Instead, I'm sitting here waiting on Garuda to finish a chain of Wind Blades.
    Normally in an AoE situation, I don't need to do my full RS + Contagion + Bane rotation. Unless im doing T5. Which isn't like any other fight in this game. Typically the mobs don't live long enough for me to have to redot and bane again, let alone waste a contagion on them.

    No, normally you don't. The only time you Bane contagion'd DoTs is when you have RS up? The only time DPS matters is when you have RS up? You never use Contagion unless you are in T5? You never have any fights where you can get a full 45 seconds worth of DoTs in outside of T5?

    Reeks of BS to me. I mean, you're basically advocating sub-par play simply because you're not in T5.

    Woah woah woah!! Don't take what I said out of context. I was simply saying that the MAJORITY of the time things die before your normal DOTs fall off, let alone needing to Contagion and then bane them. Don't get me wrong. There's plenty of reasons to Contagion on ANY fight that lasts for more than 45 seconds. I only said that NORMALLY the mobs die first.
