Why is SMN DPS so high?

^good choice, I'm getting my AF+1 chest next week and I'll try to get a crafted high quaity helm piece (vanya wizard hat or something). I got the dark light because I was ignorant about the stats a few days ago, and that it looks cool (lol).

garuda plumes are terrific for us, already have shadowflare casted before she teleports to AoE everyone, bane spread and miasma does the trick once plumes have spawned. for garuda's plumes (the spread out plumes), I cast a full dot on one and hope that that specific plume will go next to another. once the plumes are grouped up, I look for the place where there's a lot of them and I swiftcast shadowflare and miasma.

for titan tombs, smns aren't that strong for tombs, but our group had good dps that they did not even need me to help, I just try to help with ruins and if we need to get the tomb asap, I let in an energy drain in there.

for things that needs to be bursted down asap, we just do what we can, if your group has mediocre dps, you can choose to do a full rotation of dots so you can get in a fester in it, or if the group has high dps and the ads only last 5-6 seconds, then just get in a ruin or two in there.

I'm not saying all of this stuff is the best possible way to handle situations, I'm just telling you what I personally do.

My main issue is that I can't seem to time it so my DoTs are in high duration before she jumps to one of her Attacks so while I may be able to Bane...they run out really soon. Is there a trick to this or do I just need to feel it out? Also I feel like bane doesn't reach all of them...even while they're still on her before she throws them out.

yeah I had this problem as well, especially if she attacks you with her windblade while casting bio II on her. here's what I do, once she finishes casting her aoe, I cast surecast and get out to be line in sight with her to do my full dots, then once plumes are out I wait for like .5-1 second before casting bane, so that she finishes summoning all her plumes and all of them will get hit by bane.
