Summoner Over-Nered (and A few other Problems)

[Exterium]

No class hits as hard as samurai, although I have been made well aware of bards being able to hit for 25k. Bard's dots also outperform Summoner's. Look at Caustic Bite and Stormbite. 5 and 15 potency per tick higher then both of summoner's dots but bard's get 120 potency on the application.

You "may" hit for 25k if all planets line up and you get a direct hit crit barraged refulgent arrow while under Raging Strikes, that may not happen ever in a 2 hour raid, in fact, I've only seen this ONCE in all my SB bard playtime.

You never reapply your dots, they get refreshed with a 100 potency weaponskill.

I don't talk about what I think, I talk about the data we have at this point, and SMN, besides what this forum seems to think, hits way harder than BRD, at the same lvl as a BLM and harder than a RDM.

EDIT: You seem to be forgetting your third dot, you, and every summoner, your pet is essentially a 110 potency dot with utility.
