Job Manifesto discussion RE: Summoner

Give me a situation and I'll test it for you.

**Edit

Did we say if the hate goes to the summoner or the avatar?

**Edit

Well got a bunch of mobs, used Shocksquall as soon as stun was off, they attack Ramuh once and went for me. Only hate I had was the dia from the mobs and the summoning of Ramuh to use shocksquall.

I'm assuming hate goes to avatar. I don't know if the tables are still accurate, but it looks like /blu is the way to go. Otherwise you may need a WHM. Keep in mind I am no expert.

MP drainkiss is 320 CE, 0 VE.

Tests on some L1 critter (I think):

1) Stunga pull, use pollen on self a couple times to see if enmity switches back to SMN. If so, it's all VE. (I think at this point you'd need help)
2) Stunga pull one mob, see how many times you can MP Drainkiss. CE < 320 x # of casts
3) Stunga pull 2 mobs, see if CE is the same on multiple mobs.

That's all I can think of. A less civilized test would be Stunga > whack with stick until it turns > add up damage.

OK scratch that... sounds like 0 enmity lol. Medic!

Didn't see if anyone mentioned it yet, but looks like SE is also nerfing Elemental Siphon.

<huh!?> What do you mean, in what way is it nerfed?

Less mp returned. On normal servers i get a return of 504 when using element of same day, on test server its 466.

I thought that at first, but when I tried it my results were more abysmally obvious (but, it was before I realized that the moogle had screwed up my Summoning Magic Skill and for some reason it was at 55)

Are you positive your SMN skill was capped when you got the bad results?

Yeah, i double checked, had 454 smn skill and +20 elemental siphon augmented Tatsumaki sitagoromo in both instances.

I saw nothing wrong with Elemental Siphon.

I've done it 30+ times now, all with the same result.
I am getting the same numbers at level 95 on test server as I do at 90 on regular though.
Are you saying you're getting increased numbers on test server?
