Please nerf summoner in PvP.

Dotting up in pvp is not that easy as u think if you are talking about 1v1. Once you have dots up, opponent can use purify that and clear all dots. And it is pretty hard cast dots if opponent tunneling you. Even if you cast during surecast or equanimity you can be stunned or silenced or knock backed. Summoner kiting abilities are pretty poor also, you have only swiftcast tri-disaster and garuda knockback with 1½min cd + blizzard 2. And if some little better player see you are using swiftcast they can predict and use fetter ward before you successful cast your bind. Sprint is good against tanks, but other melees can remove it. And even tanks can use sprint + enliven or sprint + tp potion + marauders can use sprint + invigorate. Most effective way 2 do 1v1 is spam energy drain bio and ruin2 + pet rouse spur + endkindle and running around and hope they do not know how 2 use camera lock target, but if they use camera lock, there is no way you can escape. Summoner is good in the frontlines only because they usually get ignored and players usually let them freely cast dots for every living thing.

Of course there are weaknesses, 300+ frontlines games as a summoner should teach me that. However I can almost solo anyone 1vs1 with all my cooldowns up. Monks and marauders are the hardest ones though but it is possible. I'm just saying summoenr has one of the best bursts in the game

RISE FROM YOUR GRAVEEEE

Sorry, I couldn't stay awake.

These are my feelings exactly. Our primary tools, dots, aren't devastating on their own, but are a means to an end. It's just that getting those three dots off can be difficult if we aren't ignored. Since this thread was created, Dragoon was buffed and Ninja was released. A Dragoon that knows what they're doing will stun lock a player and wipe off 2/3rds of their HP before they can react. A Ninja will poof out of nowhere, stun and silence and wipe out 2/3rd of a casters HP. We have to hope and pray to get off three dots. THEE DOTS. That's five seconds of casting. And then hope and pray some more that those dots aren't purified before we can begin doing damage. This is the balance players wanted?

Can't we just let summoner be good at one thing?

... As a monk I'm totally owned facing a double summoner comp, ..

If one monk can take down two summoners, wouldn't the monk be OP. 1 on 2, it would seem that it only makes sense that the 2 wins right? Why not put 4 monks on 2 summoners and see what happens?

I laughed harder than I probably should've at that. Thank you.

I love Smn as it is now. I wasnt playing the game during the time of the Nerf. These nerfs may make sense for Wolves' Den but are they sensible for Frontlines? If I have to deal with the incredible amount of spell interruption that I already face and being stun locked 6+ seconds why shouldn't I and another Smn be able to heavy a Mnk to turtle walking speeds?

[Yukiko]

After reading that i no longer wonder why its mostly 3+ against 1 SMN...
Cant we just have a fair fight?
