Connecting the DoTs: A Summoner Guide

[Priya]

I don't mind fewer dots or more ruin spam. In fact, I like less dots, but I do think ruin 1 should disappear forever. But why on earth is summoner so punishing now? If you make one Aetherflow mistake, you're hurt for a very long time afterward. If your pet dies, you better not have swift cast on CD or that's going to punish you too. The redesign doesn't feel like it matches their plan of lowering the skill floor at all; be perfection or be nothing.

They're probably going to correct this at a later date. We're one of the only dps ranged classes whose max damage depends on our stacks, which aren't available to us without aetherflow which is still on a 60 second cd. Hurting us for that long because of one mistake is just bizzare for a class that already has to manage more than the other ranged.
