Contagion Alignment Feedback

Greetings,

Contagion does not align with dot refreshes in most cases. Unless you have a global cooldown of 2.46 or higher. I feel a slight addition of 5 seconds would better fix this. Since dot refreshes are only 1 or 2 GCDs ahead.

Right now contagion feels upsetting to use when you are perfectly executing the rotation and it just does not align. It is also important to note why only 5 seconds is being suggested. If the CD for contagion were any further then it would delay current Summon Bahamut Alignment.

Please look into this.

Thank You!

I think they should make contagion Last 30 sec and reduce buff for the 5%, so delay would not be so essential.

As a blm that owns a pet summoner in static, I support making contagion better in any form :^)

An addition of 5 seconds to the cooldown, a nerf that you could as easily hold for to accomplish on your own, a 5-second decrease to cooldown, or 5 seconds to duration for a whopping 33% increase to whatever amounts to a caster better-than-Trick-Attack on one of the strongest total (personal + indirect) DPS jobs in the game?

I think Contagion needs to be far more reactive, or even not perfectly so (i.e. not even animation delay), but it certainly does not need a even more uptime. At present the only reasons it's not meta-reforming in its own right are Embolden's weird meleephilia and Ranged jobs' abusive marriage to DRG.

I just wish contagion would respond quickly, it’s nothing worse then doing your rotation and waiting to burst for this to apply to an enemy.....I would rather use Garuda but to avoid delay after delay I just don’t.

Contagion should be applied by the Smn and not by the pet, that way it would lag less and need less cumbersome pet micro management... (ps4 players are doomed with pet managemen)

just make Contagion a move that Smn can only use, if they have Garuda out as pet ..

it's nice to use Contagion as a buff, but having it tied to the pets commands is BS and will hopefully change in 5.0

This or they could just have the pets respond like the fairies do for SCH now. I understand she is a caster but cast times and delay equal a very bad day.
