How to bug bomb as Summoner?

[DannyInfect]

Was wanting to be in the middle, i main a Sum, heard of other sums doing bug bomb. How do I bait it and are there any tips?

To see who has the bug bomb: look at the party member list, if a person has a bug bomb, his/her name will light up (like when you draw agro)

If you got bug bomb: get out of the middle and go far away. Go back in the middle after the bomb exploded

 

However: there are times bug bomb would stick on the ground (meaning it didnt land on anyone since no one's name is light up), all 3 people in the middle need to get out otherwise you all will get killed

 

Bug bomb explosion radius is 10m

 

IF there is an FM with you in the middle because bug bomb 99% of the time would go to FM who has their fire orbs up. Therefore, all you need to is pew pew and watch the party member list to see who has it and react accordingly.

 

I wouldn't recommend summoner to stay mid if you are the only summoner (like me in my raid) since you will be needed to revive people.

If there are FM and Gunner with good gear in your group, it's best to let them gets the priority to stay mid due to their high DPS/burst.

 

Just my thoughts.
