They Call Me the Samurai Summoner!

Ok to start off this was the most disfunctional functioning party I have ever been in, let me explain. Half were great players the other half were idiots. To start off the good side, nin was outstanding to be only level 35ish (when we started) and to understand how to hold hate that well I was impressed. The next job we had was a blm she also was 35 she amazingly understood how to magic burst and she was good at the odd cure here and there. Then there was me, well what else can I say almost flawless (LOL I am not perfect but I know how to play my jobs normally).

Ok now on to the dimwits who wanted to waste my time. I look over and we have two players who are using sneak attack at first I think ok we have two THF's no problem lots of spike damage. Then I notice wait one is using a sword and the other is using a great axe. Cool no problem at least they are not /nin (nothing wrong with the sub just gets old that everyone uses it for everything). So I do a quick check of them and notice that we have a taru Dark/thf who is using a great axe in his 35's. Then onto the next dingbat who is a THF 35/ war 6! Who on top of that is using s SWORD. I sent both a tell asking the drk why he doesn't use great sword or scythe and the thf why he isn't using dagger. They both send back to me something along the lines of "To Weak" or whatever it says in the auto translate. This is when I start to fully pay attention to how much damage these two are doing. The dark would use Sneak Attack Strumwind and do an amazing 126 points of damage, on my war while still in the 29's my strumwind did 260 on a mandy without sneak attack. Next the THF and his amazing sword skills, I seriously don't think he ever broke a 200 point damage WS. Also they never skilled chained for the first hour no one in the PT ever talked about skill chains.

Next onto the 3rd and final member of idiots. Another summoner at first your thinking well ok this can work we can alternate buffs and damage pacts and rock out some nice damage. I tried at first to watch what the other smn and get timing right so we can always keep up some buff's. Well the other smn did an amazing job at casting garuda AOE blink release cure, garuda AOE blink release cure. That was it she never did a rage BP and at the very end of the PT she used her two hour ONCE when u have about 3 mins to use it again.

Ok so now on to the fun part sorry about all the BS but I had to get it off my chest. This is why they call me the Samurai Summoner. Since the party wasn't skill chaining I thought I would. So I started playing with timing and I was able to pull off 3 skill chains with each melee person. I only got two of the SC's because the THF got stupid and started using his weapon skills right after we would nail a nice skill chain. So the 3 skill chains we pulled off were two Detonation's and 1 Fragmentation.
I had no idea Titan was such an animal against bats. Megalith Throw what ever kinda of attack it is must have a bouns on bat types, much like monks on skeletons. No other avatar would hit this number consistently.
