SUMMONER rotation fresh start sharing

[Darksword]

My go to combo, starting from 3 stacks of Aetherflow, is:

Virus > Raging Strikes > Bio II > Miasma > Bio > Fester > Thunder > Contagion > Energy Drain > Ruin II > Fester

That gives you maximum single target damage possible.

For groups I always use:

Precast Shadow Flare > Bio II > Miasma > Bio > Miasma II (driveby) > Contagion > Bane > Fester Mob#1 > Thunder on #2 and #3 > Spam Ruin on #2 and #3 > Recast Miasma II when its about to run out.

Seems to tear everything a new butthole.

That gives you maximum single target damage possible.

Until 40 seconds later when the guy who didn't burn a charge on Energy Drain is casting his 6th Fester.

* Raging Strikes does not affect Shadow Flare, and using it before Shadow Flare is downright a waste of the buff

Hmm, I've never bothered to test this. Strange that I never noticed. I won't be in game for a few days to check myself, so do you have a link with confirmation? If it's the case, then all I need to do is switch Shadowflare and Raging Strikes in my order.

It's true, but it's not a waste of a buff. It's still better to cast SF during RS than it is to cast Ruin. SF is roughly 350 potency.

Edit:

And if you start with(taking out oGCD skills) RS->Bio II->Miasma->Bio->Thunder->Miasma II->Contagion->SF, the timer works perfectly with fester where when you need to recast SF, you swift cast it and can use Fester during that GCD.

i dont understand why, yes SF has much total potency higer than ruin , but if isnt affected by RS is still better cast before RS and u can do Ruin1 and if u have mana to waste a Ruin2 before RS ends,then recast SF when expires
in this case RS has same potency in every cases u use so as u wrote 350 but ruin1 and 2 has 20% bonus that u loose if RS expires
if u are talking about "its more handly" for calculate timing maybe it can be true ,i never tryed it,but speaking in term of dps is far better cast out of RS and gain those 100 dmg of the two boosted ruins,isnt so much so can be forgiven but is higher anyway

Because SF is more DPS than Ruin/Ruin II, even when boosted with RS.

Mine hits for 90/100.
Ruin/Ruin II crits for ~300-310 without RS. That means ~360-370 for crits during.
You lose ~3 ticks by casting it so late, which is 270-300 damage.
That's more than the damage you gained using Ruin/Ruin II instead.

[xardus]

completely agree with you ,just have to say,ruin2 is a waste of mana YES! but i use if sometime in long fights without any mana problem,of course most of time is when i run around avoiding things or just before fester (ruin1 ruin1 ruin2 fester),i never go under 1500 mp if i manage correctly aetherflow
the most trouble i have is remember to use shadoflare after it run out,dont know why but always forget and remember in the next wave,this is my biggest problem because as i can see we are all pretty close with our rotation,good to know that RS dsnt affect shadoflare,maybe is better cast SF before RS and then dots rotation,can be a good way if the fight need some seconds for tank aggro

anyway i wanted to ask u something a bout an eye for an eye,it dsnt work with every t2 mobs and first ads in t1,i think to knight in t4 but i dont remember if its knight or soldier.....is it a game bug or work as indeed? its pretty strange that dsnt work with floating balls

[Seobit]

If I had to guess, eye for an eye only procs on physical attacks and ADS' auto attack counts as magical.

i think it too but i wasnt sure that all "balls" attack are ranged\magical hehehe and because spell descrition says "when hit" a little generic

[xardus]

yes but..drain does a good dmg too,isnt like fester but much more than ruin,if u are running low on mana u can use 1 or 2 charges sometime ,and i dont think that strategy burn out so much more mp i think EG isnt always needed
