Summoner: A Guide

[Aetherdancer]

I have Garuda's casting ring, and a fair amount of i90. I think my SMN DET is sitting at over 290, so I'll do some testing myself. and report it to you. First, I need to know how much INT you have, Allagan book or not, etc. I don't think you'd have the Allagan book, since your DET is so low. I'm only i87 SMN, so I may not be able to help that much.

EDIT: With 487 INT, and 294 DET, my Garuda Egi had a minimum of 204 and a max of 226 on her Wind Blade. I assume this is vastly under your INT though, and INT means a whole lot more than DET, I think. I don't have any i90 switch options, so I cannot change my DET without changing my INT.

Yeah, that's the unfortunate part about trying to test this stuff. You need consistent iLVL so that other variables such as WD and INT don't change, since I'm fairly certain they affect your damage so much. i70 crafted gear with materia is a good option for testing, but the problem is having the INT values of i90 gear might affect how effective DET is for increasing damage.

My testing was done in full i90 for both tests, which means 496 INT. I also do not have the Allagan Book yet, so I was using the Veil of Wiyu Zenith and Omnitome for testing (both i90 weapons with 69 WD).
