Just because you don't see them doesn't mean they don't appear

RDM is eaaaasy
manic flare
whereas machinist is really simple
slate arrow
At least in comparison to BLM and SMN
slate arrow
BLM you can't move or it's a DPS loss most of the time
manic flare
i find RDM harder than SMN
sour ruin
I don't really feel much of a favor for any of the classes
slate arrow
SMN you have to keep track of 4 distinct phases while also tracking ruin 4 stacks for maximum DPS
crimson wind
I'm confused...how did i just go from Miner level 34 to 41 in one leve
also where do I go for level 41 leves
slate arrow
@crimson wind leves buffed so hard back in 5.1 it's hilarious
rugged prairie
thats the only thing turning me off to BLM right now, is having to move to dodge and losing dps becauise of that
crimson wind
lmao
rugged prairie
always played casters thooo
sour ruin
Except im pretty sure that whm is far and away the most popular healer
manic flare
i love machinist
so mobile
without dps hit
u can literally dance around the map and still maintain ur dps
slate arrow
I can say the same for black mage at level 80
sour ruin
Dancer and bard can so that too
crimson wind
MCH has fairly low dps compared to most other classes
slate arrow
I always use BLM for expert roulette
sour ruin
All insant casts
manic flare
@sour ruin really?

The immobility thing is almost a non issue

There's no support dps

faint flare
Just dps who give buffs ontop of stuff

@sour ruin what's the best healer class for dps'ing?

so i use them while waiting for jolt and the verspells?
slate arrow
you weave them
faint flare
After dualcast
slate arrow
Every other cast is an instant cast
faint flare
Short spell > dualcast spell> weave
sour ruin
Fleche and stuff yeah but you use Accel and Manafication for your burst phases
manic flare
i feel like RDM requires way more hotkeys binds to be as effective as other classes
faint flare
Not really, it's one of the lower
sour ruin
Even if your Manas are below 40?
little swift
If you accelerate in melee you waste it as well
keen steeple
@twilit arch Thank you
faint flare
Manafaction is used between 40/40 and 60/60
slate arrow
with your opener you get 40/41 in like 6 GCDs
little swift
If you do your rotation right
slate arrow
Then manafiction > melee > embolden > verflare/verholy > scorch
faint flare
With normal gauge generation you'll have enough mana to Manafaction on time
manic flare
keep in mind im just at the end of heavensward
faint flare
Acceleration helps gauge and avoid jolt casts
manic flare
alot of those spells i dont have yet
faint flare
You dont want to cast jolt if you can avoid it
Either by using procs or fishing with swiftcast
manic flare
are there good guides for setting up hotkeys for different classes?
slate arrow
preference
manic flare
i feel like my hotkey set up is my main limiting factor
faint flare
Hotkeys are all preference

Do i really need 5k Gathering Scrip per folklore book and theres like 20-30 of these things? O.o

One note snack, you can set up your entire hotbar ahead of time. As in you can drag all skills up to 80 to your hotbars, even though you arent there yet. Hope that helps

Are you in post ARR?

You can't pull ago from tanks because tanks will always have aggro unless they die

im like at last segment of the epilogue of heavensward but still
remote lintel
@violet forge yes
granite swan
@violet forge 3 Per Day, unless you ranked up rep that day, then its 6
granite swan
How plausable is it to get White Scrip with only 70 scrip gear? Every guide i find already has 80 gear which makes it kinda pointless >.>
violet forge
@remote lintel @granite swan so its not like the Kobold beast tribe where once u unlocked trusted or above, you get 6 daily quest (additional 3)
remote lintel
no iirc
open ember
Because you need a lv80 crafter to get White Scrip gear
remote lintel
and you don't get the extra quests once you reach a high rank anyway
obsidian patio
@granite swan might not be able to get the highest reward tier, but the first or second tier should be doable
open ember
Thus is more plausible to have lv80 gear to make custom deliveries easier
obsidian patio
And yeah, custom deliveries are an easy source of white scrips
open ember
But you can it'll just be. Harder
twilit arch
ARR beast tribes are exception. Expansion tribes only give 3 a day, unless you rank up (barring sworn/bloodsworn) @violet forge
violet forge
@granite swan speaking of 70 yellow scrip gear, its super hard to get white scrip collectables (very RNG reliant) im trying to level my crafter to get level 80 crafting/gathering gear
@granite swan or if you have plenty of gil lying around just buy em from MB
@twilit arch ah okay, thank u very much
granite swan
I was tryin to avoid spending gil since i already dumped way more then i wanted lol
violet forge
@granite swan i know the dwarves beast tribe has a vendor that sells their dwarf crafting set that is around 25k each
granite swan
in torma or where the dailies are?
open ember
Dwarf beast tribes
violet forge
@granite swan just get your LTW/WVR up to 80 and make the 80 gathering/crafter gear if u have the time
fast hull
why are dwarves called "beast tribes" they are just lalafels with beady yellow eyes o.O ?
open ember
That's a question for #archived-lore-spoilers
violet forge
and sexy beards
remote lintel
spoiler but ok
violet forge
1 hour ban
twilit arch
because its what those dailies have been called since ARR
and there's no point in changing their name when they function exactly the same
violet forge
@granite swan i use this website https://ffxivcrafting.com/ to help me with gearing
twilit arch
also beast tribe in-game is basically a term used to discriminated against others
rare shore
the Japanese name for beast tribes translates to barbarians, so that’s a point

is there any way for me to check how much bicolor gemstone i have? i dont see it on my currency tab
fast hull
I have those things? What are they for (bicolor gemstone)
violet forge
Minor spoiler?
im farming em for the +mount speed on shadowbringer maps
twilit arch
can use them to buy stuff from the bicoloured gem vendors
namely crafting materials, and higher ranks you can get orchestrions and bardings
fast hull
? confused I thought those are centurio coins or something
twilit arch
for hw/sb zones, they are
for shb zones they are from bicoloured.
but honestly the riding maps aren't worth it
violet forge
centurio are ARR (?)
twilit arch
allied are ARR

Ocean fishing
tawdry otter
in limsa?

You could also do diadem I guess but that's much slower, you also get scrips there tho
Yes
The ones that go out every 2 hours
They also give yellow and sometimes white scrips too believe it or not
faint flare
White scrips in ocean fishing is for catching 5* fish
Which are the inituion fish during spectrals that often need different bait than the ones the boat gives

@tawdry otter what worked for me is this. Finish MSQ > food buff/commercial scrips from FC/yellow scrips will make it quicker > Diadem in ishgard. (1 hour i went from 1 -60 (?)

Vendor gear is just for leveling

calm phoenix
My wife needs to "mooch a fish" for a catfish for her quest but the option is always grayed out for her even after catching the correct high quality fish. It never lets her use the fish for a bigger fish! Does anybody know what the problem could be?
It also says she cannot execute the command
calm phoenix
Yes she is. Right where it told her to go
gritty oracle
Also, a friend mentioned he's seen a "Vergil knockoff" in "one of the first cinematics where guys in magitek show up after you get the airship thing" where there was a guy in red samurai armour, with a katana, white, spiky hair that's sleeked back. Who the sweet hell is he talking about?

It is not at all for her

I was in Sastasha (the first 4 man dungeon) that other day and our tank have trouble holding aggro for some reason.
Tank stance is up, gear is level 30 white gear, and I told the tank to keep spam AOE and he just did so as a DRK.
Like, it feels weird, can you even grab aggro from a tank that keeps spamming AOE?

That's just weird lol

I already said that she is catching the correct fish to do the mooching. It says which one in the quest
tacit atlas
Maybe he was somehow missing the mobs or something like that?
ripe hound
Yeah, he's a new tank so I tried to reach him
Yeah, I was thinking maybe the elevation of the map somehow caused the AOEs to not to hit
wintry chasm
Nah that shouldn't be a thing Akira
ripe hound
But usually at LV18, you just can't grab aggro from a tank that have gear and tank stance up right?
wintry chasm
Right
rotund sable
usually at any level you cant just yoink aggro
ripe hound
Yeah, the only gear he is missing is that he is wearing a single Weathered Ring
Everything else is Lv30 equipment
tacit atlas
You shouldn't be able to just steal aggro specially if their gear is synched
rotund sable
Lv30 white gear is still pretty trash
ripe hound
Yeah
rotund sable
but should be plenty for sast

It's not letting her at all. She's catching the fish that it says to use for mooching but the option is not letting her use it

Honestly eve if you were to spam heal
quaint forge
I’m pretty sure I turned on estate teleport in FC public 
wintry chasm
I'm sure you can't steal aggro
rotund sable
SCH could with huge healing aggro but even that shouldnt be an issue
wintry chasm
Whatever the issue is I'm 90% sure it's the tank
ripe hound
But yeah, it doesn't make any sense
It's definitely the tank but I just can't figure out why
rotund sable
the only thing that should yoink aggro in sastasha is dancer taking temp threat with standard finish on pull
but even that should be like
a second
ripe hound
Yeah, it's the first dungeon the tank is tanking
strange coral
Are you sure the tank wasn't toggling tank stance on and off? I've seen a few sprout tanks do that on cooldown.
tacit atlas
Only thing I can think off is doing that
ripe hound
No, he only toggled it on once half way though the dungeon when I notice he don't have it on
wintry chasm
Are you sure the tank wasn't toggling tank stance on and off? I've seen a few sprout tanks do that on cooldown.
This is the only thing I can think of
Maybe you just didn't notice he took it off
tacit atlas
I think that that might be the problem lol
ripe hound
So I definitely remember seeing it on in the second half
wintry chasm
maybe he misclicked or something
ripe hound
Maybe
rotund sable
realistically that must be it
tacit atlas
If you noticed that it was off mid dungeon
rotund sable
the story just doesnt work otherwise
ripe hound
Yeah, maybe I didn't notice when he's toggling mid dungeon
I mean I just taught him to "Tank stance -> Mitigation -> AOE -> AOE" which should mean he can't loose aggro...
Wait, was this understood as "toggle tank stance everytime you pull"?
zinc orbitBOT
granite swan
some people might read it that way i guess
ripe hound
lol
granite swan
Its kinda weird needing a stance for tanking anyway, thats like needing a dps stance on a BLM >.>
crisp ether
game should seriously just turn on tank stance for 4 man dungeons
thers 0 reason to not have it on in 4 mans
in 8/24 is more useful to denote main tank
halcyon glen
@granite swan it makes more sense when you only one want one person with aggro
but have two tanks
the off tank generally tanks without stance
granite swan
So make the stance transfer your agro to that person and have it built into the class?
halcyon glen
they have shirk for aggro transfer
crisp ether
shirk/provoke
tacit atlas
@calm phoenix try taking mooch off their hotbar then putting it there again
It's the only thing that I can think of since you seem to be doing everything else correctly
If it was the gear you would be able to mooch but you just wouldn't be able to catch the fish after that
If that still doesn't work then try leveling up? That could work for some reason
I'm trying to think about every possible solution lol

outside of grabbing a friend with a two seater whats the fastest way to find all the aetheryte thingies for flying? just getting them as you explore doing quests or go hunting for them specifically with your compass?

how can i level up if i switch a class?
Complete your hunting log to get EXP up to level 15, then start grinding in the highest level dungeon you have available. Alternatively, you can do palace of the dead and heaven on high.

You just level up normally @terse kindle

See here
tacit atlas
Otherwise if you meant "quickly" then yes that
terse kindle
i usually level up with the msq
leaden ginkgo
If you finish the msq; dungeons, deep dungeons, daily beast tribe quests and roulettes will be the only option left.
terse kindle
i havent finished msq cause i dont have level to do it
and i dont have level to continue the guild quests
leaden ginkgo
What level are you?
tacit atlas
Roulettes?
terse kindle
7 currently
tacit atlas
Unless you are haven't unlocked 2 dungeons yet
Ah
Do the hunting log
Gives lots of exp at low levels
terse kindle
this?
tacit atlas
Yes
faint flare
Yes
terse kindle
rank 2,3 aswell?
i just saw there are more ranks
i thought there were only 1 hunt log
faint flare
Do them until you get access to dungeons
tacit atlas
If i remember correctly they are in increments of 10 levels
I think
So rank 2 hunt log would be mobs that are between level 10-20
Rank 3 between 20-30
etc
But you usually just do them until you have dungeons unlocked since doing them is much quicker
ripe hound
Dungeons are still just Fast EXP right?
terse kindle
where can i find the mobs?
ripe hound
For some reason I feel that DPS queues are much shorter during off hours
tacit atlas
Put your mouse over the mob in question
ripe hound
Like in midnight or something
tacit atlas
It tells you the area
terse kindle
and where do i see the area?
tacit atlas
In your map
For example if it says that it's in lower la noscea cedarwood
I look for that place in the map
Which would be here
And then i would go there
terse kindle
i have lots of issues finding locations on the map
tacit atlas
you could also just google the mob name in question
They usually give you the exact coordinates of where they are
leaden ginkgo
@terse kindle http://dimensionaldeath.com/index.php?page=huntinglogs
Select your job and log rank.
And you will be provided with specific image and mob locations for each log.
tacit atlas
Also @ripe hound that's probably because people just want to do a roulette then go to sleep
So they go healer or tank

midnight laurel
I have read that best current way to level DoH is ishgard restoration, and can level DoL while gathering those mats in Diadem.
Except FSH according to that guide. It said leves are cheap for FSH. I'm not sure if it's quite cheap enough for me, I'm usually sliding towards broke.
Assuming it is really that cheap, I should then do diadem for all other doh/dol and leves for FSH?
I heard ocean fishing is better exp, but it's on a 2 hour rotation/commitment and I can't commit to 2 hours to play definitely these days.

Level 60 Gathering Quests are trolling or what? Do you seriously have to wait 30-45 min between each harvest for these things?

yerp thats timed nodes for ya

Ocean fishing is just every 2 hours
It's not a 2 hour commitment
It's more like 30 minutes? i think

and ocean fishing is good, it takes about twenty one or so mins
with loads and wait, about 25-30
tacit atlas
It has been a long time since i actually went on one tho
twilit arch
yeah its not a 2hr commitment
its just that boats themselves run every 2hrs
the voyage is like maybe 30mins
eager widget
it’s kinda just there if you have the time when the window comes up
not something to camp out all day
midnight laurel
ah I see; though not sure how the timing will shake out for me though, maybe I'll get to log on after one boat starts and have to log off before the next one, joy of being a parent lol
eager widget
also btw, at the top of the hour, boat entries last fifteen minutes
so you don’t have to be there exactly on time

Like at least make the 50/60/70 roulette give the same exp as Leveling and Alliance
tacit atlas
It's because leveling up is a one time thing probably
ripe hound
That's a lot more content for leveling immediately
ripe hound
Yeah, I guess I'm more burnned out on leveling because it's my second account
First account is a Chinese account... Which is not "global" so impossible to move

hello one small question please, i'm a free trial player lvl 52 monk should I farm the ironworks gear from the poetics or should I save the poetics till later?
fast hull
do the poetics but its up to level 55
tacit atlas
Buy ironworks
tacit atlas
You get a lot of poetics just by doing your roulettes
fast hull
you are going to struggle in future dungeons without them mnk are squishy
grim nebula
yeah i've felt the squish atm

also really need to learn form shift at 55 I think it gives you infinite Grease lightning

Yeah, I've been there but it doesn't tell me if a certain world would give me road to 70, unless I'm being dumb and missing something?
fast hull
Are using a VPN but I think that is not the problem? you checked your bank account and was charged right?
leaden ginkgo
Preferred servers.
open ember
Preferred servers all give road to 70
south elk
oh
leaden ginkgo
If a server has "Preferred" next to its name it will give newly created characters the road to 70 buff.
south elk
I thought it was by world, sorry
plucky dove
@fast hull not using VPN, no problems with the payment
leaden ginkgo
Be advised that this buff will not be given to preexisting characters that were transferred there.
open ember
No preferred status changes every patch
south elk
ok, ty, sorry for wasting your time lol
open ember
And so does Congestion
No its not a waste of time
Its a question and we'd be happy to answer
fast hull
Yeah according to support then you need contact them. Get the details of the payment and reference number. Tell them its pass 24 hours and the error is still present
south elk
So I'd have to wait until 5.4 to see if my server is preferred?
open ember
Hmmm depends on how populated the server is. There's no indicator on what server might be preferred again
leaden ginkgo
If you mean knowing in advance which server will lose the buff and which server will gain it, that's not known to the players.
open ember
Some servers never get to be preferred while some are always preferred
Like no one knew half of primal was congested until 5.3
Preferred is the same way. Wait until 5.35 when they update the server statuses again
That's on Oct 13th

The zodiac books.
As well as the hyperconductive step in Heavensward as it requires a tremendous amount of poetics.

I love doing 9 very specific tasks, including leves
manic flare
is it generally advised to save levequests for gathering and crafting jobs?
twilit arch
yes
leaden ginkgo
Yes.
twilit arch
leves aren't good for combat jobs
leaden ginkgo
Combat leves were never updated and are obsolete.
open ember
Leveling with dunegons and roulettes are always faster and the rewards are better
manic flare
how many alt classes is it generally recommended to have in stormblood, as to not waste exp?
and take advantage of preferred server status
leaden ginkgo
One dps, one healer and one tank. It would be useful to know how to play each role at least averagely well.
manic flare
i have one class that's maxed at 80
leaden ginkgo
Healer queues are the fastest.
As healers are in high demand at all times.
Tanks come second, and DPS last by far.
manic flare
@leaden ginkgo so i have machinist (74) and summoner (80), so i should level up conjurer?
leaden ginkgo
In alliance raids DPS come first due to the number of players required.
dawn cradle
I am new, but having a healer seems like a must (?)
leaden ginkgo
Level up whatever you want.
dawn cradle
You farm instances way way faster
leaden ginkgo
If you have a level 80 summoner that means you also have a level 80 scholar as they level up together.
So you already have a max level healer.
dawn cradle
I was trying to get some grand company seals and switching to healer, I almost always get insta-queue
manic flare
@leaden ginkgo well i feel like it's a waste of exp to do the MSQ on my summoner since she doesn't get any exp out of it
also my machinist no longer has the under 70 exp bonus
which makes me i think i should have another class
leaden ginkgo
What level is your msq?
manic flare
63
i basically did one dungeon like 100 times because i wanted a specific gear from it
and i still dont have it
leaden ginkgo
Level up whatever job you think is fun.
manic flare
well i love machinist
leaden ginkgo
Be advised that the msq is not a massive deal.
As long as you unlock the dungeons.
manic flare
so the exp u get from MSQ is paltry compared to dungeon exp?
leaden ginkgo
Then with the help of the road to 70 buff + armory bonus + guild exp + food bonuses you can level up quickly enough.
manic flare
so don't worry about wasting exp with MSQ?
leaden ginkgo
The msq EXP is good and will get your first job to 80.
However slowing down your whole progress is unnecessary as you have plenty of options to level up efficiently even after clearing everything.
manic flare
oh ok
that's what i was wondering
i thought like maybe should suspend my MSQ progress to level up some other classes to 63 (my current MSQ level)
so to not waste exp
dawn cradle
Hmm
So am speaking from very little experience, but if u r gonna level up through dungeons, it should depend on class
If u r a healer, u can spam dungeons super quick
but if u r leveling up a dps, I assume it will take considerably longer because u will be in queue
leaden ginkgo
Snackattack, if you are that concerned about the msq, then level up Gunbreaker or Dancer. Those two jobs are from Shadowbringers and start at level 60, so you'll be able to hit 63 and continue your story with them very quickly.
manic flare
ok
dawn cradle
Is my line of thinking correct? @leaden ginkgo
leaden ginkgo
You are correct that DPS takes way longer to find duties with compared to the other two roles.
dawn cradle
In which case, if u want to be very efficent at leveling, you level up dps through MSQ and healer classes/tanks through dungeons
leaden ginkgo
However it's still efficient to wait and do dungeons.
In the meantime you can clear FATEs.
dawn cradle
Fair enough
leaden ginkgo
Furthermore, do not neglect to do your daily roulettes, especially the main scenario one.
plucky dove
Yeah according to support then you need contact them. Get the details of the payment and reference number. Tell them its pass 24 hours and the error is still present
thats all I can do, thanks Barber/Ouchie/Vinyl Tails.
dusk drum
Can I use the icons for Traits as macro icons?

@leaden ginkgo whats the best class u recommend soloing dungeons unsync'ed?
faint flare
I dont believe you can
leaden ginkgo
Any class can solo unsyncned content if you're high enough level and have the right gear.
karmic niche
Paladin
leaden ginkgo
The fastest will be DPS of course.
solid sable
does ACT cause any problems with other games? mainly WoW? Anyone ever any problems?
karmic niche
Is good for solo unsync
leaden ginkgo
But for soloing harder trials like level 60+ content a tank is better suited.
manic flare
i have a level 80 summoner, but i can't clear the the lvl 60+ dungeons solo
leaden ginkgo
Paladin is a good option as Enles mentioned.
manic flare
should i be able to?

He technically need to get to kugane at 65+ i think
manic flare
is the bahamut summon content locked behind MSQ?
meaning u need to progress through a certain portion of stormblood?

I don't recall needing to to expansion areas in the SMN stuff so I think just getting into Stormblood is enough

they said that they were gonna increase cap to 90 right? maybe i should wait until then to do my job quest? since my summoner is capped out

That one will get you to 80 actually, but since Stormblood is no longer sold separately... yes
tacit atlas
If you want to wait a full year then yes
glossy flare
Buying Shadowbringers will allow you to get to 70
open ember
If you buy Shadowbringers now it'll just have it to where its on your service account so when you get there you can hop right in

they said that they were gonna increase cap to 90 right? maybe i should wait until then to do my job quest? since my summoner is capped out

Do your job quests anyway
So you have all your skills regardless

Bad people use it after the healers have blown their healing cooldowns
obsidian patio
Sometimes with very bad timing you get hit between the time that the buff reduces your HP to 1 and the invuln applying.
manic flare
ir?
obsidian patio
But that’s basically like a window the size of a frame or two
The main “meme” complaint is when you use it at low HP, but the WHM used benediction first.
But you used Superbolide right after, making the benediction essentially do nothing
faint flare
So you press it
manic flare
what percentage of healers would understand that?
faint flare
Any with a brain
manic flare
also probably depends on the dungeon
little swift
what is facetank`?
@shrewd mirage facetanking is basically tanking stuff with using defensive cooldowns. facepulling is running into the mob without using an attack to aggro it

Usually yes

Due to rathalos special rules you can solo it on practically almost anyone as long as you can burn it down fast enough in phase 2 before targeted attacks happen
leaden ginkgo
is it bad form for the dps player to aggro additional mobs?
If the tank is new and is taking it slow it might cause issues.
manic flare
i was playing with friends, he later told me he didn't pull aggro on purpose
to let me die
and the healer couldnt save me because i was out of range running around trying to not die

Go to the tank if you get aggro
So they can aoe and pick them up

need to do that magic dps role quest
manic flare
what is double weaving
manic flare
aren't they both GCDs?
faint flare
No
Energy drain and fester are off globals
Skills labelled ability are off globals
And can, and should, be weaved
manic flare
dont u need full aetherflow gauge to use energy drain?
patent citrus
just need 1
faint flare
Energy drain getd you aetherflow for Summoner
manic flare
but because u can't use fester all the time, doesn't that make them not oGCDs?
faint flare
You could but then you clip the gcd
Which is a heavy dps lost
As yoy delay the gcd
Which is very very bad
manic flare
doesn't fester do extra dmg when bio and miasma are cast?

Yes
glossy flare
I mean, you should always have miasma and bio up

into fester

i think fester should be cast last 🤔

Tri Disaster should be your primary mean to apply dot
manic flare
right i always start with egi

You dont hardcast dots unless you dont have Tri up
patent citrus
eh?
manic flare
well TriDisaster has a long cooldown for me
patent citrus
yeah tridisaster -> use 6-7 skills -> tridisaster again
manic flare
but doesn't bio and miasma run out before u can use tridisaster again?
faint flare
Tri diaster > tri diaster reset from dwt after 30s > tri diaster from the new dwt > hardcast dots repeat
glossy flare
trance resets the cd
faint flare
We abuse the trance reset to cover dot applications
manic flare
what does this mean:
Additionally, because the class does so well with Critical Hit (more on this later) it becomes more powerful later on in any given expansion due to Crit's logarithmic scaling.
Because crit increases damage and rate
So more you get, better it is
And we get alot of crit by the end of the expansion
People can hit like around 4k crit
obsidian patio
It’s part of why DH is better than Crit at the start of the expansion for most jobs
Since you don’t have enough Crit to make Crit great
manic flare
DH?
obsidian patio
Direct hit
manic flare
so summoner have much higher chance of landing critical hits than other magic ranged dps classes?
faint flare
Crit rate is equal across.all
warped nest
Direct hit rate improve the chance to do a flat 25 percent more damage
Critical Hit improve the chance to crit, and how much more bonus
manic flare
what about spell speed?
does that decrease cast time?
which stats are most important for summoner?

oh really?
