SMN in T8

[abzoluut]

Any t8 SMN on his server? You guys should go do T8 (dont clear it, let's say to about 25-30%). Would love to see the results of a garu-SMN vs an Ifri-SMN..

Do it! :-)

For reference I can sustain ~415 dps on T8, where I use Ifrit the entire fight after I Contagion my opener. No poison pots. (i110 book)

This is just BS. If you're gona exaggerate your DPS you should at least put it in believable range. No summoner I have ever seen can pull 410+ on T8 as encounter DPS. In fact with full i110, which I am just short 1 ring, the most I can do is 395, only foe in the beginning. If you are really just i103, I would be impressed if you pull over 370 on encounter regardless what pet you are using. Show us a parse.

I was the second SMN on my server to clear T9, and neither me nor the other guy can hit 400, so please enlighten us.

And do you have a parse?

A what? We don't post such things on these forums. I think you know that.

Our SMN can do it. I don't know anything about SMN, but I do know he uses Garuda. Here is his parse.

Thats our parse from 2 weeks ago.
As you can see a few people here confirm that summoner do exceed 400 DPS, that was with Ifrit and ilvl 110 weapon.

Your parse shows EncDPS > DPS. Maybe I'm misunderstanding but I thought that's an impossible situation to get since EncDPS takes into account downtime unlike DPS?

Still, nice numbers regardless!

I have no idea how that happened either, I didn't parse it and someone of my group uploaded it because another group asked for our numbers.
I thought it's kinda odd too. xD

Taking account of parser discrepancy and RNG you SMN does about the same as me around 395. CKD's SMN likely get multiple foes/mana due to 2 Bards, in addition to i115 book.

I not sure how many foe/mana you guys get, but I usually only get 1 Foe in the beginning and no mana unless our healer is fking up, so maybe that is why. Without bard help I dont think its possible to go 400+ especially with ifrit.
