Summoner got destroyed this patch

K so ruin II has it uses, but there's a debate on either side due to the mana cost. No need to question someone's ability because they don't use a vastly debated skill.

Ruin/Ruin II x3 means that you can cast either of those spells 3 times before the rotation of DOTs needs to be re-applied in a simple rotation. So my rotation includes 3 Ruin casts. I'm not including any CDs in this as they can be applied at any time and that affects DMG at that time globally which will affect your DPS, but that's not necessary to compare actions. Applying CDs will leave us with the same ratio of increase or decrease in DPS when comparing actions in most cases and it just makes it way more complicated.

On bosses you won't be using Blizzard II in your single target rotation. Miasma II is only good for single target if used with Contagion and most of the time isn't worth the time it takes to run toward the target and back out of the way even if you work it in well between casts or during instant casts. Blizzard II won't affect our MP management any more than casting Thunder on multiple targets. Being able to use Blizzard II up close for AOEs will be the same as using Miasma II, even during boss fights if your skilled you can do it well. If you can't then don't worry about it. Staying alive is more important for sustaining DPS than maximizing DMG every second.

Boots loss while annoying isn't end all, the new primal accesories all have accuracy
Still annoying, but we can recover from it.

sure,ruin2 shouldnt be spammed around as hell hehe,just when you have to cast fester or other non gcd spell to maximise you dps,in this way you dont waste your mana

You can also get HQ i70 jewelry and do a 9 INT 9 MND 9 VIT 6 PIE 12 Acc build on every slot. VIT and PIE helps a lot and the loss in INT from i90 is a very small difference in DPS. Some pieces already come with Acc so just place the the Acc III with something you prefer.
VIT IV +8
PIE IV +6
Acc III +6
Acc III +6
VIT I +1

This isn't viable for most people economically.

That's true, but like all things it's something you can work towards if it fits your goals.

Except they are, 'cause they are not that dumb.
