Thread: SMN - 2.1 Live

Pets are fun for messing around on fights like titan hm with titan egi tank but outside of that they are boring.

3 thunder per min
Ingame unbuffed pre patch
104!+(93+92+135+90+137+90)= 831
75+(90+93+92+127+135+90)= 702 = 2304 total damage for 3 casts
101!+(135+92+89+90+128+136)= 771
Ruin 203-210 299!-314!X3 =609-630 897-942! =1674-1695 loss no crit = 1362-1407 loss (if all crit)

Before Garuda 3sec GCD= 20 cast per minute
"Ingame NO spur/rouse" 202-218 304!-318!
Live
Garuda .95 cast 2.85@ 466 ss = 1 extra cast per min 202-318 damage gain without any EPAss procs
.91 cast 2.75 --EPAss proc @466ss =+1.8 epm = 363-572 gain(1021-1112 total loss per min)17-18dps loss
.88 cast 2.65 --FG+EPAss proc @466ss =+2.6 epm = 525-826.8 gain(]858-859 total loss per min)14dps loss

Acceptable yet boring nerf
for fun & Curious
@536ss
cast .92 & recast 2.77
EPAss proc .88 & 2.65rc
Fey glow+EPAss .81cast & 2.43rc

That is a buttload of spellspeed that I don't see any of us getting while also hitting accuracy cap without denying crit.

Also my muscle memory is too strong and the thunders still aren't coming.

I feels weird with the loss of thunder. I didn't really feel it till I got to Turn 4. It was weird trying to use blizzard and realize it does nothing but look cool. Heh, pun.

I agree, just something to toy with.

I was going to add the recast of her Aerial Slash but ran out of room in the post.
@466ss Currentgear ; ; waiting on hotfix for boots

Aerial Slash2.85 cast & 28.59 recast

EPAss proc reduces her recast of aerial Slash to 27.51
FG+EPAss reduced to 26 seconds at 466ss

I don't get the point in why SE allows other jobs besides blm the usage of blizzard 2... and even more confused when I think about how they cast blizzard 2 but forbid them to use blizzard 1

Missing thunder here as well and still pushing the button where it was...
I don't feel the class is broken, but more boring to play. Blizzard II it's not a good skill replacement for me. Give us another cross-class dot. Aero was not a bad idea. Not that good as thunder but still something else to manage.

I had some issues with Garuda aggroing pulls in Haukke Manor hard, and it was set to obey.

Still out DPSing everyone else hands down even without thunder. Only class that seems to get close are monks. Loss of thunder is..eh. but nothing we can do about it now. With blizzard 2 I use miasma 2 much more in AoE pulls and spamming blizzard after spreading dots means i am pulling aoe threat a lot faster in pug roullete groups. look ma' watch me tank!

class got a little less interesting but we are still the kings of DPS.

I have had zero aggro issues with my pets but I have noticed that even on obey, Garuda goes all derp-da-derp on me and still casts contagion. Only happened a few times though over the course of a few hours.

Sorry but I'm failing to see how losing thunder has dumbed the job down lol cuz I can assure you, it wasn't harder pushing 1 extra button every 18 seconds or so. It's just different is all.

Did Garuda start gliding across the room randomly? We had that happen with Garuda, Selene AND Eos (SMN + 2 SCH, though Selene was resummoned in time and didn't aggro Caduceus) Really wishing I was recording; it was hilarious.
