Connecting the DoTs: A Summoner Guide

[Dervy]

Big thanks to Scylla Messina. I now have a roughly working damage formula for you Summoners:

=ROUNDDOWN(((POTENCY/100)*(MD*0.0394452+1)*(INT*0.1218814)*(DET*0.0001295+1)*BUFFS)-3)

Only works for spells, sorry book-whackers. No info on Pets either.

Getting closer to finishing off my Summoner Rotation model as well. Summoner is so haaaarrdddd

Scylla Messina (reddit username) here! Just happy to help for all the summoners. Don't post much on the official forums but I lurk! Excited to see the numbers when it's all said and done. Been curious about how spell speed affects our pets but it seems that spell speed will end up being really low for us even WITH it affecting them on top of dots.

Creepin' and lurkin'. The Dummies are my home bois.

A4S ACC cap is probably 540. Haven't missed all night, have missed at 537. I'll update if I miss, otherwise it's 540ish.

Wow that is low.

So only like 5% difference between A1S->A4S

My estimate of 9% was way too high then.

Good to know cause that opens up some great gear options.

Hold your horses before you jump into any gear buying fits though.

In A4S the legs don't have a front nor flank, normal accuracy rules don't apply here.
(I havent missed at all with 490 accuracy as BLM. => The legs have no/marginal accuracy requirements.)

Unless you're on final phase you won't really know the requirements.

I've missed with 537 (usually every run I tried 537 I'd miss once or twice), on the legs, so you've just either had very little time as 490 ACC testing or you're quite lucky. 540 hasn't ever missed over hours.

We need a smn dps leaderboard or something

Comps are way too varied for this to even matter. Doubly so if AST gets mega buffed in 3.06 or 3.1.

DPS leaderboards in general are pretty dumb, and I say this as someone who tries my best to do the most DPS I can.

They are rather pointless. Even with the same composition, numbers could be wildly different because of the performance/gear of the other members, strategies utilized, and so forth. That said, it is a bit fun to compete, even if it's ultimately proving nothing.

Personally, having a leaderboard for Final Coil helped me "stay in shape" once everything was on farm; it's easy to get sloppy when your playtime changes from several hours several nights a week to an hour once a week.

Yea the ones that increase dps by 0.5%!
