Please nerf summoner in PvP.

[Zabuza]

This class is over the top when it comes to PvP. Good damage, two slows, one being instant, instant bind, swiftcast raise. As a monk I'm totally owned facing a double summoner comp, I'm always either slowed or bound. I don't have enough CC break/immunity to win vs this comp. I have managed to burst one down before, only for them to get swiftcast raised by someone. Not to mention they give a FIFTY PERCENT DECREASE IN HEALING TO THE ENEMY.

Even if you kill the healer, the summoner will swiftcast rezz someone, unlike black mage, you can't shut down their CCs either by staying on them. Their damage is also better than black mages. With comps that run 2 of this class it is just ridiculous. Three swiftcast raises in total. Crazy damage. Two fifty percent healing reduction debuffs that can be single target or AoE. Melee has no chance against good summoners. Nerf this class in PvP ASAP.

This class is broken. There is seriously no contest on this.

Summoners have:
- MS (50% Healing Debuff)
- Insta-Rez
- Slows
- Good Damage
- Binds
- Pets

This class is literally near perfect. It's hardly balanced in the slightest. Notice the FOTM Double SMN comps? You realize DBL SMN has 3 insta rezzes in addition to multiple MS debuffs?

Explain to me how this is remotely close to balanced.
Sleep is a joke compared.

How about this fix: Remove PvP from the game.
Huge mistake.

This. We're about to enter an endless cycle of nerfing and buffing trying to get every class completely equal.

Totally agree.

how do pvp actions work with multiple jobs? Do you get your pvp actions for each job? e.g. you have 3 points, you get to spend them on both your monk and your other job? or do you get to use them on just ONE set of abilities?

Ran into a SMN/SMN comp once.
I cried.

Lol, I play mostly PLD in PvP, and I tear summoners up. SE did a decent (albeit not perfect) job with their rock-paper-scissor setup for Wolves', and the fact that smn has no real stuns more than makes up for their mobility and DOTs. They have binds like tri-disaster and blizzard (20 and 5 sec respectively), but even when used effectively these are of marginal value (just like Freeze.. they're good, but not that good). Even when bound, you can still use actions, and its removed as soon as you're hit, so meh.. not exactly a stun or a sleep.

Also rez.. I wasn't aware that SMN could use rez in combat now. I guess that'll suck when I run into that, but still -- if you die once in wolves you're going to die again.

Tri-Disaster is a 20 second AOE bind.

Stun on the GCD. GG.

Let's not forget Spirits Within for some lovely silence.

Never had an issue w/ Tri-Disaster. Pop a purify you're back in the game, the SMN never stood a chance.
