SMN - Most Glaring Issues

[Ariomi]

Talking raw potency is pretty meaningless with summoner cause of summons. Ninja can have all the 400 potency skills but no way in hell will outDPS me on actual pulls in dungeons. BLM will probably do a little more damage but it seems like what SE wants. You people seem never to consider how easy it is to make SMN super OP, unnerf ruin 3 and bane how they were and we'll have the most damage both on ST and AOE. With 2 utility buffs and resurrection. I want ahk morn to be actual 680 potency from my stats too lol But eh whatever. We'll see how smn performs in savage content soon.

The actual dps gap between summoner and say red mage is pretty high... Not even sure that would be enough. I hope O2S is fun.

Certainly not aoe dps. ST gap is there but it seems to me it's that big more cause of player skill. If I farm ex primals usually my dps is on par with RDMs(usually higher probably), without food, potions or a lot of ST balances lol. So I personally think even aetherflow fix will add decent amount of dps to summoner. But probably won't make it easier for less skilled players to play smn better. Like... I saw 2.5k dps summoner while I farmed, then he changed to rdm and started doing 3k+ probably like 3,5k. It was pretty amusing.
All that is a problem obviously. Not sure what they expected with all that changes to summoner lol. I'm really interested what they'll do in 4.05(probably nothing or nerf us even more haha)

You ever consider that Square Enix looks at you outdpsing the Red Mage and goes: "Welp, Time to hit them with the nerf bat!"

Or do you think it's more like: "Oh it's Tuesday! Better Nerf Summoner!"

Hehe more like the 2nd one. I get a feeling that they hate summoners for a while now haha.
Anyway I dunno how can they balance and test jobs to came to a conclusion that SMNs are fine and ready to release.
It seems that they were cautious of bahamut giving us too much dps(which it does). But now when we see that most summoners underperform maybe they will boost ruin3 potency somewhat? I hope... at least...
