I'm glad they finally made Summoners a real DOT DPS, it took a yr to fix them but thank you yoshi and devs for fixing them. Their new abilities is amazing and at times can par with BLM. The new abilities made them more versatile and not be restricted by positional or stationary via use of Tri-disaster, which hinders their damage output unlike the BLM enochain which is quite troublesome as of now. I find myself often switching pets from ruda to ifrit. Ruda for normal mobs and ifrit for single target coz the shield dmg return is nice now compare to 1.0-2.0 ver. It seems now SMN feels more of AOE damager as a crowd controller and BLM single target damager which IMO should be. But its early to judge until Alex comes out for real testing.
