Summoners useless in 24mans?

He means debuff on the any particular enemy is capped. Let's say that there are 10 summoners and they all place up those 3 dots. The enemy now has 30 debuffs on it, if say a dragoon runs up and places his increased piercing damage and his own dot on the enemy, two dots will just fall off the enemy.

Do you expect a lot of 24 man parties to contain 10 Summoners?

The good ol' times of vanilla WoW and 8 debuff limit in 40-man raids. Or was it 16? But yeah anyway, 30 is too low for 24-mans.

No, but the problem here is that you will run out of slots on any balanced combination against a single enemy before everyone gets to place their debuffs they need to do their job properly, and using a fourth Summoner just because you happen to have four is going to make it even worse.

Obviously not a real life scenario. I wasn't even complaining, I was only offering an explanation so the people asking before my post about how they didn't understand what the OP was talking about.

When you offer explanations you try to avoid being overly complicated, simple gets the point across better. Which I did.
