The opener I preach is pretty easy IMO, it's in the OP, or you can try Haven's and see if you find you get more damage out of that.

Basic priorities of a SMN in single target fights, which should help you understand what an opener should look like:

- Use 3 stacks, stretched out. 2 in DWT (unless your opener doesn't allow for this on the first DWT), 1 when Aethertrail is sub-10s so you can keep Aethertrail up until your next Aetherflow.
- Cast as many R3s in DWT as humanly possible. Use 3D in DWT, don't use Shadow Flare in DWT (depending on opener it should line up fine regardless).
- Use Rouse/Spur on CD, Enkindle also used on CD but you may wish to be more selective about its use.
- ROUGH priority for stacks: 3+ target Bane > 2 target Bane with buffed + Contagioned DoTs that will live long enough > Painflare on 2+ targets > Fester >>>> Painflare/Energy Drain (mostly used for burst if you absolutely need it, like ending a fight suddenly or killing an add who will otherwise wipe the group). This is just a loose guideline of your priority; there are exceptions based on how long enemies will live and other requirements per the fight. About 90% of the time you will just use Fester with the occasional Bane.
