I foresee summoners getting kicked out of static groups.

Sorry for the late reply, had to log on to the game to explain it better.

Press Esc to go to System Menu > Support Desk > click "Search Database" (you can leave the field empty) > click "Support Team"

From there I set Question 1 as "In-Game" and Question 2 as "Game Master Services"

Title: Item Restoration: Fantasia

In the body I basically said that I made a mistake with my original Phial and I would please like to use my one time item restoration service to have my Phial of Fantasia restored.

So I pretty much said that I used my phial 2 1/2 months ago, that I was unaware of the 10 day restoration restriction, and that I was unhappy with my choice of race/consumption of the item. I also stated, and this is VERY important, that I wanted to use my 1 time item restoration policy feature for this request. I feel like THIS is what nailed me my success. I also stressed how I understand this restoration can only be used ONCE per account.

How I contacted them was:

1) Log into the game.
2) Press 'Escape' then press 'Support Desk'.
3) At the bottom, right-hand corner of that 'Support Desk' window, click on 'Search Database'.
4) Look for "How to contact a Game Master" and click on that.
5) At the bottom, right-hand corner of that window, click on "Ask Question"
6) Title your request as: "1 time Phial of Fantasia Restoration" or something.
7) Proceed to type in whatever you'd like regarding your inquiry.

Hope that helps you guys !! <3

Finally after 2 weeks and 2 tickets later, I got my Fantasia back! Just keep pestering them guys, but in a nice polite way! It feels so nice to be Hyur again.

I followed all of that and got my Fantasia back through the GM services. Hope this helps you out.

On topic just to be safe: Still don't think people will kick SMN's out of statics....

[Aeliott]

The static I'm in has (well, had?) 2 SMNs, and everything just melts before them...

If anything I think most people would prefer MNK/DRG, BRD, SMN, BLM as their dps setup.

[Raiker]

Did you guys try virus pretending it had 60sec cd?

It's actually 90 second cool down. The mob will be immune from virus for 60 seconds after it expires. Pretty much made the ability as SMN only one, at least with any real applicability.

Oh, and this:

In 2.1 the loss of Thunder is replaced with the addition of Blizzard II for SMN. SMN was already the king of non-SR (speed run) AOE, now it's going to help close the gap on SR AOE when compared to other jobs. Before you had to cast Thunder individually on every target to maximize AOE DPS on 2-4 targets (which took up the entire time between your rotation). Now Thunder mutlicast is replaced with Blizzard II and it works very similarly to casting Ruin/Ruin II between DOTs in your rotation. You never really had enough time to cast Thunder on all 4 mobs between rotations.

Bio: Potency 40/tick Duration 18s (6 ticks) Total Potency = 240 (2-4)
Miasma: Potency 20 + Potency 35/tick Duration 24s (8 ticks) Total Potency = 300 (2-4)
Bio II: Potency 35/tick Duration 30s (10 ticks) Total Potency = 350 (2-4)
Shadow Flare: Potency 25/tick Duration 30s (10 ticks) Total Potency = 250 (ALL)
Miasma II: Potency 20 + Potency 10/tick 15s (5 ticks) Total potency = 70 (ALL)

Bane: Potency 0

Blizzard II x3: Potency 50 (ALL) Total Potency = 150 (ALL)
OR 450 POT on 3 mobs
v
Thunder x3: Potency 30 + Potency 35/tick Duration 18s = Total Potency 240 (2-3)
OR 720 POT on 3 mobs

Total Potency on 3 mobs:
Blizzard II Rotation = 4,080
Thunder Roation = 4,350

Too hard to calculate Pet DMG here but it will lessen the DPS the gap between these
two rotations, but as is, that is:

4,080/4,350 = 93.8% OR a loss in 6.2% TOTAL DMG on 3 targets w/o pet

However on 5+ targets Blizzard II does actually increase your TOTAL DMG exponentially per target increase and also Blizzard II will increase AOE burst DPS for both 2-4 and 5+ targets. Sometimes mobs die before DOTs expire, which is particularly bad for SMN trying to level up or earn Gold in FATEs.

lol, did I just read king of non-speed run aoe? XD I'm amazed people are even looking at blizzard 2...

[AdvancedWind]

Considering everyone (even BLMs, lol) is claiming their class is being nerfed to the point of uselessness (or not buffed enough and is still useless) and nobody will ever bring them, I wonder who everybody will bring to dungeons and raids? 4 WARs for WP? 8 WARs for Coil?

Eight scholars, given the lustrate buff / holy and medica II nerf that apparently killed white mages based on some threads.

[Draconix]

On a plus side we lose thunder but pick up blizzard so for wp speed runs we can put up our dots hit bane and then just spam the hell out of blizzard rinse repeat

Just curious where you are getting that they get Blizzard? As far as I know the only cross class skills for SMN are: Raging Strikes, Thunder (No More), Surecast, Swiftcast, Hawk's Eye, and Quelling Strikes.

The 2.1 patch notes have nothing on Summoner other than them removing Thunder and PVP. So color me confused where Blizzard comes in?

99% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

...Including that one.

It's 99% now? I thought it was 70%
