Turn 4 DoTs

[KairiSgheart]

They just need spend a few second on soldier. Is not that long. I went as drg b4 n did 1 full thrust combo then jump to knight. With the other physical dd hit it b4 knight. It is fast n keep soldier frm doing any damage to party.

also OP, tell your tank that parsers are terrible for summoners, as in literally making us look bad. why?

parsers doesn't track shadowflare.
parsers doesn't track dots extended by contagion (parser acts as if there are no dots on the target)
parsers doesn't track MULTI DOTS OR BANE (this one is big on turn 4, as most of your damage comes from multi dots and bane)
parsers doesn't track dots empowered by raging strikes (acts as if the dot doesn't have any power ups on them)
parsers doesn't track dots that crit

don't believe me? try it. it takes literally 3-5 minutes to test these things on a target dummy.

It doesn't? We had a SMN in our raid for about a week and everytime s/he got top DPS (it was about the same as everyone elses but the Garuda-Egi giving it about 40~50 more is what made the SMN top DPS), but the SMN's dps being on average to everyone else seemed pretty right to me.

I heard it was an issue early on but I thought they fixed that.

yes, it doesn't. I just tested it a few minutes ago (I always test it whenever someone in the forums claims or heard that it's fixed)

but yeah, a lot of it are still not getting parsed.

So Ruin will bypass the stoneskin buff on the Soilders; Will dots being cast on same target eventually peel off the buff?

Reason I ask my group currently runs 2 Bards 1 Monk 1 Summoner. the summoner is dpsing the Soilder until stoneskin drops then swaps to other soilder.

My question is it better to have one of the bards also on the Soldier to peel off the Stoneskin buff faster so the Dots to damage?
