My static and I are on t11. Our blm couldn't make it so a LS sch main filled in as a smn. We noticed she was running low on mp often. We found out her rotation after dots+shadowflare she was doing ruin1+2 over and over. At first she was doing more dps then me and smn is my main but in my defense I wasn't keeping shadowflare up all the time. Too busy running from nerve gas but I fixed that. At the start of the fight after I adjusted my shadowflare she was doing like 420 and I was pulling 515. After I started using SF as soon as it wears down I feel I helped my overall dps a lot but my main question.
ruin1+2?
To me I think that's just burning mp. Ruin 1 and 2 share the same recast timer and cd. I only use ruin 2 when I'm on the move or use it right before festers cd is rdy. The only benefit I see of this combo is doing a little dmg slightly faster for when you need to burn something. She claimed she had to energy drain a lot and in my opinion an energy drain instead of fester cuts into your dps. My fester does anywhere from 800-2250 with raging strikes, crits and foe. Can someone show me the math of using ruin1+2 vs ruin 1 spam please.
Last I feel like an idiot for not keeping shadowflare up as soon as it wears off so what is the optimal smn rotation for coil?
At the start I've been doing raging strikes, 3 dots, fester, Miasma 2, contagion, shadowflare, rouse+spur+enkindle, ruin 1 till fester is almost rdy, ruin 2 right before fester is rdy, fester, raging wears off. rinse repeat when able.
I spam ruin 1 when not doing anything else and ruin 2 only when I need to move. The one thing I'm questioning is miasma 2. I only use it when contagion is up. Should I be throwing it in all the time or is too big a drain on mp?
