The trade offs of the new SMN

[Blueyes]

Could anyone tell me what the changes to Contagion are? I haven't found pet action tooltips anywhere D:

I would like to see tooltip information as well, but from what I've heard, Garuda-egi now has the means to apply magic vulnerability to a single target. Supposedly 5%-10% vulnerability for 15 seconds with a 90 second recast. By contrast, Ifrit-egi will apply physical vulnerability.

"Devotion, the pet ability, increases the potency of all attack and healing magic for all party members within a 30-yalm radius by 5%. It also reduces the damage taken by those affected by 5%. "

I believe that's a separate ability, executed by the egi through the use of Aetherpact. The paragraph that talks about Devotion also mentions, "the most impactful change for pets is the removal of Contagion. Garuda now has the ability, (Needs tooltip) which buffs the Summoner’s damage on the target by 5% for 15 seconds."

Yes... basically what these changes mean...

Is that you will be doing crap damage... or nerfed damage while saving your DWT bonus damage for that single moment you CAN do it...

Rather than... how we do it now, from any time or any position, un-nerfed...

And.... it hasn't occurred to you your mean DPS will drop like a stone?

Okay bro, whatever you say!

It's kinda weird but as per the skill description of Aetherpact it seems that as soon as Aetherpact is executed the Egi will cast devotion on the party. 1 follows 2 instantly, as far as I can tell.

While I'm unbiased towards the SMN mechanics (I'm in the wait and see camp), I'd rather this not turn into a FFLogs argument. People can have an opinion (and can raid) without FFLogs, don't invalidate someones opinion based on what you looked up on there.

may be right if said person would have had raid experience... and no i dont meant Ark Series ^^'
But someone who said that piety is raid meta (with carried clears) to have more mp for ruin 3 spam proofs lacks in those needed experience.

I am referring specifically to savage raids/ex primals. The buffs and additions to SMN will be very welcome there.

+1 very welcome <3

all the chaining and procs seem interessting for burst dmg - looking forward them pretty much :3

I'm just gonna say I feel sorry for the people that carried you.

Honestly?... I just love u for this comment <3

Now... back to reality.....

Wanna talk bout reality? Here we go: im totally glad that people got that you are just a clueless wannabe smn without any idea what you are talking about: neither savage raids nor theorycrafting- real enough for u?
