Connecting the DoTs: A Summoner Guide

[ilmynasa]

I don't think I've missed anything in A3S yet with 564 acc (except 2 book smacks in the hand form, which requires frontal acc), so I ASSUME the acc cap is only around 580 for caster for A4.

And I read someone from either the 2ch or reddit, that the ss increase in DOT is not very exciting, so my personal preference is still at crit>det>ss

Possible BiS. Very similar to Sunako's but lower accuracy since 600+ is too much probably.

On a side note, killing A1S right after the third jump is so sad. Everyone's DPS basically took a huge dip(everyone ended at around -100 than what it should've been) but we killed it in 7:50 which still wasn't bad and probably better than wasting an hour+ wiping because everyone was too greedy with dps(myself included) and wanted to kill it before the jump ;-;

The increase in DoT damage from Spell Speed is actually pretty small. Even if Determination's increase were just as small, at least it would be applied to all damage rather than just DoTs.

That...isn't how spell speed works...

Spell speed now affects dots to BUFF them to the point where it is as good for dots as it is for casted abilities...

Its not "spell speed doesn't affect other casts" its "spell speed now makes dots as good as other casts".

1 WD = 8 INT. So upgrading from Hive to ESO will give you 16 INT + 9 = 25.

I think upgrading the 180 chest to the ESO one + 210 ring(if you have access to A2S) will give you more int. Not to mention giving you much better secondary stats.

22+11 = 33.

I already did the math, the secondary stats scale higher with more int so ima wait until next week to see if i get any caster loot from A1 or A2. I got nothing in the first 4 clears. I actually think body piece + accessory upgraded is better than the weapon. My groups thinks the weapon is the safest bet.

A1S

I think I did ok, but I can go higher I think, lost a deathflare towards the end. ilvl184.

I'm at 186 and I'm pushing to 1300k+ dps. Are you using trance followed by tri disaster + miasma 2 ? That's where the big dpsing comes from mainly!

Link to parse, please. I am guessing you are probably talking about regular A1 or Faust.

Anyways, here's my parse: no nin/brd and killed right after third jump :<

Sorry I'm on Ps4 my friends usually do the parsing for the group. And it's savage boss on Faust is the same. Just wondering where your dps is.

Sorry I have a hard time believing that ;-; unless maybe it's a merged parse ? Which doesn't count for the downtime so it would be more believable.

My DPS on Faust is 1.65-1.8k but it's mostly padding due to shadowflares/deathflares hitting the adds.
