On Earthshakers I will get in position asap, manawall on the way
Cast next spell before puddle, dodge sc spell, dodge and then cast next spell as soon as out of puddle, It works out better.

And honey......I look pretty regardless what I'm doing

You are assuming Swiftcast is always up. What if you already used it on a previous Earthshaker or during Mega Flare ?

Personally I have 692 SSPD and Selene up during last phase most of the time, but not all people have that luxury. In which case, Scathe isn't a DPS loss, just make sure to go into UI3 before using it. You almost always have time to switch from AF3 to UI3 before any mechanic.
