New summoner is unacceptable

There is also the chance that since the job has fundamentally changed that your performance was affected by the newness of it. Goodness knows mine was. It is inevitable that you won't be the master of something straight away. In any case the chaos has been fun for me so far in the...instances I've been in on my main.

Don't project your experience onto others lol, you can master new SMN in like 5 minutes.

The only thing that might not come naturally is:

To only use Ifrit when you can stand still in melee range for ~5 seconds.
Summon Ifrit and Titan in the middle of a pack if you are in an AoE situation.
If not progressing, use Swiftcast for Ifrit (Ruby Rite or something).

For the second point, I drew a diagram:




You want Titan/Ifrit to move towards the target of the Summon attack in a way that, when they touch the enemy's max melee radius, they're in range of as many other mobs as possible.

You don't have to worry about Slipstream as much because the AoE's center is on the mob's center instead of the Egi.

People who played Summoner before and gave at least 2 sh*ts about the class should realize that when we summon, we use the same (but without dots and puddles) spells as when we hit Enkindle before. So Unless you just rolled the class for the sake of it, you should know this by default.

What the hell are you even arguing against lol?

Great diagram. That's why I'm having problems with titan's aoe missing so many mobs. I guess that's how it always worked. We just never used Titan in anything that mattered.
