If they are spamming Fire2 and shit, I guess. But I have a feeling that you mean Shadow Flare.

Still, I did Wanderer multiple times on SCH and no issues here soooo~

To be frank, queuing healer doesn't help your queue time by much of anything BECAUSE of all the ARCs thinking the same thing. I still get 20-30+ minute quques as healer. I haven't played any tanks recently, but I understand that those are the only insta-queue classes.

Yeah, after 30 the queue hierarchy is basically

Tank >>> Healer >>>>>>>>> DPS

You need to find good DDs for that. If DDs are shit at least WHM can make up for it.

Just unlocked SMN and I'm wondering..is Ifrit the go-to pet until Garuda, or should I still use Emerald Carby? (In dungeons)

**Gokulo** · 2013-08-31 16:12

You get titan before garuda, who is a badass tank. But in dungeons ifrit is fine I think

**Seravi Edalborez** · 2013-08-31 16:20

Someone else posted this earlier but:

Ifrit for damage when AoE isn't a concern (more something that would debilitate Ifrit than kill it, since it dying isn't a huge issue)
Emerald/Garuda for when it is (Emerald is arguably? outclassed by Ifrit but it's a little more even as Garuda)
Topaz/Titan for solo or if you have a really shitty tank

Emerald/Garuda has the advantage of not having to chase stuff down as well.

How do we macro pet abilities like Eos' "Embrace"? "/ac" does not appear to work.

**Seravi Edalborez** · 2013-08-31 21:51

Can't at the moment. Annoyingly.

Is it just me or are SCH's enfeebles/ DoT more potent than SMN and ACN?

I ask because I was just doing some quests at Overlook/ Nym and switched to SCH for the quest. I was killing mobs very quickly with the DoT, Aero, and some added Ruin, roughly the same speed as my SMN using Ifrit and Fester.

Did you invest your attributes into MND and then used Cleric Stance?

They aren't. SMN has more INT and Fester (and a pet that actually deals damage), there's no way you're killing faster on SCH unless you put all your points into MND and are using Cleric Stance (maybe).

**Toth** · 2013-09-01 07:19

No i wasn't using Cleric Stance at all. Hmm... I have been putting 50/50 in INT/MND as well. Maybe the added Aero makes a big difference.

**Alkar** · 2013-09-01 09:45

Aero is nice but it doesn't come close to Fester and a pet that attacks. Summoner also gets Raging Strikes and Spur+Rouse for their pets so it's not even a contest.

**Toth** · 2013-09-01 18:20

Do you need to beat Garuda for the lvl 45 SMN quest by chance?

**Gokulo** · 2013-09-01 18:20

Yes

**Zzsark** · 2013-09-01 18:21

Yes but story mode Garuda isn't bad.

2 45 quests, first one gives you all the non-body AF pieces and does not need Garuda completion. The second is for Garuda and the 45 ability and does need completion.

**Niiro** · 2013-09-01 18:41

Was massively disappointed when I found out you didn't get the body till 50.

The rest of the gear is barely decent at lvl 45, by the time you can wear the body at 50 there's no point at all -_-
