Galka Summoner!?!?

Interested in my Penance Hat?

I think the discussion has run the gamut in terms of gear, but an option for leveling is Goblin Pets. I started at 65 in Bibiki Bay when Fenrir could do Eclipse Bite, but I'm sure it can be done elsewhere.

Just make sure you have alot of room to work with.
 
For me its always been:

hMP > -perp > MP + BP recast down +etc (grouped together)

at 75 refresh> -perp > hMP> everything else (I don't really go out of my way for MP gear, but then I'm a Taru, base MP naked is like 1000+ lol)

For - perpetuation costs, there are times where you don't summon right next to the mob, which means you have to wait for your avatar to move into range. Also, when you exp off imps, you wait for them to use a TP move, then move in and BP (they have an aoe that will lock job abilities, which will not only stop BP use, but will not allow you to release your pet). As for healing, past 50 or so I hated main healing. Cure III sucks past that point plain and simple. If you have a PLD tank, you have to spam it most of the fight (allowing the PLD enough hp to cure himself), and if you have a NIN tank, if it's shadows drop, you may not be able to save them (if the mob is hitting for more then 200 per hit, or crits for like 450+, the nin is all but dead). NIN is the preferred tank though, seeing that you can use fenrir to boost its eva (lvl 54?) and base stats, and titan to give NIN stoneskin (48) so he at least has a chance to get shadows back up. Ultimately, your BP buffs will be the major thing you do for the party, making you similar to BRD or COR in some aspects.

can use ifrit or leviathan for imps since amnesia is fire based

now if you get caught in it then yeah it can get hairy


edit: my bp gear is around 1002mp as a 71 smn my max is lol1014

i could push it up higher if i macroed in my mp gear from rdm but it'd probrably rise to about 1050ish?

I woudln't worry too much about max mp like any mage job you're rarely at max mp 90% of the time, how you manuever with avatars is the most important key since you have to be very careful with your mp pool.

try some campaign or soloing when you get of level and you'll understand what I mean

That is the most important rule when soloing realy, make sure you have room to work with.
Before picking a spot to solo it is important to know which paths are safe to use as kite paths, if there are agroing mobs on that kite path (like IC where bats spawn on several kite paths at night which agro sound) and if there is a zone nearby where you can run to in case of an emergency.
 
also make sure you dont lose hate on the mob, i actually thought it impossible until i started soloing a olden treat at 71 smn yesterday.

i lost hate a few times and eventually it depopped, I'm used to the mob having hate while soloing as rdm so it was kinda awkward.

something to remember if i camp nms with competition >,>
 
Happened to me regularly when I solo'd Aquarius.

Which resulted in unintentionally mpking unsuspecting people >_>;

Main reason I gave up on the lvl 20 avatar fights, this happened to me >.>
 
I think it has to do with a mix of slowly losing hate and taking mobs outside their spawn points. I did a few tests with this in U range.

I would Dia a Bomb with carby up, run off through a tunnel and wait for death. I'd resummon but carby would just sit at my feet. It happened a lot till I was told there was a better place to solo bombs in U range(At the top lol)

I think there are still a lot of glitches when it comes to Carby kiting.
