Connecting the DoTs: A Summoner Guide

[Judge_Xero]

The Dreadwyrm Stance does sounds strange. I hope it activates as soon as you use all your Aetherflow up.

What I would like to see if that is the case for those AOE and/or swap target burst scenarios would be

- Tri-Disaster -> Bane -> (All Aetherflow used up) -> Trance -> Death Flare

- Tri-Disaster -> Fester -> Trance -> (insert single target Bahamut Skill here) - probably a couple uses of the single target skill by the sounds of it.

30s might be much too late to get all your Dread Skills in.

--------------------------------------------------------------

But all in all, that is so much better than, -> B2, M, B -> Bane, Miasma II, Blizz II

Oh man 3-4 mobs.

SC Shadow Flare -> 3D -> Bane -> Miasma II -> Death Flare
3D - Shadow Flare (Contagion) -> Bane (Rouse/Spur) -> Miasma II (Enkindle) -> Death Flare

--------------------------------------

That changes the AOE potential so much when your Dot wind-up turns into your AOE Casts.

Shadow Flare - 250 Potency/Target
Miasma II - 70 Potency/Target

4 Targets - In nearly 1 GCD you could cast 4760 Potency not including Death Flare.

--------------------------------------

Single Target - The only situation I can think of where you could use Tri-Disaster as a DPS increase is if you can't have Shadow Flare in place on a boss pull. I think if you pre-cast Shadow Flare on the pull and then go into Tri-Disaster.

SF @ 250 Potency + Ruin X 2 (410 Potency > 300)

-------------------------------------

But I also saw that we'll be getting Ruin III, which might completely change everything especially if it has a high MP cost.

i.e. 150 Potency @ 200 MP - Then you have to compare hard casting your dots + MP cost (around 420 MP 300 Potency) VS 3D + Ruin III X 3 (600MP - 450 Potency)
