A thought about Bane. What-if it wasn't Aetherflow locked?

Bane has already been nerfed into the ground. If anything it will make the DoTs more consistent in fights kinda like how Rdm and Blm can keep up a consist aoe against mobs at all times.

I see consistently great aoe dps both in 60 and 70 dungeons. Usually on par with BLMs and better than RDMs. Now that you don't need to think about timer of athertrails stacks you can use aetherflow more freely too.

Outside of annoyance of Bane, Death & Demi-Bahamut programming seems to be the jobs only other problems besides that the job is fine.

Yeah it's fine, that's probably why we have several threads here with constant whine about how summoners are weak, aoe is weak, no sustain, weak heals, mp problems, brainless ruin spam, titan egi is useless, all egis are useless etc. nonstop. Cause job is perfectly fine.

Maybe your right. I could see proper planning could give you a consistent steam of DoTs on to mobs that's probably why they need bane so hard.

Smn is definitely not weak and even you said that it's Aoe can be on par with Non and better then Rdm. Sustain should come back, but Smn isn't a healer. I could see Mp being a problem, but even now I spam Ruin 3 outside of DWT, and as soon as I run out Lucid dreaming is off cooldown and ready to use again. To be honest Smn doesn't feel like a ruin spammer, it's more of burst phase job. I remember that titan egi could solo tank ramuh ex when the trial first came out, then they had to nerf Titan, so don't expect an buffs coming to it.
