(Un)Official Arcanist/Summmoner Feedback Thread

I agree, pets need to be different. I feel like a size increase and some more detail to the models. They look sooo....just bland. Garuda for example is just green...there is like no texture or depth to the model. Titan looks like a floating chicken nugget, and Ifrit looks like he was in a serious accident and should be hooked up to an IV.

Skills need to be revamped I think as well. More pet focused, and faster pet response times. My opinion.

elitist is an overused program word used by the government.

Just going to plug this friendly reminder here again.

Please keep discussion civil, and be respectful to your fellow posters.
This thread is for feedback. There are no trolls, white knights, black knights, derps, etc. here. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. It's okay to disagree, but please no attacking or provocative language.

With that said, I had another thought about something to give the Egi more utility, thereby giving players incentive to use just more than Garuda-Egi for its contagion.

Now this would be something exclusive to Titan-Egi to help distinguish itself from Topaz Carbuncle, but does anyone else think it would be interesting to see it have a skill of some sort that inflicts slow or heavy on enemies?

Branching out a bit, I think each Egi having a certain "something" (e.g. Garuda and contagion) would give Summoner a reason to do more than set their summon to auto-attack depending on the situation.

Edit:

Pandabearcat, I think you may have posted in the wrong thread.

Why would you use miasma II single target?

Its dot is 10 potency for 15 seconds, making it both our shortest and by far our weakest DoT.

The total potency for Miasma II is 70, less even than Ruin. Not to mention its prohibitive mana cost, makes it worse than even Ruin II when casting on the move.

So no, miasma II on single target puts you in harm's way (melee) with actually a dps loss.

Might as well take it off your bar, (which I have, ughhhhh its bad), and tridisaster if you actually want adds to die faster. Tri-disaster, btw, is a dps loss over ruin unless there are more than 3 targets. Ruin is 80 pot/2.5 sec, which is 32 pps, while tri-disaster on 3 targets is 90/3 = 30 pps. Furthermore I don't think I have to explain the benefits of focusing down one target first.

You use Miasma II in conjunction with Contagion. Have you not been reading?

It's not in harms way. There is not a single boss in this game where you can't be in melee range, and the only one you want to go in to cast, and then out, is ADS.

If you take it off your bar, you're bad, because it's also good for AoE.

There are no benefits if you don't need that single target down.

Wait really? So if the tank is taking less damage, thats a bad thing?

If you really want to nitpick about that, then why don't we add in healer damage if they don't have to heal the tank as much? I think that's more than the 3 potency a second dot we're talking about here.

50 additional potency a minute with contagion, with the fact that you also lose 10 initial potency from ruin, comes out to a 0.7 pps a second gain. I mean, I guess. You're right at least that its a slight gain over not doing it.

On what fight do they need to be taking less damage? Turn 1, nope. Can't AoE. Snakes are seperate. Turn 2? Nope, nothing to AoE. Turn 3? Lol? AoE through that. Turn 4? AoE spiders/rooks, single target soldiers/dreadnoughts. You don't single target the rooks down. Turn 5? AoE the beginning drakes. When snakes spawn during air phase, single target the big snake and then AoE the small ones.

Or are you talking trash? Why aren't you AoEing trash?

If you can AoE, you should be. It kills all mobs faster.

Oh, I haven't done Coil, so I don't know the mechanics of the fights.

If the AoEs are all zerg aoes and none of the targets have mechanics or do significant damage or what have you, sure.

I still don't think miasma 2 is worthwhile single target though, and thats mostly what I was trying to reconcile. Also I might have posted in the wrong thread.

I think you did.

But I'm curious, what fights do you think you need to single target, when multiple targets are present, and not AoE? I never saw a fight like that.

I mean..Maybe the first boss of Cutter's cry on the first big add, but our single target IS our AoE..
