SB SMN: Bio and Bio II?

[Silverquick]

Well I didnt' have much time to test it out this morning, but did to an initial examination...

Its worse than that...

Ruin 3 is mega nerfed. It went from 2800-3000 damage outside of Trance (3000-3300 inside trance)....

down to 2000-2200 outside of Trance.

Tri-Disaster per tick used to be 1800 per tick... with a high ticks of 2200....

down to 1000-1100 per tick.

I thought with Maim and Mend with +40% pet damage might make this up... but it can't even do that.

Ifrit was hitting for about 880-900 prior.... still only doing 990 damage.

Garuda was hitting for 1100-1200 prior... still only doing 1300 damage.

So nothing balanced out.

Summoner got mega nerfed

EDIT: That's at level 60 with i270 gear.

Wasn't the rebalance based on the level 70 experience?

They'd be far from the first MMO to throw out balance at the old level cap with an eye toward how things are at the new level cap.

I checked Maim and Mend II, its only +30% now. Not the +40 percent I thought it would be too.

I honestly at this point don't even know if SMN will be able to perform properly through earlier level content.

That was only my initial testing.

I promised I would stick it out until launch to see if this really was the case...

I see now... it was the case... this is a major nerf...

I can confirm that once you level sync, ability switches automatically from Bio II to Bio. No need to put both on hotbar.

Hmm would be interessting if this auto-downscale (in general) also works in macros or if you have to put both (or all) of them into it with kinda of "if-than" tag... : o
