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

Cattastro, Dev no listen to any of us. Try Japan forum section, maybe they see you there.

1.Not likely to happen. 120 second enkindle would be ready every time spur and rouse is. If 120 seconds, remove spur and rouse, make enkindle 80% stronger.
2. AoE spells have a max of 5 targets affected. Bane affects 4, the one you target and 3 more around it. Effect all enemies be much overpower.
3. Dev no care our opinions, but not a bad suggestion.
4. Why they need more damage reduction? they no tank Bahamut.
5. Overloads hardware and other players computers causing much lag and making many players hate summoner more.

This will not rebalance anything. Dark times ahead if we follow this path.

only SMN's bane has a max of 4 target. All other AOE skills in the game hits all within the radius my friend.

Also lets be honest on anything where it actually matters (IE: Coil. FCoB specifically) you almost never have to worry about the bane limiter. The only current turn which might cap it is T13 when the first Sins spawn, and thats only if your group somehow couldnt burn down a single gust.

The only thing that would affect is Dungeons. Basically uncapping bane, atleast at the moment is totally not needed. It would also make the ability a bit too strong.
