Connecting the DoTs: A Summoner Guide

That's a good point. That said, in most openers, you have a bunch of crap to put up in the initial DWT and I think it's not good to use it prior to DWT in your first 15s~ since that will be a R2 in DWT anyway.

Well in the opener, depending on how you do it, you can still sub out of a Ruin II, before DWT for a Miasma II assuming you use a Ruin II after Raging Strikes but before DWT. Also assuming mechanics permit you to be that close at this time. At that point we wouldn't be talking about substitution of a Ruin III under DWT but rather a direct comparison of Potency from a Ruin II outside that DWT vs a Miasma II + Contagion outside of DWT which is still a net gain to my knowledge as long as your Contagion catches it.
