    Don't get the point of so many Banes. The 15% chance to reset the DoTs isn't worth burning stacks. Better to use Fester instead of bane. Besides it's not a bad idea to go to the second target do Swiftcast ->Shadowflare -> Bio II -> Miasma -> Thunder -> Bio -> Contagion -> Bane, then switch to the main target and thunder then fester it before going to the third target and thundering it along with a refresh of Bio. At that point I find the second target is mostly dead and I just burn it down and then reapply the DoTs on the third target if needed then Bane if able or just go to the other targets and manually apply the dots. That 15% chance on Bane just isn't worth the stack it costs.

    I don't think anyone here said use bane to reset the dots.

    The first bane is only if garuda actually decided to obey you and contagion right away.

    If she didn't contagion yet, you then go into miasma II then bane if (hopefully) she's contagioned already.

    If she still hasn't contagion, curse her out for a bit and spam contagion button until she finally does it, then bane.

    Besides, the rotation above couldn't work if you bane'd more than once, as bane has a 10 second cd.

    Yeah, never had an issue with her not using it in a few seconds after clicking Contagion. Still find it a waste given that scenario. I'd rather take the time to quickly recast everything then waste that fester. Just not one to gamble on a 15% chance.

    I don't think you understand what I wrote.

    You only bane once, you CAN only bane once, there is literally no way to "waste" a bane unless you're somehow spamming it 10 seconds after your first bane.

    I merely provide 2 spots in the rotation where it would make sense to bane, depending on when garuda decides to contagion.
