General Info

This build is set up in a very common style with the back bar being the "buff bar", and the front bar being the "kill bar".  

Rotation goes as follows:

Back Bar:

• Molten Armaments > Dampen Magic > Elemental Drain (priority goes to the "tankiest" mob if you're fighting a group, i.e. miniboss, atronachs, etc.) > Engulfing Flames > Switch Bars

Front Bar:

• Elemental Blockade > Eruption > Flames of Oblivion > Burning Embers (if fighting a group, try to target this on the same target you used Elemental Drain on)

After this it becomes situational.  If you are fighting a group, switch bars back to the lightning staff and use your heavy attack.  Otherwise stay with the inferno staff and use its heavy attack.

I'm really bad at remembering to refresh back bar abilities, so the way I visualize it is as follows

• Molten Armaments - Well MA is pretty obvious. If your weapon isn't on fire, make it so.
• Elemental Drain - You'll need to refresh when you need to refresh Eruption
• Engulfing Flames - You'll need to refresh the debuff from Engulfing flames when you refresh Elemental Blockade
• Dampen Magic - Whenever you need a shield

The whole point of this is to use the Dark Elf and Dragon Knight passives, as well as Elemental Drain and Engulfing Flames to maximize the flame damage.  As well as using the Elegant 5-piece and Molten Armaments to maximize heavy attack damage, and stacking that with the fire DoT's you stack.

Champion Point Tips

Green:

• 100 into Magician
• 67 into Arcanist

Blue:

• 50 Elemental Expert
• 12 Elfborn
• 75 Staff Expert
• 30 Thaumaturge

Red:

• 56 Elemental Defender
• 56 Hardy
• 55 Thick Skinned

I'm still a little iffy about Blue, but most of the damage is going to come from Elemental Expert, but 75 points into "The Atronach" tree gives increased damage to low health opponents.
