SMN - Why it is not a very interesting job and not a good upgrade from ACN

This implies you have 15 seconds of dot down time without garuda, which is not true. The only dps you are gaining from contagion is the time saved in having to reapply dots slightly less often.

If someone has already pointed this out, ignore. I didn't read through 40 odd pages.

What about Contagion followed by Bane? You save 1 AetherFlow (More or less) and you can use a Fester instead of reapplying Dot then Bane.. So yeah extra dmg
