Tips and Tricks Not Covered Above

● Bane only spreads to 3 targets, despite with that tooltip says. (http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...29#post1484429)

● Tri-disaster can save your group from a bad pull if you swift cast and bind the extra monsters with it.

● Fester will do 0 damage if you don't have your dots on the target.

● Your pet can miss and does not benefit from food. (http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ve-party-buffs)

● You can instantly resurrect someone with Swiftcast.

● If you use Contagion and then Bane all the dots spread will have the increased duration.

● Thunder can be extended by Contagion.

● Ruin 2 has a blind which might help out from time to time.

● Cast Atherflow preemptively and try to time it so that it is ready again by the time you've used all 3 Atherflow charges.

● If a boss heals itself, make sure you have Miasma's debuff up on the boss.

● If a healer sleeps a target with dots on it, the dots will not break sleep.

● Avoid using Topaz Carbuncle or Titan in low level dungeons. These pets draw extra Enmity and could interfere with your Paladin or Warriors Enmity. Furthermore, your other summons do more damage which is your main role in a group.

● Eye for an Eye, as well as all other buffs, will give you Enmity when cast on a player. Be careful about using this spell at the very beginning of a fight.

● If you set your pet to "Steady" and then issue an offensive command they will switch back to "Guard" again. Keep an eye on your pet!

● If you apply dots to a target and the target is then put to sleep, your dots will not break sleep. Shadowflare and Dots spread by Bane will also never break sleep. (Thanks to Daenerys and Lionking)
