Why is SMN DPS so high?

[Aguilla]

nothing outdamages blm. and not just any blm, but a blm who knows rotations cannot be beat. smn is fine it doesnt need nerfing at all.

dps = damage per second. you aren't doing 300 damage every second because of the 2.5 second global cooldown.

I think if you spend enough time on the forums you devolve and what you just said starts to make sense. To be honest I'm scared that it might happen to me

So now all should welcome a SMN for the Demon Wall!
or not.

I run Amdapor Keep with a BRD, and we kill the Demon Wall before it spawns flies. I think you're just playing with bad players.
In this particular case, I do much more damage than the BRD, because the encounter is so short that starting with 6 Aetherdams is huge.

You may be right, I play as SCH and my buddy as War. We queue together, and 9/10 we get shit dps-ers that are clueless.
I think it`s time to find a FC or at least 2-3 able DPS-ers.
Will be hard on Shiva.

SMN need instant Miasma and Bio II, and Bane shouldn't cost Aetherflow stack. I'm already 49 Summoner, an see Bards, Black Mages an even White mages spamming Holy output they do put DPS Summoner to Shame on Fate Partys. Kinda Sad to see that.

We only standout on bosses, lol not bad thing

Wait.... huh? Summoner dps being high? Am I dreaming or is this a joke? Sorry but were currently lower tier dps. Others can disagree but most, if not all the other dps classes out dmg us currently. And no dont say bad player. Has to do with skills doing shit dmg, too long of a ramp up time to get our dmg going and lack of pet dmg.

Bad summoners are lower tier damage. I find myself having to use quelling strike sometimes.

your lieing, the wall spawns flies at the next knockback once it at 50%. A BRD with relic +1 and full allagan wouldn't even be able to do that.

biased opinion is biased.

Raging Strikes + Mega-Potion of Intelligence HQ = 1k+ Festers and consistently rotating DoTs. I feel like my DPS is quite high and outshines most classes even if it wasn't the greatest, I have tons of mobility without lost of DPS even with 2.5 cast times. Making sure Spur + Rouse is on a marco together makes maxing garuda even easier in fights, and with echoes I never miss a pop. Not to mention I can help tanks by buffing their defenses and I'm also a excellent battle resser, helping the load that healers have to deal with.

Im pretty new to SMN class, care to share your rotation in order to get that kind of high dps?

[Thotor]

With Amdapor Keep gear and relic weapon, I'm consistently pulling around 250 DPS on all primals. Other classes with similar gear are capping out around 160-180.

FFXIV-App is broken. Don't get your hopes too high.
SMN currently gets all DoTs damage from everyone in the party making them look bigger than what they really are.

Not true, since it is simulating DoTs it is in fact impossible for it to do what you claim it is doing. Gotta love this community tho, when it was not simulating your DoTs everyone was all like "smn sucks brd is top". When it finally simulates our DoTs the community is like "ffxiv-app is broken".
