Tips
- Always pre-activate Flux — 5s before engage = arrive at the boss with 5 stacks
- Amplification is a burst — save it for the critical phase
- On long hunts, mana drain dries you out — keep mana potions ready
- 30s without Flux after Amplification — plan to fall back on normal spells during that window
- Flux amplifies all your damage, not just spec spells
- Use sage gems
Warning
Casting Amplification without 5 stacks **does nothing**. If mana zeroes mid-combat, Flux auto-disables.
