Why is SMN DPS so high?

[Nemhy]

I'm a summoner, I have an instant attack that crits for 1.2k, while my dots are rolling that hits 400 damage every few seconds (much more when it crits), my pet also hits hard, and has a spell that crits 1k.

don't be fooled with the nukes of your video, just because you see big numbers on the screen, doesn't mean that's OP DPS.

you're also WAYYYY more geared than the BLM in the video. When he gets his relic+1 his damage will probably will outdo Summoner. :/

I doubt that, a good summoner that keeps 100% dot uptime is just insane.

but he DOES HAVE relic +1., he has a stream that says "relic +1 blm", and if you check the video you would notice the relic weapon at 1080p, and at the end of the video he even said "ten times easier with fcken relics"

Ahh sorry didn't watch the whole thing. :P I also have not watched streams...or done much of anything else in my free time except play this game...D:

Tell me about your SMN dps/rotation in stuff like Garuda, Titan, (and if you've done it, Coil) Summoner was my first 50 and I'm pretty close to getting the relic for it....but I've been so disheartened by all the talk of SMN DPS being super low and not viable for Titan/Coil.

At the moment I start with Shadowflare under the mob, then BioII > Miasma > Bio > Fester > Thunder > MiasmaII > Contagion. (I only use Miasma 2 on a single target if I can contagion it, figures while the potency is low it's still free damage) Then I throw in Ruins while Fester is on cooldown
