Summoner and the upcoming changes

[Okamimaru]

Everyone focuses on one class or one role with this expansion... when you look at everything as a whole its pretty clear they want to break up the current meta... tanks are more tank focused, healers are more heal focused and dps are losing damage buffs and aoe potency.... no more grabbing a whole dungeon and just popping some self heals while everyone aoe Dps the mobs to ash.... which I'm fine with...

BLM AoE got buffed to all hell - also so did NIN's, no?

SMN also got massive ST nerfs by all appearances. That said, I am reserving judgement untl release to see how it all pans out. I do trust the devs ability to balance, but I have my concerns after seeing casters and healers (SMN/WHM) previews.

Ninja's was only slightly. Death Blossom and Katon are the same they've been. Poison now effects katon, so there's that. And they added in the frog summon. Which, requires 80 ninki and that takes a while to get.

I have yet to be disappointed with the changes. I think it will be just fine. Afterall we didnt get whitemaged. I imagine our Bio and Bio2 potency are now combined to a instant cast more powerful one so. Stay positive. remember bahamut clones our skills we use with Autos. . Do i here Astro casting speed cards coming while Bahamut is up for tons of DPS?

So basically they're trying to make everything take longer to do and draw out the expansion. Got it.

Don't worry ill pull the entire dungeon anyways, i got this shield i didn't ask for so may aswell use it. On subject SMN seems fine i think the added pet dps made up for the dot loses in a real fight remember you have you cast times and movement pets are always attacking so there dps uptime is greater then yours etc etc.
