    Summoner isn't really a rotation class. Its a priority system. Dots tick on server time, which is every 3s. Its the reason you see all of the dots ticking for 1 combined damage every 3 seconds independent of when the DoT was applied. So you prioritize keeping all your dots up.

    Opening is Raging Strikes>Bio 2, Miasma, Bio 1 (Fester as soon as you see Bio 1 land), Thunder (If your lucky contagion hits right as your thunder goes on), Swiftcast Shadowflare. Then you start Ruin spam while using pet CD's, get a 2nd fester in while raging strikes is still up. Reapply dots, use all aetherflow on fester. Priority is Shadowflare>Bio 1>Bio 2>Miasma>Thunder. I'm not in game atm but like 95% sure that is correct.

    OP, the "clipping" your noticing is bad latency. This isn't your fault, it's bad net code on SE's part. That said, even with 0 latency, the GCD is still going to be more significant in regards to a DPS loss. In other words, no matter how you slice it, do not weave Ruin II into your DoT application.

    pandabearcat offered the best, and most coherant answer in this thread, so listen to her. Once you finish your initial rotation (pretty much everything she listed, in order), then we go to a priority system where you virtually just refresh what needs to be refreshed.
