Summoners and Parties

[Galaxia]

Hello Everyone

Just a quick post to find out about Summoner after lv 35+ I was told after this Pt's become very rare and I wouldn't get many invites. Just wondering how long nomaly and a rough idea it takes normaly for you lot to get a Party? At the moment I am lv 32 with All Spirits and Avatars but Fenrir. If pt's are going to become such a problem I will be considering a class change to Bard. :confused:



Thanks for your time!

youll usually find yourself waiting about 20 mins. I never had to wait for more than 45 mins

>.< I was told there would be a sevral hours wait ^.^
I got DRG to lvl 40 and the pt's took ages for them so 45mins is nothing ^.^

Honestly you shouldn't have a problem finding groups till 56. At 56 whm's get Raise II and no one knows that you can heal diseased status XD Making your own parties is probably the best thing you can do at this level. Also your reputation by this time is crucial. If people don't see you as a team player you'll have a hard time convincing the crucial tank or refresher to join. Currently tanks and refreshers are painfully short at level 58 on Fairy.

Additionally if you are planning on going a damage route you'll find that you won't get many invites that high unless you make your own parties. Personally I play whatever I believe the party needs. Meteorite after a dispel does about 400 damage and I can close Distortion with double (highest was a 600 damage double slap on a low IT (ranges about 50-550 or so, generally toward the lower end)). Those are the only forms of damage I use. Hopefully I'll get fenrir when people in my LS finally get their moon baubles XD Best party post 55 for a smn: 3 rng/nin, 1 nin (optional), 1 refresher, 1 smn. Any ninja that says that he'll hold hate at 55 against 3 rangers doesn't really know what they are talking about Once the sidewinders go off the ninja will lose hate :p

Honestly, I wish I could have found SMNs during those levels to party with. I had a static that was 5 people. (PLD, DRK, MNK, BRD, WHM) We always tried to find a mage to bring along, but none were ever seeking. The few times we did find a SMN, and bring them along, we gained tons of EXP. Stoneskinaga, Hastaga, Blinkaga, all very helpful. (This was before recent patches which allowed SMNs to participate in Skill Chains and what not.) But when ever we could get out hands on one, we loved having them. Would a RDM or a BLM have been better? Probably in a couple of cases, but we still kicked a lot of ass, and took a lot of names.

I wish I could get in and play now, I'd really like to see how SMNs changed since the update and expansion pack.
