SUMMONER "rotation/priority"

[Neela]

yeah true.

I think figuring out what's the best combo time-/cd-wise is the biggest challenge for this cls atm. In theory R3-R2-Fester-Virus should be a 7 hit combo with a total potecy of 1040 (150+100+150+4x160) without taking Ruination into account...

Haven't tried it yet but is there enough time for a rota like this:

Ahk Morn > Tri >
R3/4 > R2 > Fester >
R3/4 > R2 > Painflare >
R3/4 > R2 > Fester >
Ahk Morn >
Virus

+ filling the remaining time (if there is some) with just R3/4+R2 ?

edit: oh and what about the rumor that melee auto-atks trigger shockwave as well? heard it but dunno if its true...

I'm i314 fully VI melded, currently pulling 4200-4400 dmg in susano ex dummy without party buffs and food.

Some tips:

1 - Use Ruin II to weave your OGCDs.

2 - Spam Ruin III like a madman, you can spam it a lot now that we've been given lucid dream.

3 - Before using DT, always check your aetherflow cooldown. If possible, don't burn DT when your aetherflow is more than 20 seconds. Why? Because you want to aetherflow as soon as possible when your DT runs out, so that you can use the next 3 festers inside the dots of your last tridisaster (hardcasting the dots only for the next 3 festers will be a dps loss).

4 - Don't summon Bahamut when your pet is roused or has used contagion, as those 2 spells will completely go to waste. Don't forget to cast both akh morns. Try using Bahamut when your 3 aetherflow stacks are ready to use, that'll give more wyrmwaves. Use Ruin II when Bahamut is almost about to leave (if you hardcast one of the other 2 ruins it's very likely bahamut will leave in the middle of one of your casts). Use addle for an extra wyrmblade.

5 - Don't be scared of using Ifrit. He's actually very viable this time around. Putting him on sic isn't that bad of a choice. Try it if you want.

6 - You won't be able to do this always but if you see it possible try burning all OGCDs before entering DT, you don't want to lose any Ruin III uptime during DT because that can very well mean one Ruin III less at the very least.
