I think Summoners are fine.

I have literally posted the numbers about this before, and you have literally posted in response to it.

We do 725 potency in the first 3 GCDs and that's directly comparable to any other job unless they use off-GCD damage CDs.

What are you using that adds up to 725 potency in 3 GCDs? Just curious.

GCD 1 Obey + Bio II
1s in 100 pot from garuda
GCD 2 - Miasma - 20 Potency + 35 potency from Bio II + 100 Potency from Garuda
GCD 3 - Bio - 70 Potency From Bio II + Miasma
In between GCD 300 from fester, 100 from garuda


725

Not sure i asked at the correct place, but here goes:-

1. When i am SMN and i did my rotation and fester upon CD. I notice my mana drops quite low at the end of the day as i spam ruin when my dots were up. Anyway to counter this beside asking BRD to gimp their dps? Pots? food?

2. Did you guys spam ruin II as well? or totally leave it out from rotation and just focusing on ruin?

1. Your mana will run low over the course of the fight, but unless you need to battle rez or re-summon your pet you should be fine. This is factoring in if all the DPS is competent and finishes the encounter in time. If not, you will need to use Energy Drain.

2. Only use Ruin II when you need to use an oGCD skill(like Bane, Fester, Energy Drain, Raging Strikes, Rouse, Spur, Enkindle, etc).

Never use Ruin II in your normal rotation. It eats up too much mana. Most of the time if you keep your usual 4 DoTs and Ruin I until you need to reapply, you should be fine. Use Aetherflow everytime on CD. Multi DoTing however will run you dry faster.
