What's the best summoner dps rotation?

[Trufrost]

Like the title says what's the best dps rotation for summoner possible

[RLofOBFL]

1 Opener:
Summon Garuda (@10-12 sec Pre-pull) + use Radiant Shield (When there is 2 sec left on cast time) → Diversion (Pre-pull) → Rouse(Pre-Pull) → R3 (Pre-pull + Obey on Garuda + Contagion when the pet starts casting its AA) --> R2 (Potion + Tri-D) → R2 (F + PF/Enkindle) → R2 ( Enkindle/PF + Swiftcast) → R2 (Fester + DWT)

2 First DWT
R3 (Shadow Flare + Tri-D + Aerial Slash) → (R3 Fillers for adjustment (0 for general rotation) ) → R2 (DF + Aetherflow)

3 Rotation filler 1
R2 (Fester) → R3 → R2 (Devotion + Fester) → R3 → R2 (Fester) → R3

4 2nd DWT
R2 (DWT + Tri) → R3 x 4 → R3 (Aerial Slash) + R2 (DF + Lucid Dream)

5 Rotation filler 2
R3 X 4 → R2 (Rouse) → M3 → B3 → R3 x 3 → R2 (SF + Aerial Slash) → R2 (Aetherflow) → R1(Contagion) → R2 (Summon Bahamut [As late as you possibly can without clipping into your next GCD] )

6 Bahamut phase
R2 (Fester) → R2 (Akh Morn) → R2 (Swiftcast if you get a R4 proc) → R2 (Fester) → R2 (Tri-D) → R2 (Fester) → R2 (0.5 sec wait + Addle) → R2 (Akh Morn)

7 Rotation filler 3
R1 → R1 (Aerial Slash) → R2 → R1 X4 → R2 (Rouse + Enkindle)

8 3rd DWT
R2 (DWT + Tri-D) → R3 x 4 → R3 (Aerial Slash) → R2 (SF + DF)

9 Rotation filler 4
R2 (Aetherflow + Contagion) → R2 (Fester) → R3 → R2 (Fester) → R3 → R2 (Shockwave + Fester)

10 4th DWT R2 (DWT + Tri-D) → R3 x 5 → R2 (DF + Lucid Dreams) → repeat #5 through #8


That is the optimum strongest rotation right now.

It depends the situation you are. If you are doing Stone Sky Sea the best is the one the dude wrote above.
If you are going with a party, specially with a ninja and/or Dragoon and ofc bard or mch; the best is you using the energy drain opener.
Using this opener you will take advantage from buffs such trick attack/battle voice/Battle Litany.
When countdown is 3 secs (ofc you can use radiant shield before and Summon Garuda):
Swiftcast
1 Sec rouse+contagion.
Tri-Disaster->Painflare->Fester->Energy Drain->Enkindle->DWT-> Ruin 3(swiftcasted)-> Shadowflare->Ruin 3-> Ruin 3(At this point you'll have trick/Battle Litany/BV and contagion will be around 3 secs to go off)-Tri-Disaster->Deathflare->Aetherflow.
The rest of the rotation is like the guy said above.

This is more or less what I do, but I think you should mention that Ifrit should be summoned at the opener (obviously for Radiant Shield). Is a bit confusing otherwise.
Does anyone have it with the skill icons? Otherwise I would do it tonight, when I get home.

6 oGCDs in a row??

[Llugen]

Find Tsundere Imouto and do whatever it is that he does.

6 oGCDs in a row??

Yeah it used to be like the 3.x rotation.
It takes like 4 secs to do those 6 oGCD.

I asked this question in another thread and someone linked me this. Very helpful.

Of course, all of the above applies pretty much only to high-end trials and raids. I thought I'd do some math with the potency of our damage over time spells, and...

This quote leads to my math about Bane.

I ended up with this. If you happen to find yourself spamming Duty Roulette: Expert for Allagan tomestones of creation, keep this in mind.
