So finally I'm getting started with Sigmascape Savage. Pretty sure I'll be able to beat O5S this weekend, and probably also at least get started on O6S. For now, I can pretty consistently kill the dummies for O5S-O7S. The problem for me comes at the O8S dummy. I can usually get it between 2-4% as long as I don't flub my usual rotation, but I can't seem to kill it yet. My ilvl is currently at 353, and my stats for both crit and DH are a good amount over 1700 now. Admittedly, I'm still pretty fresh into the job, as I've really only been playing it for about a month now.

Typically in my rotation I can get two pairs of DWT out in the time limit, one full Bahamut with Aetherflow for added Festers (also using Addle + Tri-D), and I feel like I do a pretty decent job of weaving OGCDs. I can also usually get Bahamut out for the last few seconds on the timer for a couple extra Wyrmwaves and an Akh Morn. Plus I'm usually pretty good about timing my DoTs so that the only time I need to refresh is a bit before Aetherflow comes off cd to be ready for Bahamut. And before anyone asks, I'm primarily using Ifrit for the pet on sic.

So I suppose I'd like to hear from more seasoned SMNs on their experience. At this point, I'm not entirely sure if the problem I'm having is with my rotation or with my gear, or maybe some combination of the two. Any input would be appreciated!
