Connecting the DoTs: A Summoner Guide

Hmm, an update on the rotation: Saving that last fester after the first DWS falls off, and using it right before the Alteration stacks fall off. This ensures you can always have AF stacks when going in DWS.

Oh, I didn't think about that. Good call.

Initially after the first DWS rush I had considered using festers only and skipping the painflare but you get into 2nd dws a few seconds late doing that. I'm hunt spamming right now so I'll try it out again and see if it helps. That said, getting into it a second or two late is more than worth the buffed potency for the 2nd fester in dwt

I wonder if Enkindle should be used inside Dreadwyrm Trance.

Doesn't get affected by DWT.

If anyone has yet to reach 60 but has a rotation in mind they want to try, please write it so I can try them all out and compare the differences.

Not to go OT of your video's intent but damn controller SMN looks like it requires super nimble fingers to play at a high level.

Yeah, I saw that and was like wtf. The first time I watched it I was like wtf is he hitting cause he kept switching bars immediately. I thank the razer gods every day for making a mouse like the Naga because I don't know if I would be able to play SMN without one...

How is AoE to be handled with Ifrit? By that I mean, the flow of your reapplication of DoTs. IE:

In a pull you put up all 3 DoTs, Bane. Eventually Bio runs out, with Miasma about to run out and Bio II with a relatively small amount left. Generally just doing Bio > Bane is pretty big waste, especially because you should only be doing one more Bane and you'd be wasting Painflares otherwise. How should a situation like that be handled? Refresh all DoTs starting from Bio II once Bio runs out and then just Bane again? Mainly just Miasma > Bio > Bane to reapply?

[Meleoffs]

I always just reapplied dots starting from bio then baned to not cut the dots currently on the target by too much.

For AoE, after the first set of DoTs begins to fall off, if mobs have enough HP, just redot and Bane again. If they are about to die though, Painflare, Miasma II and Ruin IIs with AAs

[Judge_Xero]

Wouldn't you just 3D Bane prior to Miasma falling off?

If 3D is on CD I usually B2MB Bane before Miasma falls off. Always want that 40 potency ticking the longest on all mobs.
