Rotations

Single Target

Opening

Raging Strikes > Mega Int > Bio 2 > Miasma > Bio 1 > Fester (once bio shows up) > SwiftCast > Shadow Flare > Miasma II > Contagion > Ruin II > Spur > Ruin II > Fester > Rouse > Enkindle 3

DoTs

When Raging Strikes is up: Raging Strikes > Mega Int (if up 5min CD)> Fester(If all 3 Dots are up) > Bio 2 > Miasma > Bio 1 > Swiftcast > Shadow Flare > Contagion > Fester

When Raging Strikes Isn't Up: Keep Dots Refreshed > Contagion Every Minute

Fester

After getting your rolling dots on during Raging Strike, your next priority for your opening is to dump your Festers as quickly as possible. The goal is to never have fester and Aetherflow available at the same time. Outside of when Raging Strikes is up, timing doesn't matter as long as you Fester 3 times a minute while all 3 dots are up.

• Aetherflow every minute

Pet

Every Minute Rotate between Rouse, and Spur + Rouse

Use Enkindle Every 5 Minutes after the "Spur" or the "Spur + Rouse". It will rotate between them throughout the fight.

• IE: Minute 0 - Spur+Rouse+Enkindle Minute 5 - Rouse+Enkindle Minute 10 - Spur+Rouse+Enkindle

Contagion is used in dot rotation every minute.

Filler

Ruin on all unused GCD's

Ruin 2 on all unused OCD's

Movement

As with all classes, plan work to make your movements on OCD/Instant abilities, there are a lot with this class: Bio Fester Spur Rouse Enkindle SC + ShadowFlare Contagion Aetherflow If all those are unavailable/bad timed, Ruin 2

Burst

On a fight that requires Burst Damage (ie, titan) preperation is needed to maximize.

1. Have 3 Stacks of Aetherflow
2. Allow the following CD's to sit ready to use: Rouse Spur Enkindle Raging Strikes Mega Int Contagion Aetherflow
3. Refresh your dots right before the burst phase.
4. Drop shadow flare right before the burst phase.

Once Burst phase starts: Raging Strikes > Mega Int > Fester > Bio 2 > Miasma > Bio > Spur > Ruin 2 > Fester > Ruin 2 > Rouse > Ruin 2 > Enkindle > Swift Cast > Shadow Flare 5

Then normal Single Target rotation.

Rules and Tips

Raging Strikes is available every 3 Contagions, be sure to combine them. No one is perfect, so wait till they are both ready, and use them together.

Watch dot clipping. Be aware of how long it takes to cast a dot. Have it land when it's falling off. This is ESPECIALLY important on the Raging Strikes/Contagion rotation, as these dots are much stronger, and you don't want to overwrite them with weaker dots. The more you clip, the less of the other stuff your doing.

Know where your pet is. It may be behind you. Garuda doesn't fly away during big aoe attacks, and can be one shot. Don't be afraid to use a Heel or a Place to get it out of danger. Use Sustain if it's taking damage since party healers can't be expected to heal your pet. Your pet is a significant portion of your DPS.

Multiple Targets (AoE)

Opening

Raging Strikes > Mega Int > Bio 2 > Miasma > Bio 1 > SwiftCast > Shadow Flare > Contagion > Bane > Spur > Rouse > Aerial Slash
