Summoners Overpowered in PvP

[TiaHeart]

Smn targets are easy to heal even if they bane ur whole party 1 healer lb and its gone. WAR is the only thing op good def good selfheals good dmg I mean wtf

This and whatever people say about the overall balance, how its "just" the burst etc may be true, but it doesnt help the poor dds that are basically getting one shot in big brawls out of nowhere (without the mentioned heals. Not like you always get a lot of pro healers on your back in soloqeues), lying on the floor. And while you say its only a minute base, so is purification. And theres more than just that one summoner unless you are the dude strayin off on your own. What makes smn seem op is simply how god damn cheap it is
And it doesnt mean other classes arent op. All i see is war and smns, few blm and drk. There are often adders stacked on brd, but thats the moment to be afraid of those 20 win ratios xD

[Guesswhat]

1 thing summoners (and range dps in general) do good is "stealing" kills. In almost every match I'm in, on multiple occasions, the final blow on the target I'm on is some kind of flare. Not that I mind. I'm sure other melee dps have noticed.

Much respect to anyone going melee DPS these cause I've almost given up on them simply because of the SMN issue. You simply don't have enough HP/DEF to survive a xxxFlare burst most of the time-short of wearing VIT accessories. I usually just go DRK, PLD or MCH these days. At least with DRK/PLD I have the DEF CDs to survive, and MCH can zone pretty much everyone even SMNs into oblivion and burst them down with the right CDs up.

Its a shame cause I'd love to personally go MNK or DRG, but its simply not feesible a lot of the time when you have sometimes dozens of SMNs and other ranged DPS stacked on healers.
