SMNs, Contagion, and You

[Ecks007]

I have still been having an issue with Contagion not always working after I've clicked on it.

Quite frankly I find that I have to click on it sometime halfway after the cooldown of Wind Blade rather than being able to click it right after a Wind Blade and basically put it in que as the next attack I want her to preform. Using it too soon just doesn't work, I don't know why, it just doesn't. What ends up happening is that Garuda will just continue to use Wind Blade over and over like she always does (on Obey) and then I have to click on Contagion again. Usually I have to spam the button 3-4 times right before Wind Blade's cooldown is up just to make sure Contagion goes off when I want it to.

This can be extremely frustrating. Pre 2.3 I never had this issue.

Though, I can say that I have never had a problem with Enkindle.

I see. I still do not entirely believe that the Enkindle issue has been resolved however. I still frequently experience a significant delay in the cast for it from my pet. It often takes Garuda 5 seconds or more to cast it and if I use any action while it is going off, it just doesn't go off at all. I shouldn't be expected to wait and waste precious GCDs...

I also still have issues with Contagion and I always have, to be honest. It seemed to me that, even though the action was registered in the queue, it was not ever first in queue or the action with highest priority in Garuda-Egi's queue, so she would always cast Wind Blade instead. Only way to resolve it was to spam it a million times.

PS. I am kidding, but I curious if it does help.

Why can't they just simply make pet skills interrupt whatever the pet is currently doing, and use the skill immediately?

As of last night (~11:00 EDT), Enkindle and Contagion still requires multiple inputs to register on my end.

When they fix something, they break something else. It always happens and I always expect it to. I wonder when it will be working like it's supposed to... Hmmm...

[RinchanNau]

I notice that sometimes my pet will not switch to my current target after the target they are attacking dies unless I specifically press obey/sic again on my current target. Is this the way it is supposed to be? I only switched to SMN rather recently, and I see this sometimes happening and sometimes not.

Egis shouldn't , should auto attack when aggroed on normal. Choco companions don't though I think.

Your answer isn't clear to me. Please explain.

Here is a specific example I can recall. Ramuh ex. After the add phase my pet often (but not always) WILL NOT start attacking Ramuh again after the adds are dead unless I manually command it to. It'll just sit there as if I had put it on steady.

Not a huge deal... Just seems odd to me.
