yeah but is it really needed alot of SS can become a hassle with mp management. please correct me if i am wrong but 1/3 dmg is you 1/3 dmg is DoTs and 1/3 dmg is pet. so is it really worth losing the Det that could increase your pet damage. I never said anything about out of DwT. Ruin 3 is awesome out of DwT but is it worth it if you cannot mp manage. Almost most of your hard hitting Attacks (doesn't include DoTs) are fester painflare deathflare Ruin 3 and Ruin 2 (ruin 2 is just there don't even try to deny Ruin 2)

oh that extra Ruin 3 only beats if deathflare doesn't Crit

just a quick quick whats the Spell speed needed to increase DoT dmg.

You are in DWT with 2,5-3s left and 1-3 AF stacks available:

Ruin2 (88) + Fester (330) + Deathflare (440) + Ruin (80)
<
Ruin3 (220) + Deathflare (440) + Ruin2 (80) + unbuffed Fester (300)

same MP cost, same ammount of GCDs, same ammount of used AF, 0.1-0.2s GCD loss because of clipping in Deathflare without instacast, but 112 more potency.

...i just woke up so maybe i don't get it right but in which way does crit influence the skill before it?
there is no way that an extra ruin lll grands you dps loss... or did i miss something? o.O'

edit: you need around 750 ss for the extra spell and honestly it's not that hard to get your mp-management clear even with high ss...
currently (thx to my anima again) i have 1263 ss (round about) and as long as i have not to emergency res grp member multiply times
(which shouldn't happen that often) im totally fine with my manapool... i even can switch egis midfight for blazing shield and switching
back for raw dmg/dps checks while using con. so have you ever tried a build with 1k+ ss? honestly i doubt it...

It's in the neighborhood of 70 SS for 1% increase in DoT tick damage.
