Connecting the DoTs: A Summoner Guide

[urgentpicnic]

Question - do DoT ticks that are boosted by something like DWT still remain at that increased potency after DWT has worn off?

I'm still working through the early new content and dungeons and don't have the new bells and whistles yet, but i'm trying to figure out the best options for AoE, and it seems that Bane may be entirely worthless in favor of Painflare now.

By my math (and i'm no math wiz), the only scenario I can find that Bane would offer more DPS than Painflare on a mob pack is if you apply it to a DWT buffed Tri-disaster when there are only 2 enemies. So in theory, to make it worth it, at the end of DWT, you'd have to Tri-disaster, Death Flare, and Bane all within 3 seconds.

And even if you do that - it's only an extra 47 potency max over 30 seconds, compared to Painflare.

EDIT - man, I am bad at math. Nevermind - I was only comparing 3 PF to 1 Bane, not considering the advantages of adding 1 bane and then 2 PF. lol.
