    it's more along the lines of dotting something up then having garuda extend it then swiftcasting gardua again to extend it again so you have dots with timers so long that garuda will actually extend them again before they wear off

    Even if that were true, I don't think it would be worth the effort/mp loss. Sure we have aetherflow, but that has a 1 minute CD that can't be exploited to make it even worth it.

    I'd rather just play it the way it's intended. I hate taking shortcuts like that in a MMO. I feel dirty doing it.

    it would definitely be worth the effort and mp loss if it's true, you are only missing out 2 ruins when casting a pet which will basically do a full rotation of a dot (which is more damage than 2 measly ruins), AND empowered too with raging strikes and intellect potion.

    but it is not true, I just tested it, recasting garuda doesn't reset the contagion cd.

    True story. I forget that ruin is kinda.....sub par.
