Miasma I & II question

So I do my rotation Bio II, Miasma, Bio. Then I thought I would do Miasma II but it seems to over right the first one rather than be on its own. Should I not bother casting it in the rotation?

Miasma 2 is a completely separate status effect with its own icon.

When I cast it it seem like it over right miasma. Maybe I need to look closer.

Ya they stack so you should always use both. Look carefully.

Thanks
:) :)

This confused me at first too. Especially since I turn off my animations. The spell is an instant cast around the caster so you need to be in melee range to hit your targets.

Did not know that, thanks!

Miasma 2 is also not worth it using against single target; one Ruin does more damage. Could maybe used with Contagion. Maybe. I don't know that much about Summoners.

It's a slight dps increase with contagion up. NOt enough to kill yourself to get to melee for it if you're not already in melee range though.

I keep myself not far from melee range , i find instead of dodging and interrupting my cast i dodge by running near the boss and smacking Miasma 2 because its dps, not the best but since i cant cast any way might as well do something. It also helps me keep pets close to bosses like titan on heart phase so i can pop a buffed enkindle on it. Since in most content you spend time dodging red because they funnel you in within aoe range i just smack it as i run. Aside from contagion rotation that's the other use I've found besides the obvious AoE dmg.

So does anyone actually use miasma II? It seems kind of like a waste of time in end game content to be honest

For AoE, yeah.

It can be used in combination with Contagion. . .that's about it.

Miasma II is like Cure III for WHM, it has its uses, but remains a situational spell that you won't be using religiously like the other skills in your arsenal.
