Turned Summoned

Post by deadman1204 »

I recently bought the first lvl of this AA since I started AAing in Beza - figured its a no mana dps increaser. Well, while my anti summoned nuke works on the machines, the turned summoned aa dot wont land. Is this just a broken AA?

My understanding is that the summoned AA dot only works on actual summoned creatures. The mobs in Beza are considered constructs, so the nukes work, but they are not elemental so the dots don't work.

The clockwork mobs in Beza/Zeka and wherever else are Construct mobs. Our nukes work on them, because they are flagged to work on summoned/construct mobs. However, turn summoned only works on summoned mobs not constructs. :(

Never fought him, but he looks like a construct to me. Most golem models are constructs, whereas things that actually look like our pets (or the elemental models from The Buried Sea) are summoned.

It works on the boss in Warrens Raid and it works on that whirlwind mini-boss in Air 1 of Cryst. There are probably a few more. I never thought to try the beast but just realized it might work since she summons her mate from another plane. Haven't made it to brath yet so don't know there.

There are, but they're probably not the best xp available. Just depends on what you like. I'm not sure since I've never tried, but I'd imagine this would work on steam elementals in BR, or there are the weak elementals in Katta that some like to quickly chew through. I've never gone, but I understand there are quite a few blue elementals in Ashengate as well. Or the trapped elementals in Crystallos (if you have access).

So basically yes, there are plenty of places that would give xp where you could use this, but maybe not the best xp spots. Certainly this would not be a determining factor for me as to where I went to xp, since the damage on it is pretty poor anyway unless you get a 32K proc.

I am pretty sure it works on the elementals in Brell's Rest. It might work on the crystalline mobs in grotto too, but I've not tried it.
