1. cast Barrier

 

     When this expires you get mana surge.

 

    If you run with Solas disable his Barrier - they interfere with the Inquistor's Barrier

 

2. cast Energy Barrage

 

    My build has 72% critical hit. With 12 projectiles this virtually guarantees a critical hit. This should be the last thing cast while the       Barrier is still up. This will give you Flashpoint.

 

    Now I have both Mana Surge and Flashpoint - my next cast will be mana free with no cooldown!

 

    A typical casting sequence for me is: Pull of the Abyss, Veil Strike(with Punching Down upgrade), Energy Barrage.

 

    Wait for Barrier to expire, and then

 

    Fire Mine, Fire Mine

 

    The first Fire Mine is the FREE spell. I wait for for Fire Mine damage to display then cast the second Fire Mine. This overlays           damage from Searing Glyph DOT.  I guess there's nothing wrong with waiting for the DOT to end to cast the second Fire Mine. I       just don't wait for 8 seconds.

Wait for Barrier to expire

[mjrandal]

Expiration(no longer active) of the Barrier is what procs Mana Surge. You are trying to cast Energy Barrage right before Barrier expires. That way you have both Mana Surge AND Flashpoint for your next cast. If you cast anything after Barrage but before Barrier expires you will lose Flashpoint.

Having to "wait" for barrier to expire negates the value of "No cooldowns" as given in the thread title.

Remember when Flashpoint had no internal cooldown and rift mages could cast spells literally forever with no cooldown?

 

Good times. 

 

Of course that's also when you had to farm out the seer staff and that was annoying af. 

 

Mana surge works on any type of barrier generation, so I'm pretty sure you can do some finagling with mind blast to get a lot of free spells.

 

Kind of irrelevant now that we have sigil of the great bear though. And the amulet of renewal.

Fill in the "wait" time with other spells or simply use your staff. Just make sure your last spell cast while Barrier is up is Energy Barrage. The whole point of this is to have Mana Surge and Flashpoint both available for Fire Mine.

 

I started doing this using Seer Staff which gets the job done - i think my total Crit % was 58%. I just crafted Wrath of Lovias which gives me 72% total crit chance.

before you put crazy tittles please do loads of testing and a tittle to fit the actual thing you have found was very misleading... other than that you realise you have just explained litteraly what mana surge does anyway, by the way you worded this it seems like you just found out what mana surge does.
