Summoner got destroyed this patch

[Venom]

Yeah Bards have it easy, though we can not sprint out of AOE. No range DPS should do more than melee, that is just strange. I play Monk/Bard/Smn for dps and and never complained that my dps was low or I had to drop even lower as a bard. As a summoner though you just apply dots and watch the damage, a little unfair imo. Hell, Bards don't even use Allegen gear, all our bis are basically 90% myth at least smn can rock the cool gear :/ Still with that said removing thunder is a bit puzzling, not the end of the world but why not just adjust potency of existing spells?

I want to know how do you think BARD has it easy, take T4 for example. Song in P2 4 6. Timing it right for MP, taking the Rook and DPS while expecting to deal high damage. T2, taking rot from healers passing it the the next healer while silencing high voltage. How is BLM or PLD any easier than BRD?
