In those games the player-based area of effect root is typically instant cast, wider in radius, and doesn't 100% break on the first pip of damage. Good luck casting it in PVP when someone is beating on you without Surecast or Swiftcast. Hell, if I was playing melee dps I'd hope you waste them on Blizz 2. It'll make stopping anything actually important you could cast easier.

Ninja nerf is a win.

As a SMN with Twintania down and just missing the ilv95 book.

I don't care about this "nerf", I'll adapt and adjust.

As a SMN with Twintania down and just missing the Book, how dare you put nerf in quotes?

How dare you say "adapt and adjust?"
What is there to adapt and adjust to?

How DARE you say "Learn2Play?"
Yes, because making the class easier by removing another timer certainly calls for more skill needed.

I wish there was no daily limit. I would comment on every single ignorant or misinformed post if I could.

KeeVee, I gotta say you and pandabearcat are my inspirations from when i started playing this game as a summoner.

How dare you whine about a change without testing it first hand?
How dare you jump at me for treating the "nerf" as a balancing?
How DARE you all caps that last DARE?

Just play the damn patch before complaining

I think all their testings is done with maxed out gear - I will even try to get a full spell speed set just to see how it differs, missing a few allagan pieces for that.
Also interested in seeing the new i90 Accessories to replace some Hero accessories or even Allagan accessories maybe.

I look forward to this patch because this "nerf" isn't the end of Summoners. Its a change. Adjust, adapt, melt faces.

-There is nothing to test. We're just losing a skill. Nothing is being gained, our playstyle isn't going to change. Our rotation isn't going to be changed(minus thunder).
-Because this is NOT the right way to balance things, at all. It's a nerf--Stop putting in quotes. I made no comment on if we needed it or not. This patch sets a horrible precedent for how they nerf things, and for whatever reason they value MYTH pieces over DROPPED pieces(one with ACCURACY, at that).
-Because "Learn2Play" when the class is getting easier means nothing.

The rest of your post is still garbage.

Can't you act a bit more civil?
As for the "nerf", again, provide exact numbers yourself if its such a massive nerf that it might ruin the class?

Yeah I have T5 down too. Even on that fight where I get to multi dot everything and not lose DPS to going into conflags and fireballs our BLM is still on top of the DPS. So yeah the thunder nerf is huge. There is literally no reason to play SMN when BLM does the ranged caster role better in every way.
