Summoner - Turn 9 - Maximizing Damage Discussion

For golem phase, my group chooses not to burn Blue down before color swap, since we will then have a 50% chance of not having to deal with Green for the rest of the current golem set. So Blue > Green > Red.

Due to this, I will first dot Blue (and put Garuda on it), dot Red and have Garuda Contagion it, then dot Green. By that point it's almost time for first color change so you just go from there. The reason I Contagion Red is that it has a 100% chance to be not-Red after the color swap, so it will be a priority kill one way or another.

If you kill green first before the switch, you have 100% chance of not dealing with green afterwards. This requires decent DPS, and if you kill 1-2 seconds before switch you can still get a green, but if you have the DPS for it I recommend it for both solo tank or two tank comps. After the green's dead, your WHM can just chill, DPS, or camp out the red golem's flame circle AoE to Fluid Aura it.

It requires SMN to focus on one enemy though when their time can be better spent dotting up all 3 golems.

With my group I just dot up the Green, Fester, and then move on to dotting up the other two. The Green is still dead long before it changes!
