Connecting the DoTs: A Summoner Guide

[Vallhallix]

Deathflare is the last to unlock! Thank you square for making this class fun again. I'm loving it more than Ninja right now. The ruin 3 crits under trance are insane!

Dear fellow SMNs)) What pet do u usually use now? It seems that Ifrit is still №1 in dps as in still has more ponetcy on skills and its auto...Garuda is nice to extend buffed DOTs, but is she worth it?

Garuda is nice for her superior enkindle burst but it's not really needed. Plus you lose out on dps by having her on obey. If you put her on sic she just spends time wasting contagion instead of doing damage. I use Ifrit always on trash mobs for the AoE and radiant shield. It's sooooooo good. Garuda on bosses just because contagion is excellent for extending dots and multitasking with mechanics. Plus you can run around the room dotting up all adds (when they're reallly spaced out) while Garuda enkindles one under rouse and spur. If time is precious of course otherwise I save her enkindle for the boss.
