Summoner rework is a huge dissapointment

[MrJPtheAssassin]

You're nit-picking the use of the word utility. My point is having a raid buff shouldn't result in a tax on your total damage output because it is part of your damage output - it will definitely lower personal dps though. I don't play Ninja nor do I know why SE balances the way they do. Going by fflogs it looks like Ninja was top in ShB and even in EW it's not far from the top at all, what's the problem? All the melee look very close right now, Ninja isn't being taxed hard.

As for SMN's healing: https://www.fflogs.com/reports/f3PbV...aling&source=7 is one example - 26% overhealing on Everlasting Flight, not bad at all for a hot. Just pick a boss select Summoner and sort by healing for more examples. I haven't been raiding with SMN so I can't speak on boss dmg timings with Phoenix but it's definitely not as useless as people make it out to be.

Magick Barrier doesn't actually heal, its reliant on healers to make use of its utility while SMN is not - Magick Barrier should actually buff SMN's healing.



SMN's heals are absolutely free, you don't choose between an attack or a heal you do both and Phoenix's potencies were buffed so it's overall stronger than Bahamut despite having 1 less attack.

I just say I disagree and I still think buffs are just as much utility as anything else. I also think the devs think this also but who really knows.

As for smn I still think 26% overhealing for a utility is too much. You're right magick barrier does rely on healers that is why you HAVE to talk to your healers and ask them where they want it. Plus it is also free so doesn't cost anything and you get to choose when to use it. So what it relies on healers, still boosts healers heal and that is their job after all to heal and also it reduces magic dam. Healing imo shouldn't be part of a dps job anyway. That is why I think they should delete the casters rezz also since I think that should only be a healers responsibility, not a dps'. At most I think the rez should have a long cooldown for casters. Also, ask any smn about everlasting flight or rekindle they all basically tell you the same, They want the choice to use it and not be part of their rotation. Utility that allows the user to decide when or where to use it is always much better than any utility that is locked behind part of their rotation and they have no say when to use it.
