Summoner needs a quick fix too

Unfortunately Akiza has the forum troll job perfected... Either way, as I said, we cannot jump to conclusions without seeing how they perform with better gear. Secondaries are not as vital as the main stat anyway... DPS loss this, DPS loss that... The only loss is not playing perfectly and not having your main stat capped.

This mentality has lead many people to doing crappy damage on SMN.

No Spell Speed does not lower your DPS on SMN, it just does not provide quite the DPS increase to SMN as it does to BLM. However what does actually lower DPS is having to use Energy Drain more and Ruin II less, to avoid flooring your MP. .

Swapping out DET for SS, or forcing a SMN to choose between having ACC or DET, more so in this tome gearset is a HUGE loss of damage to the class. You have no idea how much DET adds to SMN. SS in general is not a good stat to have on this class for besides the fact you hit the floor harder on an already MP intensive class, it adds essentially nothing to the class that translates into better numbers.
