I'm really enjoying seeing this thread - so thanks so much for starting it, and everyone for partaking in it. I think Summoner is one of the more fun classes to play in this game ( granted, I do not have anything else at fifty personally ) but do love the DoTs. I wish the egi's were off the GCD and I could do stuff with them as I was casting.

I'd like to ask you more about Ruin - as I still feel like we'd be missing out on DPS if we stopped casting it. If you have garuda out, and she maxes out the dots, and shadow flare is down, you get a fester Cd of 10 seconds before you can cast something again. I would argue that with using Ruin I - you don't really run out of mana even if you spam it.

I agree with you on Titan, but there are plenty of 4 and 8 man fights where you don't need blind - and if you are on the run Ruin 2 is a great tool for getting a bit more DPS out.
