Hi all, just looking for some advice on how to deal with some of the things I'm finding tricky as SMN. Level 70.
I've done some research myself, followed some guides, watched videos, looked at the akhmorning website. I've been practicing my opener a lot and I'm doing pretty well! (I think).
However, there are definitely some issues I'm having. One of the things is 100% user error and that's all on me. That is keeping up DoTs. I'm always hitting my Tri Disaster, never wasting it. I use it whenever I can, including after it's been reset by Dreadwyrm. However, I keep bloody forgetting to manually cast Bio and Miasma in the time between Tri Disaster cooldowns/resets, so my DoTs are always offline for like 15-20 seconds at a time. Not really sure if there's any tips anyone could give for this, but if you can think of anything please share!
The second thing is Bahamut. I've got to give credit where credit is due, Summoner is bloody awesome in terms of visuals. Easily my favourite in that department alone. Akh Morn and Deathflare are the two most satisfying abilities I've used, taking the top spot away from my previous favourite stress relief button that was Fell Cleaves under Berserk.
That being said, would I be wrong to say that Summoner has some inherent clunk/quirkiness? I'm not trying to take responsibility away from myself or blame the game, don't get me wrong. Bahamut feels so great and yet so awful to use at the same time. I've read that I need to try and get 8 Wyrmwaves from him and two Akh Morns. I'm finding that to be really bloody hard. Is he a bit unresponsive at times or is it just me? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
The last thing is regarding Deathflare and Akh Morn themselves. Whilst I've been practicing and making mistakes, I've noticed something about these two abilities. They seem to be quite strict? I don't know how else to word it, but let me explain. From the many times I've messed up on the dummy and when just experimenting with timings, what I can fit in etc, if I use Deathflare at the last second on Dreadwyrm trance, sometimes it looks like it's firing off but it will end abruptly and do no damage? Same thing with Akh Morn, if I do the second one at the last 1.5 seconds or so, it's like it casts it but it does no damage. It honestly feels like Bahamut dips a tiny bit earlier than his timer ends, but I'm not 100% sure on that? Is his timer poorly aligned with when he leaves?
That's all I can think of for now, thanks in advance for any and all advice.
