Connecting the DoTs: A Summoner Guide

[Fatshine]

Hey Avalen I updated my thread. Has anyone found any enmity changes with Titan?

[OneWingedSora]

I wish I can provide a parse but I'm a PS4 player. In A1 Savage I did 1300 on Faust was was doing 1100 on Oppressor on average. I am using Sohm Al Tart HQ. My rotation below:

Bio II > Miasma > Bio > Painflare + Fester > Ruin II > Swiftcast > Shadowflare > Rouse + Spur > Ruin II > Enkindle + Fester > Ruin II > Aetherflow > Ruin II + Xpot > Dreadwyrm Trance + Raging Strikes + Tri-Disaster > Miasma II + Contagion > Fester > Ruin III x3 > Fester + Deathflare

Any thoughts? I know it's far from optimized.

Try out Sleigh's opener. It was posted on HaiHai's guide.

Is that 1100 the kill DPS ? Did you have a bard &/or NIN ?

We didn't get to kill it on the first night (tonight). Our DPS comp is DRG, SMN, BLM, BRD, so no Trick Attack

DPS will drop by quite a bit since you will kill it right after the 3rd jump(lots of downtime). I can see 1.15k being possible with BRD/NIN and perfect rotation throughout the fight. SMN is definitely king there.

Yeah and next time I'll make sure to keep my dots up on the other oppressor.

I did 1600+ on faust and 970ish on the oppressor with a death, gave it 2-3 hours of tries and got it to enrage but not a kill sadly, I think I can do higher today.

Kill vid

Was at 1160ish before Mini. No BRD/NIN. I think 1.2k is definitely possible without any mess ups and having Bard & Nin.

I think I need a bit of help, since the SMN priority system seems to have changed quite a bit. You guys are regularly parsing over 1100 on a dummy, but I'm consistently stuck at 965. Any tips for what I could be doing better? I think my opener is okay, it's just prioritizing use of DWT and stuff afterward that makes me take a sharp nosedive on numbers.

EDIT: should mention that I'm i182, Hive wep, did parse with no food or pots, no party bonus, with Garuda, for 4.5 minutes.

Sorry for the late reply, your enkindle should be in the pot's duration since pets get buffed by the pot, also raging will still be up for a while if you use it during dread stance it's a waste.

You can try this rotation with ifrit or garuda. You will spike up to 1900-2000 dps easily. (with party buff and pot or just a party buff with a good crit rate)

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]

This opener is very strong with garuda as well. If you do not plan on using a pot you can pretty much go with this opener:

Bio 2 -> Miasma -> Bio -> Painflare -> Fester -> R2 -> Swiftcast -> Shadowflare -> Rouse -> Spur -> R2 -> Enkindle -> Raging -> R2 -> Painflare -> AF -> R2 -> DWT -> Tri-D -> Fester -> Ruin3 x4 -> R2 -> Fester -> Deathflare. [raging ends here]

you can squeeze a contagion between the Ruin3s, I just don't bother with miasma 2 on single target.
These are the openers I go with, hope this helps!

I plan on using pots for raid, just didn't feel like wasting them on a dummy parse is all. I appreciate the rotations linked with all tools at our disposal being used so I can use them in actual content, not just dummy practice.

That said, I reach pretty good numbers on my opener; it's afterward where I start to fumble. I feel like I should be spacing out my stack usage so that when Raging comes back up I'll have 6 stacks at my disposal...is this accurate? If so, how would I go about doing this? By only burning stacks when Aethertrail Attunement is about to fall off, or...?

I'm at work now, so sadly no practice until this evening, but I'm re-reading all the info posted here to try to get a feel for our new "rotation". >__<
