Connecting the DoTs: A Summoner Guide

Well, Ifrit and Titan used to be affected by Skillspeed since their skills were classified as Weapon Skills but 3.0 changed those to Spells so now Spellspeed with affect them. Do note that the tooltips don't have the recasts updated but the cooldown timers (when you hover over the skill) do reflect it.

In order to receive the effects of the caster's spell speed attribute, all pet actions excluding auto-attacks have been changed to elemental damage.

This was all the notes ever said about Spell Speed and pets. Not sure how reliable this is as I never take patch notes as the gospel. But I don't believe I've seen any research on there interaction between SS and Pets since the expansion (cloud be wrong).

It's accurate except , auto-attacks were NOT excluded. They are also affected by Foe Requiem thus confirming they were also changed to element attacks.

Have only done two dummy parses but they were 1310 and 1320 using Garuda, no real Fester/Deathflare crit fest or anything. I'm decently geared though, for our time.

It will be clear once the formula is out. I still have my doubts so that's what im "don't evening" about <_<

[Minorinz]

Excuse my double post, but I need to know if anyone can get more than 1313 on garuda at i198 on a dummy ;-;

I've been trying to re-learn a new, better opener and improve my gameplay in general. I went from a static that had DRG/NIN/BRD, and was easily pulling top DPS, in the realms of what I thought were pretty solid numbers.

Then I transitioned to a new static that has DRG/MNK/MCH and my number have dropped noticeably. What are some ~i200 numbers that I can aim for in A1S-A3S to know that I'm at least 90% effective.

Depending on how many jumps you see on A1S, the numbers will vary. w/ 3 jumps I was pulling 1050 in i195 as SMN and about 1120 after we started skipping third jump. On A2S, w/ i200 and your statics strat(very Summoner friendly), 1.9k-2k should be your goal.

Haven't done A3S as Summoner but judging from some of the parses posted here, I would say 1020-1050 should be good since you don't have a bard~
