A new summer that needs some help

[Mshtola_Khai]

Hello,

I recently leveld summoner to 60 and I want to make this my main class and be concidered a good summoner I dont have to be the best I just want to be decent. It seems all the rotations out there that I can find are only the openers and I need some help figuring out what my core rotation should be.

Right now the opener tat i use is: B2 > M > B > Swift + Fester > Shadowflare > Rouse + Spur > R2 > Pot > R2 > RS + Pain > R2 > Fester + DWT > R2 > Aether + Enkindle > R2 > 3D > R3 > R2 > Fester > R3 > R2 > Deathflare

but once I do that rotation im fuzzy what what I should do.

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

This is the thread you want to read through and best to ask advice in since it keeps the forums clean.

If you go Painflare->Fester->Painflare in the opener you can get 2x Fester into DWT.

You should use Tri-Disaster+Contagion in DWT, because their CDs are 1 min, too, so they line up with use of DWT/AF.

Nevertheless you should end every DWT with 2 stacks of AA and one remaining stack of AF (sometimes it may be 1 stack AA and 2 stacks AF left)...
Outside of DWT your priorities are: Keep DoTs up, keep Shadowflare up (thanks to duration/CD of swiftcast it lines up well, too), use Egi-Buffs on CD and (important) use your last AF-stack only when AF-CD is somewhere below 30s, so you have 3 AF-stacks ready again, when entering DWT.

AF, AA, AF, AA... argh.
