This whole thread is people just hating on things they've lost to. Unless you're a serious PvPer and playing all the time, you really don't have the experience or knowledge to make a reasonable judgement on the issue.
arcanist is a hybrid class and summoner doesn't change that very much. Again, just because *you* don't like something or think it's unfair doesn't mean it actually is.DPS should not be able to raise others in PvP. Period.
I've seen just as many people telling me after their first time "dont like pvp, its unfair how you can sleep people." Everyone has the oppertunity to obtain the same tools and skills. The only jobs i never hear complaints of being OP on are pld and war. I guess 7 out of 9 jobs must be "OP" then.
Anyway, raising in pvp is not OP. The raised person is a sitting duck for a short time and if you're quick or if the healer is still down, you can just take them right back down again. I have been in double SMN comps and gotten rolled. SMN is just too squishy to call OP. We were literally both taken down at the same time, there was no possibility of rezzing. A SMN and SCH team comp has virtually no defensive capability whatsoever. people keep talking about CC in this thread but get near a SMN for even a second and you can shut them down. the Heavy is not OP, they need it to have any chance of staying alive.
