Connecting the DoTs: A Summoner Guide

That's perfectly fine, imo, so long as you're filling your GCDs with something (Blizzard II is a good choice if the group is 4+ enemies). 3D isn't worth saving for Dreadwyrm in trash pulls because you just want to use one stack of aetherflow in one pullanyways. You also can start dealing great damage in no time thanks to TD's instant application of everything.

So 3 things, 1 what is 3D, 2 what is TD( trance?) 3 um i dont use blizzard 2........ I usually have everything almost dead so either i just spam ruin or I reply my dots

Also for some reason, sometimes when i try to go into trance my GC starts the cooldown but i dont get the trance buff, is this happening to anyone else?

1. 3D = Tri-Disaster
2. TD = Tri-Disaster (not sure why they didn't just use 3D again)
3. Blizzard 2 is a good filler in AoE situations rather than spamming Ruin I or II on a single target

I need bis 230 purchase under armor for the brand. I will insert 5 only matter on critical chance and determination. Can not determine the best ratio. Judging by cap stats in armor critical chance intermeddle more than determination. Meld crits everywhere where possible,I will get me it seems too little determination. Please advise how to insert critical chance and how much determination. What number should turn out ideally for good damage.

Crit stacks exponential, Det linear. however the jump from det 4 to det 5 is 100%(6 -> 12), while for crit its 33%(9 ->12). Therebefore i recommend stacking crit v, otherwise det v.

on the calculator I get as a result 502 det and 732 Crit. 502 det its good?

I don't like leveling secondary jobs to get cross-class skills. For Archer, does leveling to 28, give SMN "enhanced" Raging Strikes, or still "normal" RS?

Do you find, having or not having Quelling Strikes, a make-or-break point?

The Raging Strikes you get initially is the cross-class version, leveling Archer or Arcanist further does not enhance it for Arcanist.

Quelling Strikes is a niche skill in raiding/trials, you'd need a BRD in your party and a woefully underskilled/undergeared tank to rip hate even in your opener. In dungeons, it can be handy if your tank has less than stellar aggro, but a good tank does not require Quelling to be used.

what are yalls rs timings for a6s on a clean run? its a long enough fight to get 4 in, but i can only really find 3 places to use it effectively - very beginning of blaster, first wave of adds on swindler, and once during vortexer.

Blaster beginning > Swindler beginning if LBing the adds as IMO you should with LB2 > Once in Vortexer, either 2nd or 3rd DWT

The downtime of the timed Brawler phase really hurts the "should get 4 RS" thing realistically, unfortunately.
