i wonder if itll be worth casting a second fester inside dw trance now.. you can get one with mininal clipping by doing r2 (dwt td) r3 spam (swift) r3 (fester deathflare), but fitting another fester in there would require you to either use r2/miasma 2 (definitely not worth) or clip gcd (maybe??)

You could try doing Miasma II before doing DWT+TD. Only if you use Contagion, though. That way instead of a 80 potency r2 you get a 120 potency miasma II. I don't really know about the whole rotation inside of DWT now. using R2 instead of R3 will feel like a real loss for fitting those Festers in there, though still a mathematical potency gain since 80+300 > 200...

If you're gonna use Swiftcast without using R2 prior you're gonna be clipping your GCD anyways.

R2/M2 > Swiftcast > DWT
R3 > TriD > Fester
R3 x4
R2 > Fester > Deathflare

Gets 5 Ruin IIIs, Tri-Disaster, and 2 Festers.

I couldn't figure out a way to get 6 Ruin IIIs + TriD + Deathflare without stacking some serious spell speed.

I've been working on the "new" opener for 3.2, and this is what I've come up with. I've actually been using this for a while, but before the change it was roughly the same as most other openers. After 3.2, it will be significantly higher because it gets out 6 Ruin IIIs.

(Pre-cast) Shadowflare
(Pre-cast) Bio II
Miasma
Bio > Potion > Fester
Ruin III
Ruin II > Rouse > Spur
Ruin II > Enkindle > Raging Strikes
Ruin II > Painflare > Fester
Miasma II > Swiftcast > DWT
Ruin III > Tri-Disaster > Aetherflow
Ruin III x4 (Contagion)
Ruin II > Fester > Deathflare
Shadowflare

Here's the potency math behind this opener.
Here's a video demonstrating the opener.
