SMN continued...

Achieving exceptional DPS on SMN calls for a few things. DoTs. Keeping them up when appropriate and when to reapply. Keeping your pet alive and attacking, often times when things go invulnerable, the pet will derp and not attack anything until given a command to do so, as well as proper ability use, mostly Garuda and proper contagion use. Weaving oGCDs/Fester after either Bio or Ruin II. Melee. When applicable stand in melee range and smack the enemy. Casting. Like the blm, less movement more casting. Since the SMN can weave in Ruin II they have a little more freedom of movement and like the bard will likely handle more movement sensitive mechanics.
