SMN...and SCH broken

[CecMiller]

Snip.

And as said, an good RDM suffers a lot more than a good SMN in that fight, depending on stuns and mechanics.

Well lets put something to bed:
Top 100 parses Susano EX:
BLM: 3299-4295 DPS
SMN: 3344-3922 DPS
RDM: 3701-4200 DPS

Guess all those summoners must be real bad at the class. I told you SMN does worse than susano EX and the logs just prove me right. RDM needs nerfs or SMN needs some changes to help it do better. Those saying summoner is overpowered in this thread have no clue what they're talking about.

No amount of proof is good enough for these people. As long as they like the way the class plays, SMN can parse however it wants and they won't care, so long as a theoretical target dummy says SMN does the most of casters. What good is theory if it's never put into practice?

And practice says you're right. I don't care how people feel about the class. There's absolutely no reason a class should do more damage than another in that role when it has more utility and is easier to play.

If you like how it plays, good for you. But SMN is clearly inferior, and no amount of "but Bahamut" is changing that. The class needs to be properly rewarded for its difficulty.
