I will get 3-4 Ruins3 and more potent DoTs. Sorry, I can't argue with math.
No... SS counts recast timer, which is the basis for the Deathflare rotation and Aetherflow recast of 1 minute.

I can do about 3 Deathflares in any given normal boss battle... only 2 with a good sidecar DPS who puts out really good damage. And that is all dependent upon Aetherflow stacks and the recast on it.

Usually you save it when the boss mob is low because you have to have it ready for the next large trash pack or you have no AoEs.

You guys got caught up in the minutiae and didn't look at the overall picture. Its why you ended up losing and putting out less DPS in reality while other SMN were outdamaging you.

You somehow mysteriously thought this whopping 10% damage while in Dreadwrym was the be all end all... it wasn't.

You were only squeezing an extra 300 damage out of it max. So Wow... you mega outdamaged me didnt you... oh wait... no you really didn't.
