Connecting the DoTs: A Summoner Guide

[OneWingedSora]

It's not really broken, also the vul buff isn't always applied on every target you dot 24/7. Smn's concept on aoe rotation is just very simple and doesn't require much brains to execute. I find single target dps a real pain because of all the aoe cds (+ the stacks) we get and right now blm seems to shine on single target more than smn so i find it even. A4 is gonna real fun..

Assuming A4S will require you to destroy both legs(which I am betting it will), Summoner will probably still outshine BLM there. Not to mention the adds will probably have more HP which will make multi-dotting them not a waste .

So far on A3S, I am still doing as much damage on my Summoner as I am on BLM, and Radiant Shield on the hand party cleaves is pretty good. I usually start with Garuda then SC Ifrit after phase change.

I would also like to side with Aikaal on this one. Doing 2.1k DPS w/o a Bard on A2S while the highest BLM parse I saw on A2S is 1.7k with a bard is a pretty big difference. The difference between casters AOE should never be this big especially considering how the difference between their ST damage is very small.

Hell, I have seen monks do 1.7k on A2S as well which is stupid. A melee should never be outdpsing a caster on a fight so focused on AOE.
