Connecting the DoTs: A Summoner Guide

Confused about what people are saying about Radiant Shield.
Is the redirected damage based on who is getting hit or is all damage redirected by ifrit?

Because from what I have seen it is all redirected by Ifrit and is entirely based on his buffs.

I actually assumed it was completely on the tank's potency but I've never tested it.

Tried it out. It is on whoever is getting hit and doesn't matter at all about Ifrit's buffs at the time (unless it is Ifrit getting hit)

Wow, it is even better than I thought it was in that case.

Oi, I didn't realize they were talking about AoE.

Sunakos video is on a single target experience. But the issue would extend itself into AoE environments should you choose to ever combine 3D and Contagion with the intent of using Bane.

The "bug" is not a bug, it happens with fester too if you use it with bio when nothing is up. Usually you have to wait a half a second for the buffs to apply and this happens if you queue bane after 3D, or contagion. I thought this was something people knew about summoner from ARR? If you use bane too soon after bio you'd lose bio... The same thing is happening here with contagion and TD >.>;

See this is why I didn't think it was a bug like I already said before (the reason I didn't report it). Timing wise, it's a lil tighter then what was happening with ARR, because with Bio in ARR, you shot that Fester before you even saw Bio confirmed on the target. This time around, you can actually see the DoTs present on the mob before these skills even go on CD.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0kNMmyMEZ8 : Look at 0:21 seconds on this. That Fester got full credit and was fired off immediately.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChpV...ature=youtu.be : Then Look at 0:06 seconds on this.

Slow both videos down to x.25 speed. You will clearly see the DoTs were all present before these skills even went on cd.

I just hate the inconsistency of it to an extent. After testing this out a bit what I can confirm, is that you basically don't want to mash Fester, or Bane but simply press the skill key to queue it and even though it executes fast it will work fine. What's weird is sometimes it confirms it and sometimes it doesn't and it's largely dependent on how fast the animation executes the next ability. If you have slight lag, you probably won't run into this issue ever. If you have super good net / fps though, probably will from time to time.

Does anyone have any tips for playing on a PS4 controller? I was fine in 2.x but now it feels a bit difficult to juggle all these skills and stuff.

set a crossbar for aoe, crossbar for single target the rest is just muscle memory. Keep practicing until you get used to it. like they said earlier here, controller summoner is the true endgame.

First thing if you don't have expanded hold controls on (holding R2>L2 and vice versa) do it now.

This is how my crossbar is at the moment: http://imgur.com/a/cc59F

The only macros I use aside from the obvious swiftcast ones are:

Enkindle
/ac "Rouse" <me>
/ac "Spur" <me>
/ac "Enkindle" <t>

Stun
/pac "Shockwave" <t>
/pac "Crimson Cyclone" <t>

De/Buff
/pac "Contagion" <t>
/pac "Radiant Shield" <t>

AOE
/pac "Aerial Slash" <t>
/pac "Flaming Crush" <t>

Dreadwyrm Trance
/ac "Dreadwyrm Trance"
/ac "Deathflare" <t>

I know people here don't like macros but atleast they work for me.
