All Melee have a one-shot ability that hits for 3.8k minimum. Yet DoT specs have "absurdly high burst". I feel like I'm in Bizarro world.Quote:

02-10-2015, 05:19 PMHouston009SMN's raw damage was untouched with the "Nerf", which shortened EVERY JOB's CC. Only thing that got nerfed was swiftcast, however SMN just needs the dot to be on you. It's painfully clear that you didn't experience high-end PvP.Quote:

I've been asking you to tell me how well MELEE LB COORDINATION (JUST THEM) is compared to CASTER LB COORDINATION. <.< -

How can you not understand how good SMN burst is? like if you sit down and do the math you can do 300 + 80 +150 + 80 potency in about 4-5 seconds and that's not counting the pet's damage which is another 100 potency. I would say thanks to the damage buff BLM beats out SMN in burst due to firestarter and phantom dart but SMN still has a hefty single target burst. even if you don't kill they're stuck with disease to recover from and dots still ticking.
