Connecting the DoTs: A Summoner Guide

[Dervy]

It looks like Crit is definitely not 100% more superior than Determination! They're both equally as good and a "Desired" set for an A4S Summoner "BIS" Example would look like this, where you're not stacking crit, unlike the Bard, Monk, Dragoon and chances are, the Ninja. http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/RH5F

Definitely not what I expected.

If the Summoners relationship between Critical Hit Rating, Enhanced Pet Proc chance, and the consequential DoT clipping, along with the buggyness of Pets were not investigated and looked into accordingly, we'd be looking into a set more like this: http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/RH5H

Not only that, Pets have a lower base Crit, 4.5%, compared to 5% for the Caster.

I'm definitely surprised by the results myself. Now I've got all this sorted, I need to fix minor bugs with my model and I should have weights soon!

The weights I'm currently looking at are:

INT: 1.000
DET: 0.143
CRT: 0.149
WD: 8.622
SS: 0.111

Item Budgets:

DET: 23*0.143 = 3.289
CRT: 24*0.149 = 3.576
SS: 24*0.111 = 2.664

I can finally have a little rest. Thanks for your work guys!

Note: Before people get carried away, these aren't official weights. These are rough estimates of what the final result will be once I've finished work on my model.
