Fellowship Fire Mage Rotation Guide

Ardeos is Fellowship’s explosive fire mage, built around burning everything in sight with stacking DoTs and timed bursts. He’s not about spamming spells, he’s about setting up perfect burn windows where every tick and explosion lines up. Once you get that rhythm, you’ll top the damage charts every time.

How the Fire Mage Works

Ardeos builds power using Cinders, a unique resource generated by his fire-based abilities. Cinders fuel Detonate, the spell that turns your burning DoTs into massive burst damage. Every active DoT increases Detonate’s impact, and you’ll constantly juggle applying, refreshing, and detonating them in tight cycles.

You’ll build Cinders through abilities like Searing Blaze, Fireball, Engulfing Flames, and Infernal Wave. Then, when your DoTs are up, you’ll spend all those Cinders in a chain of Detonates that melt everything in your path.

Standard Fire Mage Rotation

Your rotation is all about timing. Build, burn, reset. Keep your DoTs active at all times, never cap on Cinders, and align cooldowns for big bursts.

Opener

Searing Blaze to start your first DoT stack
Fireball twice to build Cinders
Engulfing Flames for extra burn duration
Infernal Wave to finish building to max
Fire Frogs if available to add heavy AoE
Detonate three or four times to dump Cinders

This setup applies every key DoT and ensures Detonate hits full power. If you’re entering a boss fight, pre-cast Blaze before combat starts for immediate uptime.

Big Burn Phase

Your major burn happens when Apocalypse and Pyromania are ready. This is your all-in window, so make sure you’re at max Cinders first.

Fire Frogs
Apocalypse
Engulfing Flames
Fireball twice
Wildfire
Detonate until empty
Spirit Ability to refill instantly
Detonate again four times

This combo will trigger your strongest Detonate window. You’ll have high uptime on all DoTs, and Spirit resets your resource so you can chain Detonates back-to-back.

Small Burn Phase

When your big cooldowns are down, run smaller burn cycles while prepping for the next spike.

Apply or refresh Searing Blaze
Cast Engulfing Flames
Spam Infernal Wave to build Cinders
Detonate once at 4 stacks

You’ll get one or two small burns between each big one depending on your cooldown timing.

Ultimate Burn Combo

Once your Incinerate ultimate is ready, it changes your rotation slightly. Use it during a full burn phase for maximum output.

Fire Frogs
Apocalypse
Engulfing Flames
Fireball once
Detonate to 0
Incinerate
Wildfire
Detonate repeatedly until all Cinders are gone

This rotation squeezes every last tick of burn damage into your cooldown window.

Defensive and Utility Spells

Fire mages aren’t just glass cannons. Flame Ward gives 40 percent damage reduction on a short cooldown, perfect for boss mechanics. Fireflash is an AoE disorient that interrupts dangerous casts. Both can be used without breaking your burn rhythm.

Fire Mage Tips

Don’t overcap Cinders. Detonate early if you’re close to full.
Always enter a burn phase with every DoT already ticking.
Save your Spirit ability for bosses or multi-pack pulls, not trash mobs.
Flame Ward can be cast mid-rotation without interrupting Detonate.
Keep Engulfing Flames rolling on the biggest health target in every fight.

Final Blurb

Ardeos is all about perfect timing and precision. Build your Cinders, set everything on fire, and time your Detonates to line up with every cooldown. Once you nail that rhythm, you’ll melt mobs faster than they spawn and control the battlefield like a walking inferno.
