Connecting the DoTs: A Summoner Guide

Good job, nice parse! But next time if possible show Outgoing Damage instead of All Outgoing, the 32.58 dps from Aetherflow might be misleading.

It is pretty hard compare parses since we get more and more gear every week. Before alex it was easy compare parses, because everybody had pretty much same gear. 180 and 190 have pretty big difference in mainstats if you compare like 170 and 180 gear. If you look(ring piece) 170 gear it give you 35 int and 180 gear give you 36 int, but once you get 190 gear your stat jump to 40 int.

My current parse with the pot and food, I used apkallu cause i'm poor, excuse me for being too filthy. ):

Here is the rotation I used with my ghetto connection:

Bio 2 -> Miasma -> Bio -> Painflare -> Fester -> R2 -> Swiftcast -> Shadowflare -> Rouse -> Spur -> R2 -> Raging -> Pot -> Fester -> R2 -> DWT -> Enkindle -> R2 -> Tri-D -> Painflare -> Ruin3 -> Ruin3 -> Fester -> Deathflare. [raging ends here]


Please note that you can squeeze a 3rd Ruin 3 in during DWT with 20-40 ping or lower and squeeze a ruin 2 before the pot ends for deathflare. The reason I'm typing this down is because I'm wasting a few seconds just trying to activate enkindle and the int pot. I'm at 233 ping connecting to Cerberus via WTFast sadly and it's really painful. I got 2 fester crits and 0 deathflare crits.

I will test it out with garuda, probably more sustained burst in the first 2 mins with pot, but I doubt it could get higher than ifrit.

Feel free to critique and show some love. Gil donations are appreciated. ;_;
Just kidding don't ban me please.

thank you kicoe for helping with the opener brainstorming!

snip.

Got 1168 with Garuda. 13% crit. I think Garuda is honestly better on dummies since like Krolex stated, Radiant Shield doesn't really do anything on a dummy.

I am lucky I had plenty of gil saved from FCoB pre echo sales as well as my own personal food/pot provider otherwise I would be broke. I have 0 crafters/gatherers ;_;

I would donate gil if we were on the same server but alas, that isn't the case. {I'm sorry}

on the long term ifrit is better on single target, if you keep parsing with garuda I think it'll eventually keep dropping. It's the opener that's boosting garuda's parse for just 3-4 mins imo.

Aww thank you <3
I could then tie you up and get money out of you since you are a cute little lala.

No so sure about that - ifrit only really does like 20 more dps single target than garuda - and since radiant shield contributes nothing on the dummy, contagion = 3 ruins extra per minute plus extra dps from extending DWT dots plus opener fully buffed dots.

i'm sure it's more than 20 dps. Ifrit's autos should cover the extra ruins you are getting from contagion. Also those buffed contagion dots are around 3 more ticks, so the only burst you will be noticing is within the opener. The parse should drop eventually to a certain point and at that certain point ifrit will be on top because of its consistency. These are my thoughts though, no numbers to prove this with yet.

I'll go for a marathon parse when my connection stops slacking.

I'll do some parses as well - but my rotation with garuda is a lot more aggressive - I ruin 3 a lot outside of DWT

Unsure if, assuming you end every fight OOM, if using Ruin II (and autoattacking) for every ruin is better or worse than Ruin III outside of DWT.

Will have to experiment a bit.

I have done this recently multiple times to test - i183 with a hive weapon so I can provide some insight here. On a 5 minute dummy parse with just the pet attacking, with just Garuda (Obey) and Ifrit(Sic) - Ifrit wins by about 30 dps - which would be amplified a bit with Rouse and Spur usage.
