Connecting the DoTs: A Summoner Guide

I wouldn't recommend a swiftcast +shadowflare macro because weaving swiftcast under a gcd chained by shadowflare is better. Can't think of any macros to help you out, sorry :c

Hey guys, do you have any proposed BiS setups? There's a BLM in my group so I don't want to prive him over just temporal upgrades for me.

So far this is my thoughts for BiS, assuming the current estimates for acc are right:

Not really sure what accuracy cap is for A4 but i think i m gonna use this kind of set. Avoid spell speed as much possible.

How so? spell speed damage increase seems significant. I'm prioritizing Crit > Spell speed > Det for that reason.

Unless there's something I'm missing.

it's crit>>det>ss

ss isn't that bad but a chunk of det is always nice. I don't think A4S will exceed 600 accuracy on casters.

I don't think I've missed anything in A3S yet with 564 acc (except 2 book smacks in the hand form, which requires frontal acc), so I ASSUME the acc cap is only around 580 for caster for A4.

And I read someone from either the 2ch or reddit, that the ss increase in DOT is not very exciting, so my personal preference is still at crit>det>ss

Possible BiS. Very similar to Sunako's but lower accuracy since 600+ is too much probably.

On a side note, killing A1S right after the third jump is so sad. Everyone's DPS basically took a huge dip(everyone ended at around -100 than what it should've been) but we killed it in 7:50 which still wasn't bad and probably better than wasting an hour+ wiping because everyone was too greedy with dps(myself included) and wanted to kill it before the jump ;-;

guys whats 1 WD worth for our main stat?

1 WD = 8 INT. So upgrading from Hive to ESO will give you 16 INT + 9 = 25.

I think upgrading the 180 chest to the ESO one + 210 ring(if you have access to A2S) will give you more int. Not to mention giving you much better secondary stats.

22+11 = 33.

I already did the math, the secondary stats scale higher with more int so ima wait until next week to see if i get any caster loot from A1 or A2. I got nothing in the first 4 clears. I actually think body piece + accessory upgraded is better than the weapon. My groups thinks the weapon is the safest bet.
