Finding it laughable, that we've arrived at another round of blatant power balance issues and I see a lot of median tier players chirping in about *perceived* job difficulty and trying to leverage that as a justification for the current state of balance. Absolutely moronic.

Summoner is clearly overperforming right now and implying it is not is mindless. Not only does it currently outperform its closest competitor, Black Mage, in both rDPS and utility in all percentiles but the absolute highest, it really has pushed the third wheel in the Caster role close to redundancy (reference). I would go as far as to say that Red Mage, as a result, is the worst job in the game. Not because it does the lowest rDPS, the ranged do, but because of the fact that its direct competitors far outclass the job by miles.

Caster Balance is a mess.
