This is a video showcasing a Stamina Sorcerer rotation for use in Elsweyr. This was made on the PTS server, so changes are possible before this gets to the live server.

Here is a link to the 2h/Bow StamSorc rotation if you want to compare -- youtube.com/watch?v=65Gn7yxL4AE

I am using the Lava Foot Soup & Saltrice food for all my Stamina setups. Reasons are the same as previously mentioned in other videos. I am using Velidreth with Perfected Relequen / Lokkestiiz, which looks to be a really strong combination.

Stamina Sorcerer didn't really see any real relevant class balance changes for raiding. The dual wield setup has seen buffs to Flurry and Flying Blade, which make them both pretty good spammables. The change to Rending Slashes, which was fairly viable as a spammable in recent patches, also makes them unsuitable as a spammable now. Whirling Blades is now also potent spammable as you head towards execute.

-- Rotation

Here I used a Rapid Strikes rotation - this is the first time since the vMA dagger days where it appears to really have an edge on other setups. For me, it was some distance better than Flying Blade / Crushing Weapon, although this will not be the case always. In fights where there is a lot of blocking involved, the alternatives will be better if Rapid Strikes casts need to be cancelled. In really short fights, there is also the possibility that Flying Blade is better. Rapid Strikes is far superior sustain-wise however, and the other morph of Flying Blade, Shrouded Daggers, is really good to use in AOE situations so it might be a preference to have that morph in your trial setups.

The rotation itself is a pretty classic dynamic rotation. On the backbar, Hail - Caltrops - Poison Injection is standard. If Hurricane runs out during the backbar, then I might refresh this before Poison Injection, since you can improve Hurricane's uptime with no harm to the uptime of Poison Injection. Rending Slashes and Rearming Trap are reapplied when they run out. If I'm expecting a slightly longer backbar rotation, then I may reapply either of these early. When there is nothing else to keep up, it's Rapid Strikes time. In execute, keep everything the same except you should switch out Rapid Strikes for Whirling Blades.

I can't recall how Rapid Strikes felt to cast before, but in this patch, the 200ms post global cooldown from channelled abilities was removed so you can queue up the ability quite early, which makes the ability feel good to use.
