Smn Rework Suggestions After LL

[Dyvid]

This is correct. Once you use DWT/Demi Bahamut, you are not obligated to use any of the Semi Demis/ Egi Jewels. Demi Pheonix/FBT is on a cool down. However, not using them is a notable DPS loss (probably) and by Roda's assessment since the Semi Demi's have limited charges, ideally you'll want to cycle through all of them before Phoenix is up. Which is what I think Roda was getting at.

Seems odd though considering a few factors. Let's assume Ifrit is the strongest Stance. Bahamut (15s) > Fire Stance (30s) > ???? Now the question is which carries more DPS; Phoenix vs either Wind or Earth Stance. If Phoenix is better, then your non movement rotation would be Bahamut > Fire Stance > Phoenix > Fire Stance > Bahamut. Now if Wind and Earth stance are stronger than Demi, then yes you would want to use all three before moving on... maybe. If Fire stance is the strongest wouldn't you want to try and have it ready at all times which would mean you want to recharge it every 45s; Demi.

Yeah, thats the point of failure outside of regular dropped gcds, and cooldown drift. They flat out stated in the LL that if you don't use all your summons and their gem spells / extra action in between your trances, then you will "not be doing very much damage"

True but we know that players can find ways to maximize things the devs never imagined.

It would have been nice if they would have had the media tour last week so help cut down on a lot of speculation.
