(Un)Official Arcanist/Summmoner Feedback Thread

Hmm, mostly thinking about AK, since thats what I've been doing the most of.

Generally, with a lower geared tank if you kill the first out of the tri-pack pulls its much easier for the healer to heal them up, esp if they again are lowered geared, so have worse AoE threat.

I never even thought about using miasma 2 for packs, it didn't seem worthwhile, and Tri-disaster is also a dps loss on 3 targets so i usually tridot contagion, shadowflare bane, then tab thunder and spam ruin.

I've had healers also spam Holy when the tank is well geared, so trash packs just melt.

EDIT: guess I will try miasma2 + contagion for add packs.

Yeah, after you DoT + Bane -> Shadowflare -> Thunder each target it's better to Miasma II than it is to Ruin. You can use Miasma II first if you want more damage ticking on each mob before you apply thunder, too.

That said for AK, no matter what gear level I haven't had someone that could consistently hold AoE aggro off throughout a whole run. So I'm normally tanking 1 mob of the pack which lightens the load on lower geared tanks. Sometimes the healers are lower geared and can't keep us both up, so I heal myself because all my AoE is already out there anyways.

My only real issue is that I first went Scholar but now because my FC is full of healers I've started the switch to Summoner. I like both classes but it sucks that I've already went and got my Scholar relic weapon. Wish there was a way to do the quest again as a Summoner. I understand that they share classes and all that but still makes me sad =(

Wait, you can't do it as a SMN?

Why not? When you're SMN does he just not have the quest?

He does. I have my relic+1 on summoner and my relic on scholar. I also will have a relic on BLM so he must have missed the fact that he needs to be switched to the job he wants the relic for in order for the relic quest to be available from the NPC.

Oops! Yeah I was looking in Vesper Bay to start the quest as a Summoner, you just go straight to Gerolt to get it again.
