People talk really bad about Summoners. But if you really take the time to learn their incredible utilities, You can pretty much solo almost anything. Summoners are very effective if you know how to really play them.
@Coffee BnS: Will we be able on the website in the future to be able to click on people to get a general idea of their weapons / gems / soul shield pieces individually? Fantastic site. Thank you very much!
+Kitah H No way to look at individual soul shield pieces and gems atm right now. The weapon you can see and it says the name of it up on the character sheet though. It's pulling it straight from the character sheet atm.
Small question, is it always better to go sunflower versus Tier 2 Move 3 Rumble bee's? It does decent damage (less then sunflower). I use it to help myself focus a bit more on the fight simply so I don't have to ani cancel, I can just hold right click and focus on my team.
Hello , I have a problem concerning weaving LMB and RBM. I was wondering what your ping was? Mine is 70 and I'm having a hard time keeping myself on track with the animation cancel timing and for when sunflower comes back up. Unless I leave my finger on RMB and manually weave LBM with T , I can't seem to be able to achieve the speed you have when animation canceling or spamming super sunflower in overflow mode. I use LBM(T) and RMB(right mouse button). Do you have a different setup? I use a Logitech G600, it has macro but I don't want to resort to that as it's against the rules anyway. I would really love a reply concerning that, it has been bugging me for a long time now. Thanks!
+Marie-Pier Laflamme (Mariester) I believe mine is around 100 (I am in San Diego, CA, servers are in Texas I believe.) I have my LMB bound to T and my RMB bound to R. Depending on the direction I am moving sometimes I will be weaving LMB + R and othertimes LMB + RMB and when I hit overload I am usually spamming R + RMB. Figure out what works best for you, mainly I was trying to avoid hand fatigue.

Hey coffee bns : ) i need some help.. how can i get the techniques to upgrade my sunflower skill to the last tree part? and the other techniques you have acquired? thanks.
+Jin Most important one you want to get is the one from 4500(or 5k if you don't have premium) Zen Beans. It is the Royal Zen Bean and you have to purchase it and eat it. After that, get your Hongmoon Pill for your LMB, that costs ~60g and you have to join a clan and/or be in a clan for it.
will the focus recovery be easier at higher levels of your hongmoon staff from the weapon's focus recovery effect? right now im lvl 20ish and im finding it hard to stack 5x of photosynthesis since im finding it hard to keep up with my stacks and focus at the same time.
+TheUnderPantsMan101 It becomes much easier as you get more skill points, having the extra point in Rosethorn as well as having better gear so you crit more (2 focus per crit instead of 1), (4 focus instead of 1 once you have LMB HM skill as well). At lower levels you don't need to overload as much, but you'll start to notice it happening more and more as you level up.
+Coffee BnS yea i figure out how to get the stacks. I'm assuming the cat has to tank in order to avoid cc's from boss using crouching tiger to not screw up the stacks? Inbeetween nettles and doom n bloom CD do you just spam auto and make sure focus is at 100% for the next rotation?
dud nice vid!! :) Q: what is c+2 combo? what does it do? When I "c" a boss it doesnt work, so should i "c" then "2" so "tab-pin down" will activate? Thanks!
+Sky Tan Spec hammer (C) for daze (right tree) and spec your Thorn strike (2) in far right tree which will give you daze. Then, if you use C and 2 you will apply two dazes on boss which allows you to pin it with your cat.
Um i've been trying this and I use grasping roots 50% of the time it doesn't let me use the nettles F just casts doom and bloom and I have to use them after that, not sure if it's a problem with the game
Same here. Nettles only appears after i cast doom n bloom on F. Alternatively though, cast doom n bloom first so while thats still CD use roots/weed whack + nettles.
grasping/doom are the only two skills that activates nettles, however there are some boss at some instances that can resist grasping roots, hence failing at using nettles right after "wasting" the grasping roots. for example you cant use grasping on a charging boss? or a boss that has immunity against speed drain and block approaching skills etc.
I use weed whack for pure singe target fights. Weed Wack will put poison ivy on your target and till always trigger flying nettles for the simple fact most bosses can't be snared by the grasping roots.
+Greed Absolutely Greed, I have a queue of vids that I need to do first (Making money at max level), but I will definitely get one of these created afterwards as well.
+Dailos Pérez Not that simple, need to maximize your up time of Poison to keep getting overload stacks as well as keep the boss taunted / CCed to keep them off of you.

Great explanation. Going to point anybody asking about this your way. Thanks!

Just wanted to say i really appreciate your guides. It has been really helpful in getting my rotation down and putting out more dps. :)
What is the best gems for a summoner?
Are*
+EnderKun oki ? Sorry for my bad english. Should not ask you any more if you bothered by that I wrote wrong
+Oldboy Attack Power Diamond, Crit / Invuln Peridot, Additional Damage Ruby, Life Drain Amethyst.
Kinda off-topic but what's the music playing in the background?
Also, both of your guides for summoner are good. ^^

Thanks for this vid. There's some good info I can put some practice in with, for sure!
this is so beyond helpful, thank you so much!!
How do you dodge as a summoner?

Thanks for the video. Do you bind LMB + RMB to any keys? I find my hand gets tired sometimes when spamming RB for sunflower

How fast you got THAT Super Sunflower skill?
Only work if I have tier 5 super sunflower?
I have a question, what weapon were you using when you made this video? I think your damage is really high =)
+Shinn Zhang True Siren 10. My damage is even higher now with maxed gear outside of gems hah :D

where i found the sunflower from roual zen bean/cant found it
+emi emi You can purchase it from the Dragon Trader Express straight from your inventory.

sometimes during your photosynthesis you use lmb + rmb and other times just rmb. Could you explain why and when you do it one way or the other?
+mathardo It should always be just RMB during photosynthesis most likely it's just me being tired and not doing the rotation properly.
Thanks for all these great videos! Helps my growing summoner =) following
Oh my god this is awesome dude o_0
Gonna test it out on my summoner aswell :D
Is the pellet for the HM skill rosethorn worth it? I see one that lets you use flower with no cost. Is that good?
+Natasha P Yes! Best upgrade you can get!
we need 2017 videos! I cant find any good ones!
Subscribed, thanks for this guide. i'm new to this game. (5 days old ^_^ )
dud nice vid!! :)

Hello! Does it lose tons of damage if you mix in rose thorn during overflow?
+SniperGaming Not a ton, but you do lose damage.
+Coffee BnS thankyou!

What's your outfit btw ?
+MarcoTheDwarf I believe he's using Regium Corvus. It was the previous daily spin's completion reward.
Rayna Wan Yes exact ty ! I'm in Europe our outfit is so bad... >
+MarcoTheDwarf Ah I see ~ EU doesn't have the same outfits as NA?
Rayna Wan No :s
can you give me a guide for skill that start at level 15
+Greed Absolutely Greed, I have a queue of vids that I need to do first (Making money at max level), but I will definitely get one of these created afterwards as well.

+Tore Power The full skill tree is in the comments of the video.
goo.gl/KWY6SM
this is for Lvl45.
thanks this helped me a lot :)
RB- LB- F, spam solo combo?
+Dailos Pérez Not that simple, need to maximize your up time of Poison to keep getting overload stacks as well as keep the boss taunted / CCed to keep them off of you.
+Coffee BnS I could say the rotation of the full combo that used to PvE and PvP?
ty so much ✌
I can only spam eight super sunflower because my ping is hight (140)
but its ok , thx c:
you lost the focus fast
"Not the easiest to master" LOL says a summoner. This class is so stupid easy. Good job though!
Now I main one, how ironic.
