Thread: SMN and the 4.4 update rotation! :)

This update makes me realize how spoiled I was with Radiant Shield...

Hello.
I'd like to know if someone could explain.
With those new rotation update, I tried playing Garuda, but it happened to be a dps loss for me.
Does someone know what I could be doing wrong?
I switched back to only play Ifrit for now since I really was doing something bad with Garuda so...

Seriously if we could make garuda cast all her skills on CD but Contagion that'd just be amazing

@Silver

while sicfrit provided procs and mirrored dmg randomly u have to either have to micromanage ruda with con right before your burst phases manually or use the petswap opener and try to stay aligned to rudas con-Intervalls/rotation: /

Finding the new opener/ rotation pretty fiddly on controller, I'm no orange parser so I might just stick with Sicfrit given I usually PUG anyway.

I'm finding DoTs difficult to manage, though - they either just fall off pre or post Bahamut and the timing feels too tight for comfort compared to using it during Bahamut for the Wyrmwave.

pre-bahamut dots is manual refresh. post-bahamut is with tri-disaster

It doesn't falls off.
That happen if you only choose to display your own debuff on the target. Garuda being replaced by Bahamut, it's weird, but it's not considered as our own debuff anymore, but it's still here (can be checked by using focus target)

I know, it's the DoTs falling off before one of the refreshes that's my problem. I either apply the manual ones early enough not to fall off and they drop just before TD, or I meet TD by applying them a second too late.
