An Idiot's Skills/Abilities Guide to SUMMONER!!! | FFXIV

hello so you've just started final fantasy xiv you've created your warrior light and now you're stuck on picking a job you saw a certain youtuber and how he loves summoner and bahamut and you think to yourself i want to be like him so you picked arcanist summoner is the coolest caster dps ever they literally use a book in order to summon primals bahamut and phoenix to their side in order to dish out massive dps summoner overall has a pretty simple rotation and a lot of mobility so let's take a look let's start with your normal spells ruin is your main dps spell at level 62 you unlock ruin 4. ruin 4 is a separate button to ruin 3 and you're able to use it once you use energy drain a single target attack or energy siphon an aoe attack ruin 4 itself is a strong aoe attack energy drain and energy siphon will also give you two aether flow stacks which you can use on fester a strong single target attack or pain flare an aoe attack you also have your normal aoe spell which is outburst or tri-disaster you also have physique the same healing spell scholars have it's really bad summoners also have a resurrection spell which is very useful if one of your healers goes down or if the party needs help with raising at the start of any encounter you'll want to summon your carbuncle karvi is your friend that has a few abilities of its own brady and aegis will give you a personal shield that lasts for 30 seconds at level 88 you'll get a second charge of radiant aegis searing light will give you and your party members a 3 damage buff for 30 seconds the aoe for this buff is centered around your carbuncle so make sure it's near the party when you use it be sure to keep in mind that your car buckle abilities can only be used while your carbuncle is out alright let's talk about your summons at level 6 you'll unlock aether charge when you use aether charge it'll increase the potency of ruin by 50 and outburst by 20. this move lasts for 15 seconds and when the duration ends you'll gain a ruby topaz and emerald arcanum these three lego pieces will allow you to summon ruby topaz or emerald carbuncles whenever you summon any of the carbuncles they'll go to your current target and do a strong attack on them all of the carbuncles will make gem shine change to different attunements based on which one you have summoned both topaz and emerald arcanums will make gemshine turn into topaz and emerald ruin both of these moves are instant casts with topaz having a higher potency and emerald having a faster global cooldown when you summon the ruby carbuncle it'll change gem shine to ruby ruin which is the strongest out of all three but has a long cast time like gem shine precious brilliance will also change the different versions of outbursts based on the carbuncle you have summoned all of these moves are mainly used for aoe at level 30 35 and 45 all of your carbuncles will be upgraded to their primal eggies ruby carbuncle will change the e3 eggy toe pass carbuncle will change the titan eggy and emerald carbuncle will change the garuda eggy at level 50 all of your eggies will use different attacks when you summon them e3 eggy will use inferno titan eggy will use earthen fury and garuda eggy will use aerial blast at level 58 aether charge will upgrade to dreadroom trance when you use dreadworm trance it'll change ruin 3 to astral impulse which is stronger than ruin 3 and is an instant cast outburst will change to astral flare which is stronger than outburst and is also an instant cast at level 70 dredborn trance will upgrade to summon bahamut which means you can literally summon bahamut to fight for you for 15 seconds you also get an ability called in kindle bahamut which will make bahamut execute akborn an insanely powerful aoe attack at level 72 you'll get ruby topaz and emerald right which will replace gem shine from now on all of these moves are stronger than your upgraded ruins and at level 82 you'll get ruby topaz and emerald catastrophe which will replace precious brilliance from now on instead of your upgraded tri-disasters at level 80 you'll be able to summon phoenix after bahamut phoenix will grant all nearby party members a regen for 21 seconds summoning phoenix will change ruin 3 to falwen of fire which is even stronger than astral impulse and is an instant cast tri-disaster will change the brand of purgatory which is stronger than astral flare and is also an instant cast you can also use in kindle phoenix which will make phoenix use revelation an insanely powerful aoe attack one thing i should mention make sure to use all of your arcanums before summoning bahamut or phoenix you do not want to waste the strong dps that comes from using a primal summon speaking of primals at level 90 e3 titan and garuda eggy will be upgraded to their full primal forms these massive primals will execute the same moves as before but will be a bit stronger by the way you can change the size of all the primals by using the slash pet size command at level 60 you'll unlock astral flow which will change the different moves based on what you have currently summoned when in dreadworm trains or with muhammad al it'll change the death flare a strong aoe attack with phoenix out it'll change to rekindle which is similar to scholars exclutation where you can place it on yourself or one party member and when their hp falls below 75 or when the duration ends it'll give them a small regen rekindle will also give them a heal when you apply it to them at level 86 all of your primal summons will change astral flow to some special moves with e freed out astro flow will change the crimson cyclone which is summoner's gap closer yes you heard me right summoner's freaking gap closer which also does aoe damage afterwards it'll change the crimson strike where you slam the book into the ground and deal aoe damage with titan out astral flow will change the mountain buster after each topaz right make sure to use mountain buster each time because using another topaz right will overwrite the current mountain buster meaning you lose out on it with garuda out astral flow will change to slipstream which has a long cast time but will deal aoe damage and drop a circle aoe on the ground which will do continuous damage over 15 seconds to any enemy that stands in it i don't really like to talk about optimizations as much since there's plenty of other videos for that but if you want a good idea of which order to summon your primals the general order is titan first then garuda then e3 another order is garuda then titan then e3 make sure to also use searing light before summoning bahamut if you want more explanation on optimizations and such check out the balance discord link is in the description below but yeah that basically sums up summoners so bye oh really quickly i also stream on twitch i'm currently doing a blind prague a pandemonium savage with my static so come check it out link is in the description below along with a link to my discord
