I think Summoners are fine.

Doesn't change that DoTs are still ticking for 400+ damage and then your pet hitting for 150+...that's about 550 damage every 3 seconds AND not to mention fester/ruin during times you don't need to reapply. Those numbers alone should tell you how strong summoners are and that no one can match them in DPS

Your (or anyone else's for that matter) dots are not ticking at 400+ without benefiting from CDs or a outside factor. To even get close to that would have to count raging strikes or crit, possibly have miasma 2 thrown in either way. Just to get a sense of how outside anyone is hitting for 400 damage/3 seconds on dots, you'd have to use Bio, Bio 2, Miasma, Miasma 2 and get some good crits. While it doesn't count particularly the same, you can shadowflare to easily put you over the top. However, its just not sustainable. Going out with a normal rotations of 4 dots, ruin, fester, would expel your mana pool in 3 minutes. If you simply change that to ruin 2, you'd lose all your mana in 2 minutes. Adding rotations of miasma 2 is wildly inefficient and while shadow flare is just wasteful with any bosses that tend to move around a lot.

I only need 1/4 of my DoTs to crit for the tick every 3s to hit for ~380-390. That's without miasma II. RS I was seeing crits of 500-510~. This is without Relic+1.

It is sustainable with a BRD.

And your crit rate is gonna be somewhere around 11 to 12 percent. As I mentioned, you are gonna need miasma 2 and a crit just to hit 400 per tick. No one here, even with a relic +1, is going to be averaging 400 per tick unbuffed without outside influence.

Well, yeah. I never refuted that.

But it's not rare for crits to happen, especially when you have 4 separate instances of being able to crit per 3 seconds. Roughly, every 3s you have a 35% chance for at least one of the 4 DoTs to crit.
