How To Fix Summoners

[Kevee]

Oh wow, I had no idea you had to cast two whole abilities to set up your burst. That changes everything.

/sarcasm

I've fought a disturbing number of SMN who start the fight by Swift-casting Miasma. How exactly am I supposed to stop them from hardcasting ONE spell when they still have Surecast and Equanimity?

I hope you realize defending that burst strength and setup requirement is equivalent to saying: If you ever let a geared BLM cast two Fires on you (one if he's lazy and swift-casts the first), and then 'let him' Scathe a couple times, you deserve to be globalled.

And then they have no swiftcast tri-disaster or resurrection for a minute.

Yes, it is equivalent to that. How is it not? If you let one class or the other nuke away, they will burst you. Have you ever been Fire-Fire-Swiftcast Flare'd? Yeah, it hurts.

Especially since it's only bursting that much due to a GEAR DIFFERENCE.
