SMN rotation

[Sanguisio]

Ill go over this when I get back at work at moment, I think all of you are a little confused by what I said.
Btw I was saying to do this when you have 3 stacks and aetherflow is off CD, so you wouldnt actually miss out on any festers, you would just be using the energy drain while fester was on CD.

What Madoka said. Even if you have Aetherflow ready and you have 3 stacks on pull, it's still better to go 3x Fester then Aetherflow. You have 1 minute to use 10 seconds cooldown 3 times which is more than plenty to not have to use Energy Drain as it still ends up being a damage loss no matter how you see it.

[Judge_Xero]

Yep. Since you can get two Festers into that Raging Strikes anyways and Energy Drain is only half the potency of Fester its worth it to wait the 10 seconds to use Fester. Getting Aetherflow back on CD 10 seconds faster wont make up for the 120 potency loss of using ED during RS over waiting for Fester.

[Synestr]

The two festers on RS is confirmed on my side. It is looking nice. I enjoyed smn before but it has gotten just a little bit better. ^.^

[Sanguisio]

Ok hands up I'm wrong, sorry for that.

However judge xero a ED on RS is 180 potency so its more than half, only weave in EDs when you need to burst or short on mana.

However, I havent seen anyone mention to use R2 when you need to use off GCD abilities.

[Madoka]

I mentioned it in my RS string. It's better to not worry about it until you have your foundations down though and work on including it as you get better. I see people who are way too overzealous on it and run out of MP halfway into a fight while I'm sitting at 1500-2000 mp and still doing more dps than they were.

[Skeith-Adeline]

So, I've a few questions.
I kite on T7, but I barely DPS. Any tips here? It's hard to Tab target with controller to DPS Melusine and then switch back between all adds in time to Miasma a Renaud. Also, opening rotation includes a few AoEs (Miasma 2, Enkindle). Should I avoid Enkindle? I won't Miasma 2 (fireball issues).

Also, do we ever use Energy Drain? I end up burning 2 when I have about 500-800mp left.

[Madoka]

Focus target melusine and hope you can quickly target your focus target? Never used controller, much less to kite.

M2 is fine to open as long as you're using contagion and out of there before fireball comes out, using enkindle early is also fine as long as garuda was buffed, it's not likely you'll be able to hit two targets with it during the fight anyway and if you save it for adds you might only use it once or might hit a petrified renaud.

You should only have to use ED if you die. We have a couple few second breaks of not casting anything getting a renaud in place across the fight

[Skeith-Adeline]

Against a dummy, I've hit 100mp in about 3-4 minutes. Is there a way to prevent this?

If you know you're getting Ballad at one point during encounters, then it's a non issue but if you won't get it, then the solution is to tone down on Ruin II usage and that can also only carry you so far. At one point, Energy Drain will have to be used, sadly.
