Why is BLM getting a buff?

aoe doesnt break or nullify encounters, i,e BOSS fights, trash is trash, who the hell balances around trash

I disagree. I think when balancing every content should be taken into cosideration. Still, based on your response I take it you wouldn't have a problem if when the fix comes your AoE is toned down, since trash is trash. Right? At least we're on the same page, there.

So true, or all classes should get more aoe too.

I couldn't agree more. Myth farming is generally for animus so by that line of thinking atma farming is just as important and there's no other dps better at this than summoners. Other classes can sweep the mobs fates just fine but summoners are even better at it. They can tag everything with bio and pull out various aoes safely while titan tanks in the middle. But when it comes to boss fates though, nothing even comes close to summoners. Melees can initiate them alone but their damage output is way lower than they could be compared to when someone else is tanking it for them and some bosses are not soloable by them. Same with bard, even more so with black mage. Just too squishy.

Summoners can take out fate bosses without taking a single damage to themselves AND kill them way faster than any dps can alone. Considering how resilient they are for this content compared to other dps, they shouldn't have a damage output that good. Hell, it's so good, I went as smn to all my atma farming even though my main dps is black mage and I've seen bards, monks, dragoons, black mages slow down and stop in front fate bosses when they know I'm arriving shortly after them just so I can engage them first and we're not even in a party!

I think a single target dps nerf on smn is in order? Being this tanky is kinda unfair, no?
