Connecting the DoTs: A Summoner Guide

[Sleigh]

I think what Avia Frost is asking about is the potential to do 4 DWT sets in the first 3 minutes, which is possible and likely a large (applicable to the fight's enrage) DPS gain but it would be a bit clunky, haven't given it too much thought. You would severely weaken at least one set of Aetherflow + Contagioned DoTs but you would gain a bunch of extra R3s and a potentially double hitting Deathflare, AKA 880 potency which is more extra potency than you gain from the 5 Festers + 3Ds getting buffed by 10% in all of the other 3 DWTs.

Haven't done this as I mentioned but it'd be something like ...

Opener 15s > Aether
DWT at 1m15s > Aether
DWT at 2m25s, must Deathflare within 1-5s due to 30s CD of Deathflare
DWT at 2m55s, get as much milk as you can, Deathflare a baited hand in

Your Hand of Pain DPS becomes doo-doo but before then is the same, and if you do get that free 880 potency Deathflare it's a huge gain. You won't notice it on a parse though, in fact it weakens your parse because DWT Shadow Flare + Deathflare on adds is basically the same thing (on paper) but your Hand of Pain is better. Probably recommended just for people trying to beat 1% enrage or trying to really speed run.
