Swiftcast Summons

Costs too much mana to do effectively.

I had a similar idea of using Ifrit for Enkindle and then bringing Garuda back in.

Learn something new every day, I really had no clue. I don't have Miasma II so I can't test it out, but do you HAVE to be in melee range to cast it?

Miasma II is an AoE around the caster, so yeah.


Also my auto attack hits for ~60-70. It's not automatically toggled on. You either have to toggle it, or right click the mob to turn it on.

Got it! I wish you were on my server so that I can pick your brain. Too bad this forum doesn't a PM system. Let me ask you a question tho, off topic but smn related. How does my rotation look:

RS>Bio 2>Miasma>Bio>Fester>Thunder>Shining Emerald>

Im currently lvl 40 and since then Ive been using EmCarb for any boss fights. Let me know what you think, thanks!

I don't use RS first at my gear level due to aggro issues(and not having quelling strikes), but if you're not pulling aggro that would be an effective way of doing it. As long as you get 2 festers in every RS, and Contagion/SE in every RS, that is good.

Great! I noticed even before I got RS I was pulling aggro all the time during the beginning minute(s) of a fight(which sucks!) Also, I used to do shining emerald and THEN thunder before I realized that it was also increased by it.

Gear wise, how should i approach it. Right now my priorities are as follow: INT>Crit> DET....But lately Ive been thinking to do DET over Crit for better overall damage as opposed to a CHANCE at CRIT.

I do Acc(until 451 cap) > Int > Crit > Det=Spell Speed. Basically, maximize Int and Crit and then whatever secondary stats are on the pieces I'm fine with.

Never use Ifrit.

His attack seems to scale off of STR(or maybe the physical damage/auto attack on the book, rather than magical). It's 120 potency but hitting for ~120-130. Garudas 100 potency is hitting for ~180-190. Auto attacks don't make up the difference in pet alone, not even mentioning Contagion.

Reasoning on why I think Ifrit is lower: It's splitting the crits between a weaker and stronger attack, rather than just a single stronger attack. It's better to crit on a bigger hit than it is a small one, and if you have equal crit chance the bigger will win on the same timers.




Some longer parses(note the parser is 100% accurate for pets. Everything is logged, no DoTs):

tl;dr

Don't use Ifrit.

Ever.
