This is not better than Ruin, but is necessary in your rotation. Generally, healers will worry about this. Small chance that when someone with E4E is hit, the attacker will do 10% less damage. This also takes one stack of Aetherflow to use. Yay, we're starting to get the real Summoner rotation now! From now on, you open with Bio II > Miasma > Bio > Ruin. You use sustain to heal your pet if it's ever necessary.īio II | Level 26 | Potency: 35 | Duration: 30s It is, however, useful when soloing content. Should never be necessary unless you need a tank when it comes to dungeons. Your Topaz Carbuncle, and eventually, Titan-egi. For now, it only affects their strength and dexterity. The reason behind this is because Miasma has a longer duration than Bio. Woohoo, another DoT! From now on, start casting this one first, and then apply Bio. Miasma | Level 10 | Potency: 35 | Duration: 24s This restores your MP as well as HP and is your spike for now. Instant cast that takes one stack of Aetherflow. At level 35, it starts being used for Fester, but I'll cover that later. You eventually get a total of three stacks of Aetherflow. You generally won't have to worry about using it unless the healer dies.Īt lower levels, Aetherflow is used for Energy Drain, which is your highest burst at the moment. This is the heal that Scholars mainly use. It does a decent amount of DPS and should always be the one you use in dungeons up until level 30, unless you need a tank. This is your Emerald Carbuncle at lower levels. Meet the most adorable thing in the world! Until it turns into a Garuda, anyways. For now, all you do is put this up and the spam Ruin. It may seem lackluster, but your DoTs and Garuda will do plenty to make up for it.īio | Level 2 | Potency: 40 | Duration: 18s It's also your hardest hitting consistent move. This is the ability you will always use when you're unable to use your DoTs or need to aid someone else. It's extremely helpful and I highly recommend it to anyone who isn't sure how to start their gearing. I use to determine gear stats and what I'm going to focus on. I have a Best In Slot that's aimed for stacking crit. For food, you generally want things such as Black Truffle Risotto, which is +crit, +det, and +vit.Ī Summoner can be built in a few ways. For the latest extension to coil, the cap is 495, but you don't have to worry about that until you get there.įood does not affect your pet's accuracy, and Summoners are special in a way that our pet has an accuracy cap as well, which is why our cap is higher than the black mage's, despite both being casters. This is the accuracy cap for Turn 5 (one of the endgame contents). Gear wise, you're going to want to focus on Accuracy until you hit 450. Spell Speed is something a black mage strives for, and something you can typically ignore. What you want to focus on as a Summoner is Critical Hit Rate and Determination. Typically, for a Summoner, the Mythology/Soldiery tomestone pieces are, arguably, best in slot. There is no reason to stack anything else as one. Logically, you are aiming to stat Intelligence as a Summoner. Garuda takes the spot of your Emerald Carbuncle and is a magic burst DPS. Titan takes the spot of your Topaz Carbuncle that you get at level 15 arcanist and is a tank. Ifrit is the first pet you unlock and is a melee DPS. Personally, my summoner has twenty-five in intelligence and five in vitality to make it a little more sturdy.Ī summoner gets a total of three pets (with Leviathan, Ramuh, and, as hinted, Shiva coming soon): Ifrit, Titan, and Garuda. These go with your base class and do not change between jobs, so choose which one you wish to main. As a scholar, you put all thirty in mind. As a summoner, you want to put all thirty into intelligence. These are extra points you get (a max of thirty) that you can put into any stat. Once you become a summoner, your quests are now located in Old Gridania instead of Limsa Lominsa.Īs you might have noticed if you do unlock scholar at any point in time, you share attribute points with summoner. Of course, if you're reading this, you likely chose summoner. Summoner requires thaumaturge to level fifteen. Scholar requires conjurer to level fifteen. Once you reach thirty, you have two choices: go scholar or summoner. Summoner is also unique in the fact that it is one of two jobs you can play. It is a very fulfilling role to take on if you want to have a class that almost always has something to do, whether it is DoT management, debuffing/buffing for your team, or even taking on the healer role of reviving someone or healing, if this is ever necessary. Learning how to understand this class is sometimes very hard or very easy for people. The long answer? One of the harder to grasp classes due to DoTs and pet management playing a huge role in it. The short answer? A DPS that is quite fulfilling to play if you love using damage over time (DoTs) spells.
