SMN: Total potencies on the legos

[Mithron]

Thanks for explaining how Slipstream dot potency works. Even if it's lower than I anticipated, it still remains the single strongest button out of the three legos, so I can see how it would be optimal during raid buffs.

However, if you're like me and 100% solo PF everything, you can't really rely on any buffs outside your own Searing Light, so if you can manage 2-3 Topaz Rites + Mountain Busters during it I think that's still more total potency than Slipstream + Emerald Rite, right?

If you're not doing savage and/or you cannot rely on your teammates, then you should do Titan > Garuda and try to make sure that the Slipstream fits inside SL. You can check the Titan opener in the Balance if you wish, it includes the amount of GCDs that are covered by your buff.

you have to use your Searing light after bahamut's first gcd, and you normally have enough time left to do full titan filler first, and use slipstream very quickly with swiftcast before the buff end, garuda is stronger when he stay a few seconds of Searing light, or in some rare situation where the boss can take damage but that we can no longer DPS.

Otherwise you should always use titan.

Besides, I hope that square enix will increase the damage of ifrit and garuda, because the fact that titan is the most mobile and the most powerful of the 3 makes no sense.
