A Summoners Bag of tricks

He might, if he actually leveled SMN.

Go level BLM and start -aga stuff, you will find out that more mobs = less damage per mob.

But then again, you are the one with the hardon for WAR.

BLM is that failure on the right, not the failure in the middle. Would someone find this illiterate guy irl and tell him what ability and what job is being discussed?

Back in campaign, one of the biggest cheats was to buy one of the bombs from the NPC, summon your avatar, use the bomb, and back out of its range. If it diffused and didn't explode, your avatar became free of cost. I don't know if it still works or if that's the exact correct order... or if it's even safe (I don't know how SE can ban anyone for a cheat in their own programming though), but it was how a lot of summoners use to do campaign back in the day.

The best way to solo hard monsters as a summoner is to not use assault or bloodpacts ever, and to use your cheapest avatar. Back at 75 this use to be Carbuncle, and the term "Carby kiting" became pretty big. What you do is you pop the monster (or if it's already up, one assault), then run far far away. When the monster is completely out of range and you're plenty far from getting aggro, you wait until your avatar dies, resummon, let your summon find the monster, and run past them both to another area out of range of that monster. Continue this until the monster's health is low enough, and bring out your big guns, such as Garuda.

That strategy use to be the best way to solo XP back in the day pre75 and pre-Spirit Taker. Of course everything has now changed about SMN, so I don't know. ^^;

Well, smart guy, how many AoE abilities do you have, at one time? I mean, of course, not including 2hr.

Funny, Raz was talking about the SMN 2hr. Your reading skills are absolutely the worst I have ever seen.

I'm surprised you didn't mention Thunderspark tbh. I was waiting for that.

Besides, I wasn't talking to him, I was talking to you. And you postulate that my reading skills are below par. Well, the accusation goes back to you.

Korpg, if you are going to interrupt others and not bother to know what the topic is, just expect to look illiterate.

Here's you: OMG, my WAR's WS is so good because it isn't reduced by number of targets! Take that BLM with your "aga"s!

You deserve to be laughed out of here.

You still never answered the question. You instead take my words out of context and spew "illiterate" all over the place.

In fact, I gave you the answer, and you still accuse me of not reading.

You just trolling son. Very badly if I do say so myself. You have yet to get a negative response out of me in, how many months now?

[Dallas]

Why do you feel you deserve any responses from me, Korpg?

[Korpg]

A little conceited, aren't you?
