Nerf SMN

Yes please, but it's more than SMN. SCH also needs a nerf. They're for more powerful in PvP than WHM.

I live in the twilight zone. I guess WHM scales more with skill in PVP or something, lustrate + pet spamming heals takes 0 skill.

Any team would be better if you replaced another dps with a summoner. It's not a question of if, but when/how SE will adjust them.

There is no wrong information. As I mentioned, cast Miasma if "free". It's a 2.4s cast. Compared to BLM cast times, this is great.

For me, I always put BIO2, BIO, Miasma1/2 on the target I want to burn down. And MIASMA2/BIO is most likely on everyone else moving around on the map, so damage is everywhere with the healer under pressure.

Garuda can be LOSed, Ifrit can be kited, but no one can stay mobile an entire game, esp. for healers/casters.

There are 2 bursts - the one I mentioned and Ruin1>Ruin2>Fester. All 3 can be cast within 4s since Fester is off global cooldown. That is also another 1K combo without crit. Even with 2 dots, 800 is a respectable number with Ruin2>Fester.

Finally, Swiftcast 20s BIND is very powerful in combination with sleep with BLM.

I am not saying nerf SMN, but right now SMN is clearly top of the pack. Maybe they may need to remove swiftcast off of cross class, although I can imagine angry mobs on the street if they do so.

Pvp can be made more fun solely by tweaking the diminishing returns and one small spell called sleep. Sleep has a duration of 30 seconds, lower it to 20 instead. Make diminishing returns more powerfull in this case I'll use sleep as an example, however it can be applied to all types of Crowd Control, including the debuffs on Miasma.

Sleep 1 ) 20 second duration
Sleep 2) 8 second duration
sleep 3) immune.
Cooldown) 1 minute.

If they just did that from the beginning, pvp would be much more enjoyable. Also certain skills need a damage adjustment, like Spur + Rouse + Enkindle for smnrs, but also flare for BLM and several other heavy hitting skills from other classes.
