Summoner Info and Tips!

Don't get the point of so many Banes.

The first bane is only if garuda actually decided to obey you and contagion right away.

If she didn't contagion yet, you then go into miasma II then bane if (hopefully) she's contagioned already.

If she still hasn't contagion, curse her out for a bit and spam contagion button until she finally does it, then bane.

Besides, the rotation above couldn't work if you bane'd more than once, as bane has a 10 second cd.

Yeah, never had an issue with her not using it in a few seconds after clicking Contagion. Still find it a waste given that scenario. I'd rather take the time to quickly recast everything then waste that fester. Just not one to gamble on a 15% chance.

I don't think you understand what I wrote.

You only bane once, you CAN only bane once, there is literally no way to "waste" a bane unless you're somehow spamming it 10 seconds after your first bane.

I merely provide 2 spots in the rotation where it would make sense to bane, depending on when garuda decides to contagion.

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.

Maybe this is a ps3 glitch as I have never had this issue.

I don't think he had his pet on obey, it was on "steady" prior to pressing contagion (if you watch the video, the pet never attacked a single time at the start of the fight)

I watched the video closely and not once the "obey" was pressed (correct me if I'm wrong here, and point it out if in the video if it was pressed)

edit: look, he finally pressed obey at 5:21, and not once the pet was randomly casting it's spells again.

Yea, he's wrong. I have NEVER had that issue...ever

Also, let's not confuse Guard/Standby with Sic/Obey. Just because a pet is on Guard, does not mean they are on Sic.

Can be...

Guard/Sic = Will attack a target you attack or a target that attacks you, and will use all abilities
Guard/Obey = Will attack a target you attack or a target that attacks you, but will only use the basic attack
Standby/Sic = Will not attack a target you attack and will not attack a target that attacks you
Standby/Obey = Will not attack a target you attack and will not attack a target that attacks you

So even while in the video the pet is on Guard, it does not necessarily imply them being on Sic or Obey. In fact, there is no visual indication anywhere which mode they are in, except whether or not they use non-default abilities (Aerial Slash, Contagion) on their own.

If a pet ever uses Aerial Slash on their own, they had not previously been given the Obey order, or at least not since last summoned / instance started / were put on Sic.
