Please nerf summoner in PvP.

[Vampt]

So does cure, doesn't mean it's not worth using.

well have fun casting anything in pvp ^^ other than the 10 seconds from the skill

[Brutikus4th]

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

Totally agree.

Yeah, I'm just gonna main summoner for PvP. Playing monk I feel like I have very few tools.

Here is monk pvp:
Chasing sprint targets. Even if I get the weapon throw ability, it only counters like 1/10 to 1/5 of sprints with the level 3 enhancement, assuming you hit your target in the back
Shoulder Tackle and Steel Peak stop stunning within like 20 seconds into the fight
Guesstimating player positions with server latency, so you basically have to be right on top of people to do anything to them
Best thing I bring to the table is arm of the destroyer

All a summoner has to do to me is land one miasma and I'm finished. Totally shutdown.

Benediction/lustrate is literally the only way to top someone off or make them gain HP if a summoner diseased them. Pretty cool. Sure glad you can disease someone for 52 seconds.

What happened to esuna / leeches?

The bolded is pretty much what I go through. I can delay the inevitable with purify, fetter ward, and shoulder tackle. However, after those options are exhausted, I am dead in the water. It should be noted I have tried using sprint/fists of wind when miasma is on me, and I STILL can't catch targets that are running at normal speed.

Those precious seconds fiddling around trying to cast esuna can very well spell death for a healer.

Yeah srs try to cast anything as a healer

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.

oh god the nerf threads have begun, do people even take this game's pvp seriously? I don't even think SE does.

If you're fiddling around trying to cast spells then you need more practice and awareness, especially Esuna/Leeches which are practically instant. As for casting other spells, where is the rest of your team?
