Connecting the DoTs: A Summoner Guide

Increase of Damage.

As I mentioned, get a linear regression of X Skillspeed with the same WD, DET, INT, CRT, on the impact of damage. You can get random ass Accuracy/SS DEX/STR accessories to try it out and absolutely max out your right-side.

Or just get the data and I'll do it. The only issue is that Skillspeed buff that you get. Is there any way to mitigate this?

It's really tricky, since your only source for that combination of stats, is through using healing accessories or swapping around casting gear to get a combination of DET, INT, CRT etc while raising or lowering your spell speed. (Spell Speed ><)

It is affected by Spell Speed, it's just not a big change. Looking at the time it takes for damage to appear, each Burning Strike hit 3.26s apart at 354 and 3.10s at 679. Looking at the difference in the CD timer countdown, 679 speed was also 0.16s faster than 354. Testing over an extended period of time is difficult due to the speed buff from pet crits.

Was hoping you would chime in here, since you were using the recording software to measure the difference in frame animation.

I didn't account for Enhanced Pet procing, but I thought I would see a more significant gain than what I did in my quick testing just measuring # of attacks over time. Relying on just recorded attacks, I didn't measure any difference between Base SPD and 721 SPD

--------------------

Edited: Did a few more tests, Low Crit with Garuda to try and limit any procs, 10 Trials of 5 mins each.
354 SPD - 100 Hits
731 SPD - 102 Hits

Possibly a ~0.06 increase on cast time. (2% Damage Increase)

Compared to the increase that the SMN should see (+377 SPD = GCD 2.35 or 6% increase in casting speed)

So maybe the pet only sees 1/3 of the gains that the SMN does in regards to SPD.

Still not sure though, because I had 1 run @ 731 SPD of only 100 hits and 1 run @ 354 of 99 Hits. User error could have been an issue, so looking forward to what Chary finds.
