A few questions from a new Scholar

Stuff about Miasma II

While this is true, I still prefer Ruin II over Miasma II because of the Blind effect possibly reducing some damage. Of course the other DoTs should be cast before either Ruin II or Miasma II is even considered. However, in terms of Instant cast spells, Bio is always the best option for damage when you find an opening to cast an attack. (Unless you don't have to move, where Bio II is the best option)

Yeah, and as I said, it's academic. The difference between Miasma II and a single Ruin II is going to be 100~200 damage in even the best gear, if my napkin math is correct. In the grand scheme of things, if you are to the point where you even have the chance to use Miasma II or Ruin II, you are doing quite well for yourself.
