Why is SMN DPS so high?

@nemhy
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.

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.
