Summoner got destroyed this patch

[heartlessly]

Reading a lot of these comments makes me happy to see many of you share my sentiment. Summoner has been rendered useless. The class has honestly been turned into a derpy class for those looking to get away from the BLM for some fun pet time. This is a sorry excuse for a nerf for the sake of a nerf. Nothing was fixed and i would really just prefer my mytho points back so i can just become a BLM like everybody else. I've spent way too much time gearing and perfecting my class just to be on par with some of the end game BLM's on my server to now struggle to keep up with the afking semi-afk monks (after 2.1) next time you want to mess with a class just reset mytho or give people their invested money back because ive just wasted 2 and a half months on a now useless class (imo).

That is a little extreme. First there is no way losing Thunder is going to render SMN useless, maybe less fun, but DPS wise people are already coming up with the math and it looks like it will be a ~8-10% loss. We needed the nerf. Though I think most of us agree this was a poor way to do it. as far as getting your money back, you enjoyed your time over the past few months I assume, so you gained entertainment out of it. Lets say a mmo closes its doors, should they have to refund every players lifetime of subs, because they ruined there future fun? Of course not. If you no longer have fun by all means cancel, but I think it a bit absurd to think you are owed money because something changed. I played WoW, they changed it, it sucks now, canceled my sub and moved on. That my friend is life.

I'm more than grateful for the bane range buff

Yeah I think this is getting overlooked. It will be a good improvement. Now if they would remove that pesky 3 mob cap.

Well i wouldn't sell you a car then tell you to bring it in for a mandatory recall and reissue you the same car without doors while giving you the excuse "it weighed too much for the roads". Your car was nerfed, money please.

You are a terrible summoner, if you ever played one, otherwise you're talking out of your rear with no knowledge and don't realize Summoners are still #1 for damage dealing.
I'll be enjoying this patch with my Summoner. No reason to change to another class, Black Mage is beyond boring, Bard is a snorefest and I haven't leveled Monk or Dragoon and still don't feel like doing so..

Hopefully I'll be coming across you in PVP at one point if the pool of players selected for the arena is cross-server so we can settle it over THE INTERNET like gentlemen.

We lose thunder. Big deal. Proper calculations show that it is a 5.6% loss afaik, some estimate it a bit closer to 7%, but hey, Monks are not gonna surpass us. Dragoons? Nope. Bards? Definitely not and Black Mages also got a bit of a nerf, so they are still under me~

Bask in my gloating.

Lets see Monk keep up on the damage charts for Twintania when you have to move all over the place and oh hey, RUN AWAY during phase 4 because if you get stunned next to Twintania, you're a baddie and die automatically from the Dread Knight.

Meanwhile I just let my dots tick away without a care in the world~

That number is wrong, btw. It's ~9-10%.

I couldn't comment on the guy doing it, but for first thing he didn't factor in contagion/RS/Int Pots, and the way he went about the time and rotation is wrong.

I'm still going to say you're overestimating and exaggerating.
