Summoner is so confusing for this returning player

[JacobNewblood]

So Here is what you do:

1. before a fight, Precast Ruin III/Tri-disaster (for AOE) to get into combat (If you are lvl 70 or above you can skip to next step though its not necessary)
2. Hit Dreadwyrm Trance/Firebird Trance
3. Spam Astral Impulse, (Purple Bahamut button for Single target, Green Bahamut button for AOE) and use your oGCDs (Energy Drain, Festers, Ahkmorn and Deathflare) /// Same transfers to Phoenix, Dark red for Single target, Orange for AOE
4. Once you end trance, use a egi summon (Topaz/Titan, Emerald/Garuda, Ruby/Ifirt)
5. Use your recolored Ruin III/Tri-disatser spells, called Gemshine/Precious Brilliance Till you run out of charges for the egi (4 charges for Titan and Garuda, 2 for Ifrit)
5a. The charges and current egi can be seen on your Job gauge, hence the crystals
6. Repeat step 5 untill you used each egi once. Use your Ruin IV from energy drain when you best see fit but not during a egi window, Cast Ruin III untill Trance is off CD
7. Start at step 2

Basicly you summon Demi, then 3 egis, them Demi again. filling any empty space with Ruin III & IV, Use energy drain off CD, and if possible save festers for your Searing light windows which should line up with bahamut pendin on SPS.

Note, Carby is just a cheerleader now who gives a shield, for now.

Thank you so much! I will write this down, and give this a try. I really appreciate you putting into steps, and making it simple enough to understand.

Eventually (Lv86) you'll gain Favors for each elemental summon and will need to add those new actions to your rotation: a two GCD instant gap closer and follow up for Ifrit, a GCD AoE puddle for Garuda, and four woven oGCD attacks for Titan. At that point, your filler Ruin IIIs will drop from 4/min down to just 1/min.

Use your Ruin IV from energy drain when you best see fit but not during a egi window, Cast Ruin III untill Trance is off CD

Ruin IV during a Demi summon is a loss, but it's okay to use Ruin IV for movement during an elemental summon (most likely Ifrit, since Garuda and Titan both use instant Gemshine/Brilliance anyway).
