Summoner DPS Rotation

Never use Ifrit.

Ever.

Not to mention if you "switch out" of Ifrit, like the poster is implying, then you'll run into serious mana issues where a Bard has to use Ballad, just for you, and that's bad. You want ballad when the healers need it. Not to mention no Swiftcast for Shadow Flare or Resurrection.

Also, don't pop Enkindle+Rouse/Spur at the beginning. That hit will pull off the tank if it's the very first thing that's done. A tank can't match up to a ~1.3k crit, in aggro, in 1-2 GCDs. Don't leave your threat to RNG.

Oh and btw, the GCD for ruin starts when you cast it....the GCD for ruin 2 starts AFTER the cast. So you can do your rotation with ruin 1 at the same time, and conserve some mana

Wat? Ruin II has no cast.

So the GCD starts at the same time for both--But when you use Ruin II, you are free during the GCD for off-GCD skills, which you can't use while casting Ruin.
