Fixing some issue's with the arcanist/summoner - Sakura's prospective

[SakuraMacpherson1]

After playing summoner 1-50 and some end game contact as well as pvp I can surely state this is what i believe should be done in the future.

Ramuh,Shiva, Levithan added with 8 abilitys unqiue to there element - however this would mean additional questline and you have to defeat the primals before getting these summoning jewels

2 New Abilities and 2 new passives

Ruin III
Casttime: 2.50
recasttime - 5.00
Damage. 120
Mana cost: 80-100
Paralyzis 30 seconds

Fester II - Damage's All 100 potency and deals additonal 140 potency if the target is suffering from Bio 1 Bio 2 or Mesma

Improved Enegry Drain II - Damage Dealt by this spell also Heals the summoner

Improved Virus - Duration of Virus is increased by 40 seconds

Improved Abilities

Ruin 1 - now has additional effect of silence this last for 12 seconds and 6 seconds in pvp

Improved
Tri Disaster - Deals 100 potency to all targets hit and binds them (Damage does not caused by You! and you alone does not break this bind)
Bind Duration 12 seconds pvp 6 seconds

Miasma II - Deals Unaspected damage a with potency of 45-50 to all nearby targets
Additional Effect: Disease, HP Down Duration 30 seconds
Symtoms: Reduces HP and HP Recovery by 40% and inflicts 50% heavy

Shadow Flare - Potency is increased by from 25 too 50% to all enemies within feild and slow is increased to 20%

Enkindled - recast time is reduced by 120 seconds. so now its at 180 instead of 300

this what i feel should be adding rebalicing the summoner the rest seems fine

Um can we say completely unbalanced here? 30 sec paralysis on ruin III, goodbye balance. Increasing virus to last 50 secs will make the devs have to tune all the fights they make to take this into account. Summoner having a silence is really a big no no, too much power in one class then. Miasma II, max hp down, far too powerful. Also the healing reduction on the miasma spells have already been nerfed, they arent going to increase them again. 20% slow on shadowflare is far to powerful and broken.

These suggestions do not "balance" summoner, they just make it far too overpowered.

No thankyou.

they dont do enough damage! for aoe spells they suck


Ruin 1 has 2.50 cast time and has global cool-down shared deals hardly no damage its crap. so what you get silenced 6 seconds its not enough to kill.

Ruin III has a recast time watch is double that of ruin. aka cool-down ya paralyze is great but as far personally damage summoner doesnt have much for them

Virus: Sucks it has 9 second timer on placed on enemy that doesnt help at all

Tri-disaster/Shadow Flare/enkindled - suck totally dont do enough damage to even be worthy of casting. i

Maisma 1 already does what Miasma II does. only difference is Miasma is point-blank ranged aoe. (watch sucks mind you)

Tri-disaster is worst spell in the game. it does same thing blizzard does and blizzard is cheeper.

You do realise that for sustained damage, summoner is one of the most powerful classes in the game? If you want burst damage and huge aoe, play blm. Virus is exceptionally powerful, i am guessing since you think its crap you dont raid. Shadow flare is worth casting, it is a DoT, summoners specialise in DoTs. Usually Miasma 2 is the one that you dont bother casting unless you are hitting multiple targets, have raging strikes up, can use contagion after, or a mixture of those 3. Ruin I is what you cast once your DoTs are up and dont need to refresh them at that point in time. Summoner is not about big flashy numbers and showy spells. Your suggestions are still completely unbalanced sadly.

When everyone thinks Summoner their 1st thought is a job that summons powerful gods, demons and spirits to fight on their behalf and reduce their enemies to ash not slowly poison them to death. Summoner's have very little to do with Dots and should focus on summoning magic.
