Summoner got destroyed this patch

[Zorzi]

According to YoshiP SMN are still top DPS even with the removal of Thunder. They decided it was better to remove an additional skill rather than nerf Summoner DOTs.

This bothers me a lot. I would rather just have our numbers toned down instead of dumbing down the job as a whole. Instead of managing more dots, we now get to spam more ruin? Or spam Blizz II in aoe? I like managing dots, that's why I play SMN.

This.

I've said it multiple times, but we could have used our numbers adjusted down.

Dumbing down the class is not how you should do it, though. I'd much rather have some of the potencies lowered, because the THM class is just as much a part of SMN as SMN is--After all, SMN is just an add-on to ACN.
