Summoner Fixing The Egis

Giving Egis even remotely potent dots would bring us back up to the level of dps we had with thunder available. They took thunder away because we're already the strongest.

I vote Egi DPS increase. Then we'll see 3 SMN raid teams. Who wouldn't want to see infinite dots on the boss?

And you forget that they took bane away also, Its better SE made a new class of it rather take away spells and ability as of now they could have gave the DoT to any other class in the future and not take that away O.o
I still believe most of the damage should come from the EGI side. Kind of pointless having egi for few extra damage.

No that would destroy the Summoner I'd rather keep the Egis and make Summoning EX Primals an additional Summoner skill when the lvl cap us raised.

There aren't going to be any changes to the Egis until the level cap is raised so it won't destroy balance because other classes will get new abilities and buffs anyways adding one new ability to the Egis will only increase damage by 20% which would put the Summoner back to where it was when it had thunder.

Doubtful even when we had thunder Raid Teams were not stacking Summoner.

They never took bane away, all they did was phrase the ability description correctly, it would always bane 3 mobs, if anything they made it a bit better, by preventing dots to be replaced with a lower duration from using bane, and increasing the range.

I think It would have been better for them to make a new class for that DoT rather having it on the SMN.

People didn't know back then SMN was best DPS, so that's why. Now they know.

Bane functions the same as it has since day 1. Infact it's been buffed with an increased radius.

This will never happen. Never. Stop repeating it.
