Best in Slot for SMN after 2.1?

[xxalucard]

With his new best in slot you lose MAYBE 6% crit. Seems like a lot right but like i said its just a chance. So you lose a 1% chance to proc that trait that you live and die by. (0.06x0.2=0.012). So you wouldn't trade that chance for increased damage on ALL of your abilities ALL the time. I might add that spell speed is our worst stat by far because it doesn't affect 4 of our damaging abilities

I don't live and die by that trait alone, it's just one example of crit being better.

Another example:

DET weight on auto attacks: 0
Crit weight on auto attacks: more than 0

And you're wrong, spell speed affects everything. Even if your dots are ticking it affects the recast on ruin/ruin II, as well as Garuda's own attacks (he benefits from his own spell speed proc). Even one extra ruin every few minutes (and that probably means one extra wind blade) would be more DPS.

Spell speed as a stat does suck, because it takes so much of it to barely get a tenth of a percent. As a 20% proc, though, it's actually a significant difference. And that trait can proc multiple times in a row; there is no internal cooldown on it.

You might as well tell bards not to add crit because "it's just a chance." Of course it's just a chance, but when things proc from it then that chance becomes real damage.

If we had no procs from crit at all, and DET affected our auto attacks, then I might be able to give it a chance. But imaginary weights that aren't class specific do not mean anything for summoner, or take into account the pet & burst situations, where crit festers / crit roused + spurred pet attacks deal huge chunks of damage.

Not this shit again. Can we just ignore him this time please?

Also all hail Torin, savior of pantless summoners all over the world.

Why do you write comments like this? Almost as pointless as your ifrit parse.
