Why is Summoner the most ignored, misunderstood and broken job?

So we should start building nuke sets too?

I do have a dark magic build for Aspir/Drain because I was one of the first adopters of /SCH. You should have "Impact" by now as well, but I don't suppose you had anything competent in mind.

That brings us to the interesting question, what ARE you doing for 45 seconds? Mala, he may have the answer as to why SMN is ignored.

Why should I have Impact? Is it that really useful to justify 1/3 my MP pool?(Honest question haven't heard that much about it)
My point of the nuke set was because if we're gearing for weak melee why not weak nukes, I have one or two pieces for Drain/Aspir and Sleep. But that's it and I Find I don't use Sleep that much unless something goes wrong Aspir on mobs with mp(which isn't that often idk I just don't find myself fighting mobs with mp for some reason) Drain I use alot to refill my hp after sublimation for cheap. none of this really warrants stretching my already quite full backpack with a nuking set to squeeze an extra 50 damage on spaming my tier II /SCH nukes just like meleeing for mp doesn't really justify building a set for it when i can manage my mp in ways that don't put me in danger of repeated KOs.

I wouldn't call it 45 secs, if I'm in a party i'm spamming a 70 or 75 pact keeping hastega up full time and ATLEAST one other party buff so with pet swapping/positioning and doing my best to be ready to support the party in any way that pops up be it sub heals or an extra sleep etc. I manage to keep quite busy in a party making my 45 downtime a fair bit less.
