Communication Overflow Summoner: Skill Builds and Rotations
If you're looking for further information on the Communication Overflow
build for Summoner, the following links will provide that for you.
Communication Overflow Summoner Strengths and Weaknesses
High APM and fast paced gameplay
Consistent DPS class and high mobility, good for progging content
Relatively easy entry and good damage floor
Power doesn't really spike until relic gear
Doesn't build as much Identity as Master Summoner
Wants 7-8 damage gems which can be very expensive
Chaos Dungeon Skill Build
Raid Skill Builds
You'll have the option to pick between Earth Collapse,
Steed Charge &
Winged Spirit as
your eighth skill.
Earth Collapse does the highest amount of damage and also deals weak point damage.
Steed Charge has less damage but also a lower cooldown with good stagger ability.
Winged Spirit
is the less common, namely used with the Charming relic set.
Overflow's Playstyle
Summoner could be broken down into optimizing within your self buffs from Sticky Moss Swamp,
Shurdi and
Elcid while managing your Ancient and Pet summons. It's easier said that done as your rotation
can also change depending on what skills you end up taking. There's also animation cancels on
Ancient Spear that
are crucial to learn if you want to maximize your DPS. With a duration of 5.0 seconds, you can fit
two non-Pet skills within
Sticky Moss Swamp and/or
Elcid's buff window.
Shurdi
grants additional Critical Rate while active and is used off cooldown for full uptime.
Regardless of your build, you can follow a set opener using
Kelsion serving as a cancel for
Ancient Spear:
- Use
Shurdi,
Maririn &
Pauru first. Getting these rolling on cooldown is a priority given their long cooldown times.
- Apply your self buff and Synergy with
Sticky Moss Swamp. If you have
Steed Charge, you'll use it after this skill.
- Cast
Water Elemental and rebuff with
Elcid followed by
Ancient Spear.
- While casting
Ancient Spear, use your pet's active skills and cancel the animation with
Kelsion.
Afterwards, you'll have to adjust your rotation depending on what skill selection you chose. Though keep in mind that while there are "rotations", it's heavily dependent on what gems and level tripods you have available. The following below assume you have sufficient level tripods and gems to perform this. Always test in Trixion yourself and see what you can do to adjust if necessary!
Earth Collapse
- Use
Shurdi,
Maririn &
Pauru first. Getting these rolling on cooldown is a priority given their long cooldown times.
- Use the Ancient
Akir before
Sticky Moss Swamp, the damage will be snapshot under the buff.
- Apply your self buff and Synergy with
Sticky Moss Swamp.
- Cast
Water Elemental and rebuff with
Elcid followed by
Ancient Spear.
- While casting
Ancient Spear cancel the animation with
Earth Collapse.
- Always use your pet's active skills as they come up off cooldown.
Your Ancients, like Alimaji, can also cancel
Ancient Spear and has a low orb cost.
You want to prioritize
Akir inside your buff windows.
Steed Charge
- Use
Shurdi,
Maririn &
Pauru first. Getting these rolling on cooldown is a priority given their long cooldown times.
- Apply your self buff and Synergy with
Sticky Moss Swamp followed by
Steed Charge.
- Cast
Water Elemental and rebuff with
Elcid followed by
Ancient Spear.
- Cancel
Ancient Spear with Alimaji.
- Loop the skills again starting from
Sticky Moss Swamp. Be sure to use pet actives as they come up.
Out of the three, this one is very easy to perform and doesn't require max level tripods.
At least level 3 or 4 is recommended to ensure that nothing hard clips and you're stuck for a second or two doing nothing.
With higher level tripods and gems you could reverse Steed Charge and
Ancient Spear's position, coupling the
latter with
Sticky Moss Swamp. In theory this does allow you to use
Ancient Spear on cooldown.
It's far tighter and drifting
Ancient Spear causing a desync in your rotation, negating any increase in damage this would have offered.
Winged Spirit
- Use
Shurdi,
Maririn &
Pauru first. Getting these rolling on cooldown is a priority given their long cooldown times.
- Apply your self buff and Synergy with
Sticky Moss Swamp followed by
Water Elemental.
- Start casting
Ancient Spear and cancel it by tapping
Winged Spirit.
- Use Phoenix and
Elcid. While under the buff, fully hold
Winged Spirit
- Be sure to use pet actives as they come off cooldown, fitting them inside buff windows.
The above does assume you're building with the Charming relic set and are not taking
Master Summoner, as it'll change Phoenix to just be a singular hit.
