Heyo!

Having some extra myth points to dump I'm contemplating picking up SMN as my next off-class, seeing how my FC is almost devoid of any of them. However, I have some questions for the more experienced Summoners of you out there:

1)
In what order do you apply your DoTs? My first instinct was to apply in the order of BioII -> Miasma -> Bio, longest to shortest. However, on a second review, Bio does more potency. Should I apply Bio first for that extra DPS effeciency?

2)
Shadow Flare, do you constantly put it up? I heard something about them reseting the hidden potency (tooltip said 25, but in reality did 34), is this true?

3)
For AOE-damage, do you think MiasmaII and/or Tri-disaster is worth it?

4)
Does Aerial Slash replace Garuda's auto-attack, or is it "complementary"? With other words, is it worth using on single targets?

5)
Does Spur and Rouse stack properly? Should I chain them, or use them whenever their CD is up, regardless if they're used at the same time? I guess if they're stacking, that would be the best time to use Enkindle.

6)
I'm currently leveling up an Archer for Quelling Strike, however I could see that you would rarely have any real enmity issues, with how the damage rather builds up slowly than being instantly bursty. Do you find good uses for Quelling Strike?

7)
And last, but not least, how DOES Summoner DPS fair against others? This seems to be a very twisted debate, with several people completely shunning them off as being the least useful, while I've also heard that SE themselves says that SMN does the most DPS.


I realise it's a lot of questions, so feel free to answer any number of them, should you feel to weigh in with your own experience.

Thanks in advance,
Fallstrider
