    So I know the most important thing in our rotation is keeping our dot's up but outside of that, should I be spreading out my fester so that I have aetherflow up as well as tri-disaster? About how long do you give inbetween each fester or time it so that you're not wasting your stacks but still doing optimal damage with fester?

    Is Fester up? Are all 3 Dots up? Do you need to Bane in the immediate future and is this your last Aether Flow Stack?

    If you answered Yes, Yes, No. Fester immediately. Rinse & Repeat. You want to get rid of your Aetherflow stacks as soon as possible while maximizing DPS so you can, A. Get into Dreadwyrm Stance, and B. Be able to pop Atherflow when that CD comes back up.

    In an ideal world you Fester twice in DWT, then Fester around the time of your next Bio which is just under 30 seconds away from Aetherflow's CD. Get Aetherflow back, rinse and repeat. That's assuming you don't need Bane, Painflare, or Deathflare targeted at something specific, and assuming there are no phase pushes that jeopardize this strategy. There usually are, in raids.

    Really though just make sure your last Aetherflow stack is at least used after Aetherflow has reached the halfway point of being off CD. Any adaptations to your Aetherflow usage is fight-by-fight.

    So have aetherflow used right before DWT and use fester as soon as i pop it, use it again right before DWT is done and finish with painflare then use fester for the third time within thirty seconds with bio? that'll keep my cooldowns lined up?

    If you use a 2 Fester, 1 Painflare opener, yes you only get one Fester in the initial DWT.

    i use the 2 fester 1 painflare, but since the second one is right before, I dont get the fester until the end of DWT. Guessing I can start it during the next DWT though.

    Here's a n00000b question, maybe answered already before, here or on reddit... but answer it anyway please.

    Q1: If there are 4 or more mobs, is it okay to spam Blizzard II in Dreadwyrm trance?

    And another one.

    Q2: I always try to to fully extend my DOTs ASAP after applying them on a mob with Contagion before I Bane it onto all the other ones. Is this considered good, advisable or bad practice?

    1. Sure if MP allows for it. You can even spam it against 3 opponents if MP is of no concern.

    2. It depends on the duration of the mobs. In good groups often Contagion is not worth waiting for, and I would advise using Ifrit in dungeons anyway for the most part. If those DoTs are going to survive for 40s+ on each target? Heck yes, Contagion before you Bane.
