    Hey all I am rather new to SMN. Well just dinged fiddy and am wanting some feedback. I am in no way an endgame SCOB SMN but for was reading the above and can't help but thinking I am doing something wrong. For the most part I seem to do pretty well in duties, I get a lot of yellow to orange triangles if that is any indicator.

    Here goes:

    Bio > Raging strikes > Miasma > Bio II > Miasma II > Fester > Bio > Bane > Shadow Flare > Ruin II > Ruin

    I think that is how I go. I am looking for suggestions to improve my DPS here. I read above about the weaving of rouse, spur and enkindle....duh, that makes so much more sense now.

    Thanks in advance for your advice.

    Here's my rotation. 460 DPS in 3:20 minutes with I110 weapon. As you can see, I am never suffering from GCD in the video, so always make sure to follow any move with GCD with an instant cast move like shown in the video.

    Same rotation can be applied to T9 and T8 opening(Minus the energy drain part). Though I do save enkindle for the dread. Since you can only use two enkindles per fight, saving Enkindle for first and third dread means that you can hit 4 targets by Enkindle, maximizing the damage. Of course, that doesn't mean that you shouldn't be using Rouse and Spurr in between those parts.

    Also, don't use energy drain unless you really need the MP or you need to burst something quick.

    the opening for SMN will mostly be the same ad you cna find that rotation every where, beside using your OGCD between GCD ability, increase cast speed can increase your dps, imo 385 to 400 is a good cast speed stats. It will drain your mp faster but BRD are there in the party for a reason
