Connecting the DoTs: A Summoner Guide

[Sleigh]

Haven't played SMN in 3 months, since we were like i195~ and our pushes were slow as balls, but basically the whole fight is a DWT saving game. Stagger out Festers/Banes (if Baning) well enough that you can use DWT + 3D in an efficient manner, if the leg only has 15s or less on it don't even bother with DWT or 3D until the next leg. Most SMNs I've seen use 3D on their Jagd instead of with DWT on legs 3 and up, for burst aggro purposes I imagine. Don't sac if you can help it, at worst you should be the only DPS to sac if you are saccing because a healer + OT should always sac with a SMN in the group. RS start > leg 3 > start of final phase > whatever timing works best for your final RS, preferably with pot and the group's final Litany.

Already doing these. I don't 3d on add, I just manually cast then fester and that's enough to get aggro.
