Summoner Info and Tips!

[T0rin]

Not true. Once you manually use an ability (like contagion) it will revert to Sic and use other cd's. If you don't believe me go to the 3:34 point in this video:

At 3:34 if you watch Garuda in the party list on the left you will see him start using Aerial Slash despite me never having clicked anything other than Obey or Contagion (I had forgotten to spam obey again after the last contagion). Proof that you and everyone else spreading this kind of false info is wrong.

I really hate how people keep saying false info like this, especially when one of them makes a thread on summoner tips & tricks and is wrong about a key thing.

2:28 - scene cut to Caduceus fight
2:57 - Garuda told to Contagion
2:59 - first Wind Slash cast by Garuda
3:03 - first Aerial Slash cast by Garuda
.....
3:34 - second Aerial Slash cast by Garuda
etc.

So, in this video, we see a scene cut to the Caduceus fight. We don't see Obey issued a single time prior to the fight, nor do we see Garuda being summoned.

We do know, based on the fact that Garuda begins to attack only after Contagion is issued, that she was in Standby mode. This is why Garuda did not attack at all for the first 30 seconds of the fight. We do not know whether Garuda was in Sic or Obey mode, we have only to take your word on it. But, everyone can hopefully testify that asking Garuda to Contagion will not force her into Sic mode, if she had previously been in Obey mode.

So, there is no evidence in this video to show that Obey had been called prior to the Contagion, and the fact that Garuda is behaving in Sic mode after the Contagion, we have to assume that Garuda was in Standby/Sic mode before the Contagion. That is the only explanation.

So, you just forgot to issue Obey after you re-summoned Garuda before the cut to Caduceus at 2:27, and when you told Garuda to Contagion at 2:57, she entered Guard/Sic mode, and proceeded to cast Aerial Slash, etc.

yeah most probably this, resummoned and never re-casted obey.

I say most probably because the garuda egi died during ADS.
