Connecting the DoTs: A Summoner Guide

[Fyce]

@Fyce Why are you not waiting with bahamut summon until aetherflow is back up so you can use all 3 stacks during bahamut (and addle) for extra wyrmwaves.
The DoT clipping makes you lose a lot of potency already.
Further, you can't use radiant shield with bahamut out.

You're right for Radiant Shield. I was focused on the animation delay for using it after summoning, so I forgot that ifrit wasn't on the field anymore. Derp.
But yeah, delaying everything by 15s might be worth it. For Triple Fester Shockwaves.

This change made swapping Egis at this moment is quite hard to do. Also, summoning Ifrit in order to use Radiant Shield should have quite a big delay as Radiant Shield is best applied on the main tank so it might be quite unresponsive.
Besides, having Contagion up for the Bahamut and the Triple Fester is more important than Radiant Shield.
So I relocated the summoning... Which raised an issue: Contagion will be up way sooner than Swiftcast, so we should expect a 15-20s Contagion lost in terms of cooldown uptime. I don't know if summoning Ifrit for Radiant Shield is worth it. It probably is.

Thanks.

So, I made drastic changes to the second half or the rotation:
- "Ruin time" is now a thing, along with DoT refresh and a few Ruins.
- This is now super Ruin III heavy. I didn't calculate MP consumption, so people should assume that if mana gets too low, Ruin I should be used instead of Ruin III. I also didn't took Ruin IV procs into account.
- Contagion is now used one GCD before summoning Bahamut, in order to secure the first Akh Morn. With the delay, I still don't think that having the two Akh Morn inside Contagion is doable. Need more ingame testing.
- Delayed the Bahamut summoning by 15 seconds in order to be able to Triple Fester while Bahamut is on the field.
- This had a positive impact on Tri-disaster usage, meaning that DoTs clipping shouldn't be there anymore.
- The Ruin II after the second Akh Morn should proc a Shockwave before Bahamut goes away.

Picture updated.

Edit: I just realized that the second Shadowflare could be used a bit later in order to be under Contagion. I won't edit again right now, but... yeah.

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

Unless Stormblood changed that, yes, the buff stays for the whole duration.
