Huge SMN nerf: we're losing Thunder

[Rochetm]

Yeah losing thunder must suck for one the of the top DPS classes with some of the best support you can get in the game.

right, you know that our Virus will be nerfed too? If a BLM decides to use Virus, we're pretty much useless.
You also know that our bane gets a secret nerf too? it was supposed to hit all targets from the get go and now it won't even reset "contagioned" dots anymore - making summoner's bane not better than a SCH one.
AoE-binding utility paired with ground aoes + dots is also not an option anymore. I can see that being a nerf due to PvP honestly..

And honestly that Blizzard bind duration + makes Tri disaster even more useless, it does more damage for pretty much the same thing!

Inb4 Eye for an Eye nerf, I see it comming

Don't forget that SMN AREN'T ALLOWED TO WEAR SHOES ANYMORE EITHER.

I just hope all of the people crying so hard over this have at least enough integrity to move on to another job.

Already geared BLM, still sad about the allagan shoes change, but yeah I'll be using SMN for T4 only since we cannot seem to immobilize the soldiers with 2 BLMs, I think it may requires a certain amount of hit/time to stun them which DoT do nicely and would be consistent with FFXIII version where you had to spam them to get them immobilized.

Yeah, don't forget about that one though: "When multiple characters are playing the same class/job in a party, the gauge for level 2 and level 3 limit breaks will now fill more slowly than before."

Yeah I noted that extra nuisance, I don't know how slower it will be, I guess they did that more for 2 PLD setup, but it may influence what I have to play in some instances indeed.
