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

[Xisin]

I actually did mention the eye for an eye and blm circumstances, skim reading is bad. smn get 33% more uptime on e4e, it's quite nice.


smn mobility doesn't infer using ruin 2, losing 300 damagish isnt that big of a deal on a movement its far far less of a deal than losing 1100 damage

I'll make a list to make things a bit clearer:

SMN utility:

* unique dps Resurrect (I can argue my apoc doesn't matter anymore too, cause well I don't have to use it in my static... at all, but shit happens so I do.)

*70-80% dps uptime on cc lock (SMN UNIQUE utility btw) this includes, blue orbs, titan goals, twintania blues, ramuh tethers + stun, leviathan dives, turn 8 missles, turn 7 shreik... you get it the list goes on and on and on. I guess you can say schs are capable of this as well.. but yea, not quite the same thing as you are different archetypes , this is pretty much our manaward/wall usage... almost... different but equal... well except this doesnt actually have a cooldown and is just the job being the job

* higher mobility, summoners have at worst 70-80% uptime on move and at best 100% I don't see how this is a arguable, it isnt based on rng either... its fairly free range try doing savage 8 for example and hitting snowflakes tower... if I'm bound as blm I sometimes lose my umbral/astral even @.@

* smn eye for an eye is better @ 33% more uptime

* smn virus is better

* pet helps with splitting damage from hits like twintana fireball darnus beam etc

BLM has:

lesser e4e
lesser virus
apoc
manawall/ward
proc movement
aetherial manipulation but ya you can just walk
both jobs have sprint?

the damage difference is not 12% without procs, that was proven wrong

BLM has higher single target and AOE ATM in FCoB, like that alone is too much. Could you please link me a single parse where a SMN could top a BLM on any fight in FCoB? It's just too obvious like lol
EDIT: I forgot to mention that mana issues alone won't solve the problem as it should be. Unless utility is OP that the dps difference will make sense, like the case with bards.
