Thoughts on ruin 3

[EvilJoshy]

Now that I'm 58 the cost went up to 800ish without DWT. I use it for solo too or if the fight isn't going to last long enough to worry about mp issues. Has anyone learned a good rotation or optimal use of DWT yet? (Can't wait for deathflare) /kefka laugh

The biggest suggestion I can give you for DWT is to save Tri-Disaster for use when in trance. 15 seconds sounds like a long time but it really isn't if you try to recast any dots or anything. Ideally you want to reset dots via Tri-Disaster then get back to spamming Ruin III before hitting Deathflare at the last second. If you can pop Raging Strikes immediately before entering trance then even better!

I just got deathflare an hour ago and I am in love with it. I don't know which is optimal right now but I have been using raging strikes outside of DWT. I've been using DWT+tri disaster then ruin 3 until the end for a deathflare. I'm trying to spread out raging and DWT. Not sure if one method is better than the other but I did do raging+DWT on my first deathflare. Hit 3407 /kefka laugh

The cooldown on Raging Stikes means you can hit it once every three DWTs so if you get the timing right you'll never be waiting to burn RS. Once you hit the first one the cooldowns from then on should line up perfectly to always use it immediately before DWT. When you consider that you can then have Garuda use Contagion on those dots with a 30% damage bonus as well as get a 30% bonus to Deathflare and Ruin III... It's definitely preferable to combine the two buffs. If you're clever with your opener you can even get a 30% bonus to Fester and Painflare as well.
