Connecting the DoTs: A Summoner Guide

[T0rin]

Obviously I'm no summoner so I cannot give examples where SS will be better due to mechanics.

With ~715 SS, I've noticed that I can fit an extra GCD comfortably inside DWT, where I could not back when I had 5xx SS. For the same MP, that's an extra 40 potency in every DWT.

Fairly minor thing, but SS makes a lot of fairly minor improvements possible. And isn't that what optimization is all about?

Edit: One thing I've seen a lot of, is people mentioning that "SS doesn't reduce GCD enough to get an extra cast", which in some cases will be true. It ignores the fact of things like Raging Strikes, Potions and DWT where you get buffed damage within a finite window of time, and if you can get 6 GCDs inside of a buff instead of 5, you don't need to get the benefit of a full extra GCD to see a potency improvement.
