Can someone give me an in-depth explanation why Summoner is arguably the worst DPS?

[Xisin]

you guys harping on the complexity of summoner is funny. Monk plays pretty smoothly, prob more smooth than any other class, it sorta just flows and is very, very logical, you just have to read tooltips.

Casting ruin 2/sc shadowflare before you fester/pet buff isn't rocket science, nor is maintaining 3-5 dots. (bio, bio 2, miasma, miasma 2, shadow flare.) though I'd imagine that with current mp standards miasma 2 is out of the question. I will give it to you that summoner doesn't flow nearly as well as say monk and its flow of play reminds me more of nin than anything else. Summoner has next to no casting implications if played properly... sorry, mobility is a thing for you guys. and no, saying that X has a higher skill ceiling than Y means that X should do more damage is a bad design philosophy. Have you played League of Legends? if so how do you feel about Shaco being garbage in high play as opposed to say Jax for a bit?

Since we're talking about skill ceilings lets talk about skill floors, lets go with a bad blm on t11 just for giggles. Do you think a lower skill floor warrants a higher skill ceiling? vice versa? whats your philosophy on that?



Stop with the subjective crap, Cause the only way to argue it is, dismissing as subjective, or bringing up subjective crap of your own.
