I think they nerfed SMNS

You can macro pet actions now though. An easy workaround would be to macro whatever Garuda's basic attack is to your other spells.

Will a series of "auto-attack" be interrupted when I need to press contagion. I had trouble interrupting a macro to do something else. There will still be a dps decrease because macros do not take into considerations decimal times for her cooldowns.

well...well... we lost our dot,pet ai possibly screwed up.. but hey we have a new ice aoe spell! but they nerfed that too...
now SF broke sleeps and binds...same bind u apply with the new aoe spell,come on! i cant believe this is real! i know DEVS DONT PLAY SUMMONER and maybe yoshi is pissed off because want blm overpower smn in single target too...
summoner is the most complicated class to play , about 18 skills to use costantly in a fight (17 now...thx we resolved our problem lol) and..difficult for what reason? lower dps than a blm on single target lower on multi target,no support for group like silence or stun (yes ifrit can stun but really manage pet for stuns is absurd),so wich is our role now? play with barbie while blm take ur place in all coil turn or CT as well?
very very frustrated,fortunately my 3 moths billing is near the end

i'm pretty sure the obey thing is for scholar pets since they would continue to heal even with steady

I'm hoping they fix Aero so SMN does get access to it. That wouldn't be so bad since it's still an additional DoT to use.

Also with the Obey adjustment, I'm hoping it's just a toggle to switch between Sic/Obey.

thunder costs a ton of mana, more than any of our dots. replacing it with a ruin instead increases our mana efficiency not decreases it. but without thunder they could easily drop enkindle to a 1 minute cooldown and we'd still lose dps. I would certainly be more interested if that happened.

the bane thing I can see too because on something like garudas feathers which are currently really hard to get with that would be really overpowered. not sure 3 yards is quite enough though.

range increase is pretty good,sometime u miss it because think mobs are near enough but they are not hehehhe
and good the fix about reset duration if just used contagion

They nerfed all ranged, so ppl now will take melee and stop stacking randed. Its not about class Balance, its about casual player Balance, those who know the class they playing cant understand the adjustments at all. Good mnks laugh at theire boost's, ranged just go wtf? and drg's got a well deserve adjustment. Its BS, but still it will make the fate grinding crying mofo happy, and keep playing..

.....They nerfed my Scathe and my blizzard 2. THey didnt touch my fire 3, fire 1, firestarter, thunder II/III, or thundercloud. They removed the double flare bug, oh well. Can still flare convert swiftcast flare transpose freeze fire 3 etc. To say we got nerfed is true, but we got nerfed on stuff that we barely use/don't need to use. So really, for boss fights or significant add fights, we are the same. We are Legion

nerf all ranged,yes they did but not in same measure as for smn,they adjusted ur skills (and fixed other) we now have a whole skill that disappear! isnt a half point reduction , is 100% nerf ! smn has lower hp,lower mana,lower burts dmg,his only stron side is long term fights but is very very difficult to play,much more than blm and quiet more than bard
smn has nothing to help in raid like stun silence,blm has sleep (not very usefull i know but better than nothing),nerfed Virus,so if u have 2 smn and 1 sch there will be some misses
so..wanted to nerf ranged...but why? melee has higher armor and resists,mages are weak and now has lower dps than melee? its a nonsense

[Shikiseki]

but hey look at this way, we basically got a close ranged binding aoe that does bit more damage than our existing one!
oh wait... it's not like I used the already extremely situational tri disaster on garudas plumes to die on a slow shadow flare death >_<;
Also dat hidden Bane nerf! Extended dots was our huge surprise proc weapon. It seems we're not allowed to have great procs since BLM is the job for that...
The thunder drop is somewhat annoying but I could have lived with that but not in trade-off with a cheap Tri-Disaster clone!

I really don't know why they hurt Summoners this badly while they finally recovered by the bad dps stigma, they just get a new one from all the qq threads in the forums.
Our reputation will fall through the floor! ( which wasn't that high to begin with)
