style to 'force' a auto-attacks once their cooldown is available by manually inputting them
⬥ They should always be used where applicable since they are simply free damage
Common Applications
⬥ Autoing with Sunshine .
● Sunshine is a non-damaging ability, allowing a defensive auto with the next ability:
⬩ → +
● This can also be used to apply Smoke Cloud but can be used for other debuffs like Vuln or Enfeeble 
⬥ Rapidly casting autos for utility or adren-building
● Spamming multiple defensives with a target selected and using dual-wield can also generate adrenaline faster, since auto-attacks provide adren if they hit a target
4-Tick Auto Attack (4TAA)
⬥ As mentioned before, casting auto-attacks or damaging abilities will put your auto-attack on cooldown:
● Staff abilities place it on a 6t (3.6s) cooldown
● Dual wield abilities place it on a 4t (2.4s) cooldown
⬥ Combining these, we get 4TAA: using an ability with wand/orb and delaying the next ability by one tick, to force an auto and ability together on the 4th tick.
⬥ 2H autos are multiple times stronger than DW autos, therefore:
• Damaging 4-tick autos are almost always staff autos
• Non-damaging 4-tick autos can be cast with either staff or dual wield
⬥ The basic 4TAA structure is: non-channelled DW Ability → 2H auto + ability → continue.
● The ability before the auto must be a non-channelled DW so that a 4-tick auto cooldown is incurred.
⬥ With Greater Concentrated Blast unlocked, it is important to ensure its usage is not delayed. This means that 4TAA in rotations will be structured using two types of patterns. Both patterns are built in groups of three abilities, with one and one 2H auto per group.
● Method A: + DW/Staff ability → → non-channelled DW ability → Repeat
● Method B: + → DW/Staff ability → non-channelled DW ability → Repeat
Common Mistakes and Tips
⬥ Going too fast
● Not waiting for 1t delay after global cooldown (GCD) ends will prevent the auto from being cast.
⬥ Going too slow
● If you delay longer than 1t it usually results in a 5TAA, delaying the auto/ability (lost ticks), which is a large DPS loss.
⬥ When done correctly, you will see the auto attack projectile fired with the ability
⬥ Use proper, easy-to-reach keybinds as some steps require you to perform multiple actions in one tick
⬥ Despite not being channelled abilities, and 
do not allow for 4TAA afterwards
⬥ Most of the time, your rotations will only include a few instances of 4TAA per cycle of Sunshine due to magic having plenty of strong abilities to fill the duration of
Reading Auto-Attacks in Rotations
Reading whether an auto is a defensive auto or 4TAA within a rotation simply depends on the ability that comes before
⬥ After non-damaging abilities: usually a defensive auto
• → +
⬩ No delay between GCDs
⬥ After damaging abilities: usually a 4TAA
• → +
⬩ Implies (DW) → (switch to staff + 4t) +

The following unlocks are assumed:
⬥ Ring of Vigour 
or its passive effect after Extinction quest

> Important Ability Mechanics
Certain Magic abilities are worth noting in particular, due to their behaviour and how they can be used. Here, we cover some of these abilities.
Greater Concentrated Blast
⬥ Greater Concentrated Blast is an upgraded version of regular Concentrated Blast that remains a channelled ability, but has increased damage, and all 3 hits can be used within 3t/1.8s, or 1 global cooldown.
⬥ This is the strongest magic basic ability available
⬥ It has good synergy with stacking spells like Exsanguinate and Incite Fear , crit effects such as Tsunami and Fractured Staff of Armadyl special attack
Detonate
⬥ Pressing once charges the ability, and pressing again releases it, dealing AoE damage.
● Takes 4t/2.4s to reach 100% with Blast Diffusion Boots , 6t/3.6s otherwise.
● AoE radius depends on charge % - see reference image: https://img.pvme.io/images/KP6RCFz4ym.png.
⬥ is centred differently with and without a target:
● If you cast without a target, it is centred on your player.
● If you cast with a target, it is centred on that target's coordinate at the time charging started.
⬩ If a target is 2x2 or larger, this is their southwest tile.
⬥ If a selected target dies while detonate is still being cast:
● If you target cycle to another target, the detonate will remain centred on the original (dead) target's coordinate.
● If you do not target cycle, the centre will be shifted to your player coordinate.
⬥ The initial charge of acts like a defensive in the context of defensive autos.
● Auto cooldown is not incurred until its release, meaning you can release it with an auto and the next ability in your rotation.
⬩ Example: (charge) → + (release) +
⬩ The hit timing and input order here are crucial: + + must be executed in that order, on the same tick.
⬥ You can do the following while charging , without interrupting the ability:
● Switch weapons 
● Throw bombs 
● Spellbook swap 
(the following spell will still cancel )
⬥ You can stall the release of .
Known Issues with Detonate
⬥ Sometimes, Detonate will cost 30% adrenaline instead of 15%.
● This can be explained as follows: the game thinks you both have and don't have a target at the same time, so it uses adrenaline from both your target and the adrenaline inherently used from using it without a target.
● To prevent this, try casting any damaging ability before Detonate .
⬥ Casting Detonate on the same tick your target dies will cancel the charge completely.
Greater Chain 
Note: For a brief summary, use !gchain.
⬥ is an upgraded version of . It hits the target, as well 2 additional targets within a 6 tile radius. These targets then taken 50% damage from the next ability used on the main target.
● With Caroming 4 
, the number of additional targets hit with 
can be increased up to 6.
⬥ If the main target dies, this effect will be lost.
⬥ Use a powerful ability on the main target like → , or with high hitting special attacks such as
⬥ Using damage-over-time abilities like will apply their full damage to all targets, rather than only 50%.
⬥ It can be used to briefly stun multiple targets with stun abilities such as 
Notes
⬥ Chaining effect does not apply to the following abilities:
● Magma Tempest
● Dragon Breath
● Tsunami
● Reprisal 
● Shatter 
⬥ These abilities work but will damage you for each additional target:
● Smoke Tendrils
● Onslaught 
Magma Tempest
⬥ Magma Tempest is an ability unlocked by reading the Magma Tempest Ability Codex, and deals continuous damage in a 5x5 area for 8 hits over 9.6 seconds.
⬥ Has a targeted 
variant that allows you to cast it onto a selected ground tile, which does not require a targeted enemy to be cast.
• Good for setting up a bit of damage before an enemy has spawned or for enemies that are still walking into range, but this variant does not build a stack of or
⬥ Notably, Magma Tempest deals damage over time, but is not considered a DoT for the purposes of Sanctum dual wield weapons or Sunshine boost
• This means that it does not build 
stacks, but does receive the damage boost from , unlike other DoTs
• This makes it a decently strong ability in and, if used beforehand, the damage will adjust after receiving the buff.
Guthix Staff/Zamorak Staff/Iban Staff Special Attack 
⬥ These are amongst the first options that magic users should get for their EoF
● (25% adren) increases affinity by +2 for 1 minute → this is a great way to effectively increase hitchance
● (25% adren) lowers the target's magic level by 5% (of the previous value) and lowers its accuracy by 5% for 1 minute
● (50% adren) has no secondary effect but deals much higher damage at the cost of more adrenaline
⬥ Iban's is mainly worth using after , as it has the highest average damage increase from 's critical strike chance boost
• i.e. if adrenaline is available for , it's generally worthwhile to wait for the next to cast it
Armadyl Battlestaff (ABS) EoF 
⬥ The special attack of the Armadyl Battlestaff (ABS) , Tempest of Armadyl, is a channel that lasts 5t/3s, dealing 45-55% ability damage per tick, increasing by 5% per hit
⬥ It should only be used during to fish for rapid critical strikes, but only breaks even with Iban's if comboed with all critical strike chance buffs and Channeler's ring 
⬥ Generally, is not worth using over other options due to having lower average damage per tick and 5t channel being clumsier to slot into rotations
Reaver's Ring vs Channeller's Ring
⬥ Reaver's Ring grants +5% critical strike chance on all hits, while Channeller's Ring grants +4% critical strike chance on channelled ability , stacking for each additional hit
⬥ It may seem that Channeller's Ring pulls ahead due to the abundance of channelled abilities available to magic . However, the following should be considered:
• Channeller's Ring does not buff Lightning Surge hits from FSoA's special attack
• Some of magic's strongest abilities consist of , , , which do not benefit from Channeller's Ring
• does not benefit from the critical strike chance portion of Channeller's Ring, whereas the subsequent guaranteed Lightning Surges when using it during benefit from Reaver's Ring.
• Channeller's Ring however has incredible synergy with Tumeken's Resplendence 4-piece effect that buffs
⬥ Therefore, the general recommendation is Channeller's Ring when using (4-piece), and otherwise Reaver's Ring when hit chance is not an issue
> Advanced Rotations
This section is focused on advanced strategies that make full use of all the tools that magic has to offer. Players looking to optimise around auto-attacks , Fractured Staff of Armadyl , Sanctum dual-wield weapons , and Tumeken's Resplendence should use this section as a reference.
⬥ Rotations will assume bis or near-bis setups with proper stacking of and
⬥ For boss-specific rotations, see their respective guides
Sanctum Dual Wield Weapons
Use !sanctumdw and !essencecorruption for a summary on their effects
When utilising essence corruption effects, it's important to focus on the following:
⬥ Building stacks during is inefficient, but a single DoT use is required to keep stacks from falling off
• The best option for this is itself, since the first hit is not a DoT and is boosted by
⬥ Using a DoT / immediately before allows us to refresh at around 15s remaining on
• The usual timer is actually around 10s remaining, but the 30% chance for DoTs to instantly deal their damage combined with the travel time on makes 15s a more consistent timing method
⬥ The boost granted by also lasts 15s, meaning it's possible to → as ends to make use of the buff without overlapping on duration
Example:
→ + → + → → → → → (2-hit) → → → → → (charge) → + (release) + → → → → → (2-hit) → → →
⬥ The primary points to note in this example are:
• The DoT to maintain right before
• The timing of in the back half to maintain stacks during
• The → right as ends to make use of the Conflagrate buff
⬥ In this example, the timing of is roughly as late is it can be used to upkeep while accounting for the chance that may instantly deal its damage. If the proc does not occur, you can → instead and proceed as usual.
⬥ If you don't plan on using immediately after , you can shift around the timing of as needed.
Notes:
⬥ Stacks of are not maintained if is not equipped when the DoT deals damage. This is important to know if you immediately switch to to use .
⬥ Resets on during can be optionally held until after ends to have a filler option while waiting on the next
• However, if (3-piece) is owned, it becomes an extremely strong ability in and resets should generally be used immediately
⬥ + become good filler abilities outside of , especially if you are not yet at 50 stacks.
⬥ Prebuilding with → → at the Wars dummies allows you to maintain stacks between kills of a boss, and build ~27 stacks quickly to activate the additional damage effect of immediately.
Fractured Staff of Armadyl
⬥ FSoA is used primarily for two effects:
● A passive 15%-30% critical strike damage boost while equipped
⬩ This is assumed to average 22.5% in most calculations and overtakes at endgame critical strike chances
● The special attack: For 30 seconds, fire a Lightning Surge for every critical strike on the primary target, dealing 90-110% ability damage
⬩ They can themselves crit but will not fire another Lightning Surge if they do (no recursion)
⬥ Where possible, you will overlap + + to get the most out of each effect.
Key Considerations
⬥ An effective rotation relies on landing critical strikes as often and reliably as possible
⬥ Stack as much of Biting 4 , Erethdor's Grimoire , either Reaver's Ring or Channeller's Ring , Kal'gerion demon familiar 
with scrolls 
, and elite tectonic armour 
as possible.
Example Rotation
Fundamentally, rotations follow the same general principles as before: using and strong abilities as often as possible, but also overlapping with to get as many critical strikes as possible. Doing so will result in enough adrenaline refunds that will ideally be the only basic ability used during this time.
⬥ is a strong ability at the start of since we don't have our crit buffs running at the time, replace with if not owned.
• Without , we may instead or at the start for adren
⬥ When running into adrenaline issues, + guarantees at least 4 critical strikes and that will be available immediately after
⬥ We are no longer concerned about maintaining stacks since they only work while is equipped, and FSoA's passive is stronger in nearly all instances
Example:
+ → + → → → → → → (2-hit) → → → → → (charge) → + (release) + → → → → → (2-hit) → (stop here if wanting to maintain high adrenaline) →
⬥ Rotations will typically require a bit of improvisation. timing can be flexible since its cooldown only allows it to be used once. Making sure to keep an eye on adrenaline and use when necessary keeps the rotation flowing smoothly regardless.
• The most likely timing to for the example is to guarantee the → → →
⬥ If multiple enemies are nearby, → / / provides a ton of additional chances for crit refunds, although Lightning Surges will only proc off your main target
⬥ In the time outside , you are able to cast another set of + before having to build towards the next
• You may also plan to end around 100% adrenaline and use 
(slightly better due to 
perk) or 
to keep active until the next
• Make sure to set your autocast to before if stacks were not maintained.
Tumeken's Resplendence
⬥ This armour set is primarily used for its 4-piece effect that boosts to an 8-hit channel, making it one of the best abilities especially when paired with
⬥ The 3-piece effect makes under an extremely strong ability that should almost always be used, especially when it resets. However, / are still generally not worth using.
⬥ The 5-piece effect is generally not worth using, and should be replaced with either an Elite Tectonic Mask or Cinderbane Gloves 
where applicable
⬥ Although Tumekens is almost always better than running 3-piece Elite Tectonic 
, there may be situations where very short-term critical strike burst requirements makes the latter set slightly better
Key Considerations
⬥ We will now spend much more of the duration channelling , pushing out other abilities such as
⬥ → → with can generate a massive amount of critical strikes under , making it another reliable source of adrenaline similar to → →
⬥ is now an excellent way to stack up / quickly, and → → can fully stack up at the start of
Example:
+ → + → → → → → → → → → → → → → → →
Temporal Anomaly 
⬥ Due to its random nature, Temporal Anomaly (TA) is typically not written into rotations, since any strategy must still be able to work even with no resets in order to be considered consistent
⬥ However, using TA resets correctly can still result in improved kill times on average, even if the base rotation you work with is relatively static
⬥ The value of most resets primarily comes down to the cooldown of the ability were you to use it again
• For example, a reset is not particularly useful because it needs to be back up by the next (which cannot reset off TA), and casting it again runs the risk of de-syncing your major cooldowns
⬥ TA reset considerations
• Best reset, allows additional casts during that isn't otherwise possible
• Also allows additional casts under that isn't otherwise possible, though its damage isn't nearly as high as
• Another high damage ability with 4-piece , though requires another reset to get a third cast under
• Deals very average damage, either ignore or wait until next if nothing better is available
• Can be used for rotation flexibility i.e. → → , but damage is dependent on available followup abilities
• in AoE-heavy scenarios
⬥ It's important to recognize that many TA resets will not be particularly useful in the context that they occur, don't feel obligated to use every one immediately. Often times, just prioritizing leads to the most consistent gains from TA, though fishing for more resets from abilities like + can lead to higher peaks.
Without Adren Renewal
⬥ With a best-in-slot magic setup, it's possible to circumvent the issue of rotations when is on cooldown.
⬥ The following boosts and effects can be utilised to improve the consistency of + without :
⬩ Divert and/or Hydrix Grico for a quick burst of adrenaline at the start of
⬩ Limitless sigil usage with provides enough guaranteed critical strikes to proceed even with poor luck.
⬩ Prior crit buff running from or
⬩ Second EoF with / for lower-cost adrenaline dump, when looks dicey to use.
⬩ 4TAA to pad out the rotation while generating adrenaline.
⬥ In most scenarios, once you successfully put up + , adrenaline for the rest of can be sustained with good timing and improvisation around .
Example (meant to demonstrate a sub-optimal adrenaline start):
+ → → + → → (4t) + → → → () → → → → → → → → (4t) +
⬥ Sometimes sacrifices have to be made for the sake of improvisation, such as slightly less efficient usage, filling with 4TAA and low-cost EoF specs , etc.
⬥ As long as you cast 2x + + + 1-2x , while not using any basics worse than or after , the rotation can generally be considered successful
⬥ These tips can also apply to with , when dealing with poor stretches of luck
⬥ Of course, the rotation you can execute is highly dependent on the boss encounter, with bosses such as 
or 
allowing for much more frequent usage of , multiple uses of per , free adrenaline, and so on.
• See their respective guides for boss-specific rotations.
