Help. How to maximize dps as a SMN

[EvilJoshy]

For alot of your questions you will find the answer here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...JxzqXd3LQBPy1E

tyvm for the link. This guide has shown me I've lost touch with some of the changes since last time I got to raid. I changed jobs in RL when HW came out so I didn't get to raid with my group because of the change in work times. I was working graveyard shift so I couldn't find a stable group who could raid my hours so I skipped raid in HW. My methods were outdated and improvised without checking the forums for optimization. If I can implement these changes into my play style I believe I can push my dps higher.

(I'll still lvl rdm cause I like the hat) >.>

Incase anyone else is experiencing this problem i found the answer to my 9th question.

9: If we contagion then smn bahamut, contagion magically disappears. When SB first came out I could have sworn it didn't used to do that. Did SE patch that to screw with us even more or am I imagining things?


I have it set so I do not see other party members debuffs. Tonight we cleared OS3 and my party noticed this. I would contagion and then smn bahamut but on my screen it would look like contagion would disappear. On their screens however it was still on the boss. So I am guessing when Garuda is replaced with bahamut, the game considers her buff a party member buff. So it looks like contagion wore off but it is actually still there.
