Summoner tips?

I see a lot of times people said Thunder is not worth using. To me, I see it is worth it since I can manage my mana pool. Don't know what others think?

Use Thunder.

if you have vent, and you guys are raiding harder content (which means there's usually a countdown), always hard cast shadowflare during the countdown when the situation allows it. right when the tank is counting down from ''3 2 1''.

If you have a fester (and you should, because you can anticipate the gaols), you should always 3 set the dots and then fester, then move into ruin spam.

Assuming the add lasts 10 seconds,

Ruin spam : 80 p/gcd, 320 p
Bio->ruin spam : 120p + 240p = 360p
Bio->Bio2->ruin spam : 120p + 70p + 160p = 350p
Bio->Bio2->fester (or Bio2->bio|fester)->ruin spam : 120 + 70 + 200 + 160 = 550p
Bio2->Miasma->bio|fester->ruin: 105 + 90 + 40 + 300 + 80 = 615p

And that is with unlucky (lowest possible) number of ticks.

So full rack of dots + fester is almost double the potency of ruin spam itself, and a half rack of dots is about the same, better if it dies sub 8 or so seconds. Furthermore, if it lasts more than 10 seconds, obviously more dots is more dps.

You shouldn't need to keep your attention on the gaol for longer than it takes to fester once, and maybe ruin->ruin2 to finish off that 10 seconds.
