SMN AoE Filler

[RiisWolf]

Yeah I finally got the DWT and it sure is putting a dent in my ability to maximize AoE DPS. By the time I get DWT, my shadow flare ends along with my other DoTs on other targets, and with no charges for bane I'm struck down Misma2, Shadow Flare, and Bliz 2 for all targets excluding the one I Tri-Disaster.

How to deal with this?

Also, I'm wondering how many forums and stuff backing this whole bliz2 thing. All this research and I'm still gone on deaf ears by the peeps I keep getting in arguments with, because "OH IT'S WEAK", or "OH IT SUCKS FOR BLM THEREFORE IT SUCKS ALL FOR ALL" or "OH YOU USE IT ONLY FOR THE BIND"

I find it very annoying to constantly see only myself take advantage of Bliz2 in huge mob battles.

So what's up with this?

I find myself feeling the same way most of the time TBH, but as someone mentioned above... PUGs be PUGs.... I feel like I'm the only SMN who knows what Blizzard II is sometimes lol. Simple math would say if theres 2 Enemies or more Blizz 2 is the best option, Unless in Dreadwyrm then Its 3 Or more.

Tri-disaster, Contagion, and Aetherflow are all 60s, so you can get them to line up easily. Since you have 3 stacks of 30s each, you can essentially enter DWT whenever you want, timing it for Aetherflow and getting Shadow Flare up first.

Blizzard 2 is pure math. 2 targets always beats Ruin 1/2, 3 targets always beats Ruin 3. That's not arguable. Only thing arguable is if the tank/leader wants a specific mob burned first.

I have no idea why people keep bashing Blizzard 2... after my dots and all the tralalala, I'm spamming it like a lvl50 blm would spam fire. It's very simple, Blizzard 2 is the best filler skill for when there are 2 or more targets. Unless you're in DWT, then use Ruin 3 for 2 targets, and Blizzard 2 for 3 or more targets.
