6.0 Summoner: Thoughts on an Unsuccessful Rework After 1 Month of Gameplay

[Mondschnee]

I think comparing Vercure to the Phoenix heal doesn't work as you have Phoenix only every two minutes. I've been in countless situations where it did absolutely nothing as everybody was in full health, where as you can use Vercure whenever you want and you can keep a tank or yourself long enough to chain raise the healers and they handle the rest. Just do Vercure > Verraise > Vercure > Verraise > Vercure and so on. It's more useful than what SMN has on every level.

In my personal opinion, SMN should do more damage, however I don't want to get that "for free". I want more buttons to press and more cast times to earn myself that. As many people have said before, SMN right now is a good foundation, but we're at level 90. There should be at least some kind of complexity involved that makes the job engaging and rewarding when playing.

I still play SMN because I can't let go but it really doesn't satisfy me. Not even my summons make me proud as they're nothing but aesthetics and deep down I can't overlook that.

Same but I only use it for dungeons every now and then. Mainly when I'm tired and want to go smooth brain and not think about anything. It's my autopilot class now

People can say summoner has Physick, costs less, can be cast faster and has a higher heal potency... Too bad it does not scale with INT which is summoners main stat... I just do not understand this ability for summoner at all. They should really re-think this ability too. Why is it there and what is its purpose. Cause ATM its a button I only use in low level dungeons in crisis and that's it.

This is such a ridiculous take on the subject.

Nobody should be using vercure for any reason when there's an enemy targetable. It's a GCD that does zero damage and as a DPS that is unacceptable to use. Comparing it to Phoenix heal is a huge joke, Phoenix heal is something that happens incidentally while simply performing your normal damage rotation on Summoner, but vercure use reduces RDM GCD damage output to zero. Phoenix heal is far more useful than vercure will ever be.
