Fix Sumnmoner

[AreeyaJaidee]

I'm confused. Do you want SMN to be a great single target DPS or a great AoE class? I've been getting signals that you want both. Don't compare to BLM.

Please explain how you could be confused with this. BLM is fast direct DMG aoe and single target plus infinite mp, SMN is damage over time with slow ramps aoe and single target with finite mp.

Due to the pace of battle in most ffxiv encounters, slow ramps are not optimal for the majority of the game. So why have a job that's only optimal in a minority of encounters? SMN needs faster DMG application, the DPS isn't the total issue, its the application and dispersion of damage over time that's the issue combined with some imbalanced mechanics like Garuda being favored for contagion.

Also, what's the point posting in here if all you have to add to the conversation is useless personal bias? Were not here to debate blm, the thread is about smn. There's no reason smn as a caster shouldn't get comparable aoe and single target dps as long as its filling its niche, which is damage over time.
