How to Use the Skill Rotation Calculator
The Skill Rotation Calculator helps you plan the most efficient skill usage order in action RPGs, MMOs, and MOBAs. Enter the cooldown in seconds for up to four skills, and the calculator instantly shows the optimal rotation order, uses per minute for each skill, and total skill casts in a 60-second window.
The recommended order places the shortest-cooldown skill first. This approach minimizes idle time and maximizes how often your abilities are used per minute. Each skill's uses-per-minute value is calculated as 60 divided by its cooldown, giving you a clear picture of your DPS cycle before entering a fight.
Enter the effective cooldown after reduction bonuses from gear or buffs to get results that match your actual in-game setup. Compare different equipment loadouts side by side to find which configuration yields the most casts per minute.
Frequently Asked Questions
If a skill has a cast time before it becomes available again, add the cast time to the cooldown for a more accurate result. For instant-cast skills, use the cooldown as-is.
For example, 8.57 uses/min for a 7-second cooldown means you cast it 8 full times in 60 seconds, with the 9th cast starting just after the minute ends. Round down for exact casts within 60 seconds.
