Hello everyone,

I've been playing about with a new opener one I partially built from looking at improving SMN's initial burst and to help get into the flow of dmg faster and wanted to know opinions on it. All of this assumes two things you are using Ifrit and his skills are cast when they are up as they can be done during casts so it's not worth mentioning and two that you have time to cast shadow flare a few pixels in front of the boss outside his hit box and he can be moved into it as the pull happens.

So here goes:
Pre-Pull
Shadow Flare in front of the boss
Quelling Strikes
Rouse
Spur
Raging Strikes
Potion

On Pull
Tri-Disaster --> Ruin 2 --> Fester + Painflare --> Ruin 2 --> Energy Drain + Aetherflow --> Ruin 2 --> Dreadwyrm Stance + Enkindle --> Ruin 3 x 4 --> bio --> Fester + Swift Cast --> Ruin 3 --> Deathflare.

back into normal rotation hard casting shadow flare when it falls off near the end of this.
