That rotation was with shadowflare (notice the 25*1.5, since it seems to autocrit).

And SMNs actually run out of mana, period, as opposed to BLM.

With more and more targets SMN are more and more gimped in terms of AoE damage, as tri-disaster and miasmaII are completely laughable.

EDIT: also I didn't include in flare. For something ridiculous like 500 potency as the last attack.

I figure that balances having to use blizzard III once.

I don't run out of MP o.o. Maybe im not maximizing my dps but if I do bio miasma bio 2 fester miasma 2 shadow flare repeat minus shadow flare and than use drain instead of fester I usually have enough time off my Aetherflow timer to top my MP off and if not I can do 2-3 drains in 1 rotation. There isn't to much reason to run outta mp on SMN or SCH

If you're multidotting more than 3 targets consistently without Bane you will run out of mana without manasong. You may delay it with energy drain, which you sacrifice Fester for, but it will happen.

It's extremely important that groups with summoners in them have tanks that understand this limitation and work with the summoner to encounter it as little as possible.
