Summoner Over-Nered (and A few other Problems)

[Ariomi]

The Machinist being so low concerns me as well. Is that a result of raid utility focus, another case of over nerfing, or a player having a bad time? If raid utility is the focus, that could explain SAMs sky high DPS as they have no raid utility at all.

On that note,

Samurai's dps is their utility at this point.

Summoner's are meanwhile out damaged and don't have arguably as much utility as say red mage. Using dual cast, Red mage can almost instantly rez/heal anyone. Red mage just hard casts Vercure the insta-casts raise on whoever.

If Summoner was meant to buff everyone's damage, they really should have made radiant shield ( 2% damage increase for maximum 24 seconds) or contagion (10% magic debuff for 15 seconds... one second too short for dreadwyrm...) more significant. Ninja get's trick attack which is 10% damage of all damage for 10 seconds every 60 seconds with same cooldown as radiant shield and contagion.
