you're doing 5 ruin33->ruin2 fester deathflare, not 6 ruin3->ruin2 fester deathflare. deathflare wasn't RS buffed either

Moved RS one GCD behind, didnt notice o.O

Found an error in your opener, fixed it for you. Np.

so much contagion so much cancer!!!

I have some general questions about SMN, could use some advice from season pros:

Do you guys refresh all your dots and SF before going into DWT if you don't have tridisaster up? Is it a loss in dps to delay dwt to reapply them if you have to?
Do you guys only use tridisaster in dwt?

Is there a minimum amount of SS I need? My build focuses heavily on crit (1115 crit currently).
Should I meld accuracy to hit auto attacks? I don't even know how much the accuracy caps for savage are but I'm only hitting 607 atm.

What egi do you guys prefer for Seph ex and A5s?

Hail, I'm newbie on SMN and actualy I'm using this rotaton (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNyKz5sGCfg) but im not sure this is better or what I need to do to keep the rottation and a stronger DPS.

The 1F / 1P / 1ED opener is good if you need to get into Dreadwyrm Trance quickly to burn something down, but it is less total potency than its alternatives.

Not that this is in any way ideal or anything, but here is my super silly opener(done with 2.29 gcd):

-6 secs: shadow flare
-2: bio 2
Pull
0: miasma
2.29: bio (rouse+ spur+ raging strikes+ Ed+ pf)
4.58: miasma 2 (Ed+af)
6.87: r2 (SC+ enkindle+ dwt)
9.16: r3 (fester)
11.45: r3
13.71: r3 (3d+ contagion)
16: r3
18.29: r2 (pf+ fester+ death flare)

Boom 10000 potency in 20 seconds!

Edit: times are off by a second or two due to 5 ogcd in a row

Is it an increase in DPS if Garuda were to use shockwave and aerial slash after a wind blade cast?

Hi, I don't know if it's too early to ask this, but what would be the best stats for allocation in the new anima step? I've already started putting crit into it, but I don't know what the other stat I should work on once I max out the crit. Thank you in advance for your help.

I got a doubt on this week, Ho is better Crit>DET>SS or Crit>SS>DET ??? A lot of ppl say difeternt things I can decide what status I need priorize to do more DPS

[Takaokami]

the best stats for allocation in the new anima step

Ho is better Crit>DET>SS or Crit>SS>DET

Your safest bet is to put everything into CRIT then DET and remaining points into SpS

You mostly need SpS to put more R3 in DWT. Unless all your other gear has absolutely no SpS I'd wouldn't think of putting more points into SpS.
You could also put some in ACC but I believe all your gear gives you more than enough of that.
