I play SMN as my main DPS and wanted to see what other SMNs use in Dreadwym Trance.

My rotation for Dreadwyrm:

Raging Strikes>Dreadwyrm>Tri-Disaster>Contagion(if using Garuda)>Ruin III spam>Deathflare with about 1-3 seconds left on Dreadwyrm Trance.

Is this the proper rotation? Is there something else I could be doing to increase DPS? Should I start using INT potions?

My ilvl is around 180. I haven't really been focusing on gear for SMN yet. Mostly because I need to tank or heal for FC members. But mostly tank. So that's where my Esos are going. I do, however, have the SMN Eso weapon. So my next questions are:

How many Ruin IIIs should I be trying to get off?

What's a good spell speed for SMNs running stuff like Alexander HM and Void Ark?

Thanks in advanced!
