Groups of Mobs

AoE DPS Rotation (as of 2.1):

(Swifcast) Shadow Flare -> (RS) Bio II -> Miasma -> Bio -> Miasma II - > (Contagion + Bane) -> Spam Blizzard II

When fighting packs of mobs, it should be common sense to try and have as many DoTs on as many different targets all at once. Your Aetherflow Stacks should mostly be used on Bane. This can sometimes get hairy for tanks that are not used to playing with SMNs as they will have to be on their toes and use Flash/other AoE hate generating tools generously to keep hate on the secondary and tertiary targets.

My general strategy is to use Swiftcast Shadow Flare first (for reasons listed above under the description of the macro). Then trigger QS/RS if available and load up on DoTs. Order of priority should be Bio II -> Miasma -> Bio -> Miasma II. This is due to the ranking of damage potencies for each ability. Once all these abilities are applied, use Contagion if it is available. After the duration of your DoTs have been extended, use Bane to spread it to all the enemies in the group (note: Bane only spreads the effect to three other targets aside from your main target, but you can use Bane a few times centred on different enemies to spread the effects further if there are more than four mobs in the grouping). Using this tactic you can have 5 DoTs on all of the targets quite easily.

If your group is trying to CC by sleeping most of the mobs, you can still use Bio II, Miasma and Bio, then use Bane. You can damage the sleeping targets this way without waking them. If you use Miasma II or Shadow Flare you will wake the targets.

New for 2.1!
We now have Blizzard II!

This is of course best to be used once all DoTs are up, durations extended, and Bane has been used to spread the effects. Once all the DoTs are applied you should have enough time to spam Blizzard II a few times before needing to reapply DoTs.

Blizzard II has had a potency nerf as of 2.1 and now only has 50 potency. Due to the potency nerf I would only recommend using this ability when it will hit 2 or more mobs and it is safe to move in close range. Otherwise, if you are only fighting a single target or the enemy AoE is too dangerous to get in close then Ruin II would be the better option.

Blizzard II has also been given an increased Bind duration. The potency nerf hurts SMN for obvious reasons, and the Bind buff does nothing for us since we already have Tri-disaster (see above).

Single Target (Boss)

Single Target DPS rotation:

(Swifcast) Shadow Flare (optional) -> (RS) Bio II -> Miasma -> Bio -> Miasma II - > Spam Ruin II (insert Fester where applicable)

The strategy to maximizing damage here is not all that different from groups of mobs, except instead of using Aetherflow stacks on Bane, you should use them on Fester. Shadow Flare is optional in this rotation – if you are not afraid to burn the Swiftcast CD then go ahead and use it. Otherwise, it does not do a whole lot of damage on just one target and could be skipped if need be.

Fester is a powerful ability that deals 100 potency for every Bio, Bio II and Miasma effect on the target for a potential of 300 potency with all three. Due to the nature of the ability, Fester should only really be used when all three DoTs are still active on your target or you greatly diminish the damage per Aetherflow stack ratio.

It is important to note that Fester has a much faster CD than Aetherflow. You can easily use 3x Fester and use up all your stacks before the CD for Aetherflow is up. This means you could be without stacks for a while. In order to avoid this, space out the use of Fester a bit, usually by re-applying DoTs in between. Just be sure to watch your MP usage as well, and use Energy Drain as needed.
