Foe helps a bit with summoner but it helps most with black mage. The bigger the damage, the more the 10/20% adds.

Except that SMN is the bigger damage of the two, unless you're talking about large group AOE.

I said burst damage.

Summoner does bigger numbers but lower burst dps. Even if you dot and fester 3 times, it won't match the damage output of barrage, bloodletters and all those cooldowns. But that damage for Bard only lasts for a few seconds and it's not convenient to wait for all the cooldowns for it. So it's something Bard can only do at the very start of the battle.

Huh, what? No, I was specifically responding to your claim that Foe helps BLM more than SMN because BLM has bigger numbers, which is false all around unless dealing with large group AOE. That's why I quoted the sentence I did. >_>
