Summoner and the upcoming changes

[Brinzy]

Nobody's asking you to agree on anything. I responded to a person who said they were never concerned with numbers and felt some type of way about the class design itself. I agreed with them. What does that have to do with people who like it?

[Neela]

wasnt pointing on you more in general Cec f.e said all veterans are like "buuuuh" and just the newbies are like "yaaay" - im playing smn in raids/pve/pvp since years and still feels "yaaay" - everyone to his/her own likings : /

Oh ok - it just came right after my post and was relevant so I assumed

I'm probably echoing what others have said, but the pet AI, response time, and health management really needs to be improved and modified.

I move one foot and Bahamut egi is trailing behind me like an old man moving so slowly. Don't his attacks have a 100 yard range? Stay still unless the enemy is out of range.

I had an instance where Ifrit-egi got obliterated by a close range aoe marker just as I used Summon Bahamut and I got the floating text "Summon Bahamut dodged."

That seems like it would make me even more suicidal than missing a Deathflare in 3.x

I laughed at this way harder than I should've. Oh my god I'd be SO MAD.

Summoner is the highest range dps lol - or basically equal to blm but a lot more mobile for encounters with a lot movement SMN should take it.

Maybe that is how summoner is supposed to look, But currently if you have done stone sky sea even a single time as a smn you would know this is false.

Maybe that was Summoner before they took away one of summoner's main spells since forever. Losing that Dot killed a lot of our dps, Maybe that was before they nerfed our strongest damaging spam-able spell (ruin 3) by potency. I'm an ilevel 300 summoner and I can't beat the first stone sky sea dummy no matter what rotation I use

Has anyone been able to clear Stone, Sky, Sea at lower item levels? I'm 291 and against Royal Menagerie, I can't seem to down it, always ending up with about 2% HP left on the dummy, which comes out to estimated 3300 DPS (no potions/food/materia6).

Wondering if I'm doing something wrong but I feel like I'm pushing the class as hard as I can.

I'm ilvl 290 and the best run i did was 5% remaining. (no food, materia or anything used)

It's duoable but i might have to spam ruin 3 to the point where i'm almost oom. But it's kinda flawed since in the actual combat i use the skill to give mp to healers, so i wouldn't be able to perform as good as on the dummy.
Either i'm bad or i need the 300 ivl weapon and some ilvl 300 pieces.

To be honest i'm not sure how you would beat it unless you spam ruin 3 until you're almost OOM. I just went to try it and beat it in 2 attempts at 310 Ilv.

Just hoping for some criticism. I know at one point my DoTs fall off for 2 seconds, was a little panicked due to my low mana, though I somehow ended up doing 150 more than my previous attempt anyway.

I like bahamut and all, but I miss being able to use aetherflow during DWT to keep the cooldown qued, kinda feels like its what SMN really needs right now to keep Bahamuts coming faster. If I had to give any feedback to the dev team it would be either to let us Aetherflow during DWT again, or reduce Aetherflows c/d by 10-15 seconds at least to make up for time lost being locked out during DWT.
