    There is no reason to use Tri-disaster for damage. Ever. Long cast time, garbage potency, eats a ton of MP. For AoE if you don't care about MP, Swiftcast Shadow Flare, Miasma2, spam Blizzard 2.

    Miasma 2 is net 70 potency/targer, Blizzard 2 is 50 potency/target. You need only look at the tooltips yourself to see what to do.

    As somebody said before, it is not optimal to macro your dots.
    The only macros I am using for summoner are:
    - swift cast + raise + party chat notification about raising - something like "/p Swift raise used on <t> <se.8>"
    - swift cast + summon garuda
    - swift cast + Shadow flare
    - Rouse + Spur
    - Bane + Aerial slash
    - Eye for eye + party chat notification about usage of the skill -something like "/p E4e used on <t> <se.6>"
    Sorry if party chat mentioned messages are not accurate, I am not currently at home to check exact text I put

    Summoner does not have a rotation so sticking your dots to macro will not be helpful beside opening rotation, for which it is not the best option either.
    I guess for some lazy dungeons it is fine, but once you get to the coils, it is better to not rely that much on your damage macros, imo.

    Regards,

    Macros for entire combos are a huge dps loss, and garuda only needs to be told to contagion every minute and re position in some battles.
    Hmm but wouldnt it be a dps loss to not use Shockwave and Aerial slash on cool down though? (In case of aerial slash only post patch due to the 3 second cast time)

    Shockwave yes
    Aerial Slash only if there's more then 1 mob since it's weaker then her auto attack on a single target. 2.3's buff to it isn't going to make it better for ST but it'll be better to get her doing more DPS faster

    Yes but couldnt you just weave it in between two autoattacks now with it being instant? Unless its tied to the GCD

    Shockwave is a pushback though, so isn't that a bit of an annoyance?
