SMN DPS: Pushing it to the limit

You will go oom spaming Ruin II. We can agree to disagree

30 seconds have elapsed at this point in the rotation. Although perhaps your suggest for SC on first during RS would be better

I don't think we are communicating properly, you can cast instant abilities in between spells that have no cast time in order to not lose time off your globals. Check the video to see what I'm talking about

* You cannot use "Bio (Swift Cast)...

2.5 seconds is not the global of BIO, Im at 2.41 base. When I cast SC in the global that is activated by BIO I am not losing anytime on the animation for SC itself. I do this to not incur the animation lock for instant cast abilities. These are where you lose time from casting..... see video for example.

I think he was talking about you advocating for this:

"Ruin II (Spur + Enkindle + Contagion)" and this "Ruin II (Fester + Aether Flow)"

You cannot fit 2 off-GCD skills into a Ruin 2 (or any instant GCD skill) cooldown without sacrificing some DPS. You sacrifice a pretty small amount (less than ~0.5 seconds) of time doing two of them, but ~1 second for each OGCD skill thereafter. So each time you cast two OGCDs during an instant's GCD window, you lose some cast time. That's all he was saying.

I take it that he thinks you are attempting to cast Shadow Flare during the GCD window of Bio, which obviously you can't do. As long as you are only using the Bio GCD window to Swiftcast, then putting the Shadow Flare out after the Bio GCD is completed, nothing is lost. It is actually better that way than doing something like Miasma -> Swiftcast -> Shadow Flare, you avoid the ~1 second animation time for Swiftcast.
