Summoner is doing too much in 5.10

I'm sure it shows.

Jab aside, the issue came from SMN being so heavily outclassed by BLM that the caster slot was no-contest going to BLM. It feels really s*** when your job is so heavily outclassed that you are half-trolling if you bring it. Believe me, I played BLM in Deltascape. I know the feeling. Sure, in casual content land that thought probably doesn't cross your mind. But the fact of the matter is that doing 1k+ more DPS made clearing drastically easier. It's like you passively use a Melee LB3 because you switched a job stone. That's not an ok balance situation. That's hopefully been fixed with 5.1. But ya. People weren't ok with the HUGE balance discrepancy. No one should be.

Thankfully, with the exception of RDM (and MNK) not giving a benefit to BLMs, it is possible to run a double caster comp and be viable in all content. The devs just need to fix that, fix balance on RDPS (assuming it wasn't fixed already), and then it won't be a "caster slot" so much as "melee, dps, caster, greedy."

Tangential, yes, thought about mentioning it anyways.
