Connecting the DoTs: A Summoner Guide

[Havenchild]

Ok I think I got all the changes in 3.0 finally. If anyone notices anything missing in particular, feel free to mention it and I could elaborate on that.
Outside of that, next thing I intend on working on will be Alexander (Savage) tips for all the turns and some rotation tests with full 210.

resubmitted, since it won't let us bump. I don't want it to get buried in other useless bug reports! SMN FIXES COME FIRST!

Dare I say, I wouldn't be surprised if it's brushed off by now. Also Spellspeed as a whole being almost nonexistent in its affect on DoT damage. Needing almost 90-95+ just to budge a DoT tick 1-2 points seems broken.

I will probably try and record an A1-4s PoV too as well as Thordan EX SMN PoV because I think SMN is arguably the best job for that fight.

Thanks for this Guide. It's been awhile since I played SMN and reading this guide, helped me to get back the SMN and play with it. But, I still have a doubt and it's 'how ranged SMN is'. Regarding this, I was talking to some mates and we were discussing if SMN is ranged or "semi-meelee", given the fact that Miasma 2 has a limited area to be cast. So, my question is: how far - or close - should we stay from mobs/boss?'.

Unless for some reason mechanics hinder you, you should always be in melee range. More autos, more damage.

I needed a help on SMN, it's more like a 'how to setup the cross-bar for PS4 controller'. Is there anyone here who plays on the Controller? Could you send photos/images of the cross-bar, please? I still haven't figured out a good 'positioning' for the Skills on the cross-bar.

I use a combination of both keyboard and controller but you mostly all my skills are on controller.



On another hotbar, I have the exact same setup except, I change Shadowflare with Ressurection and Obey with X-Potion of Intelligence.
Bane and Painflare are the only two skills I use with a keyboard input but those along side miasma II can easily be added to the other side of extended keys.

Extended Hotkeys -> Holding both L2 and R2 in any order.


I mostly focus both my Extended Keys into one set of 8 keys for simplicity but you have enough room for another setup of 8 additional keys for a total count of 16 additional hotkeys via extended setup.

i haven't really seen it mentioned in this thread yet but: how yall feel about using a contagioned miasma ii to weave stuff in dw trance instead of a ruin ii?

i never see it talked about, is it taboo or a given?

I do that, yep. DWT > Fester > Miasma 2 > Tri-D > Ruin 3 spam > Ruin 2 > Fester > Deathflare.
