Can someone give me an in-depth explanation why Summoner is arguably the worst DPS?

So a 30 sec CD on enkindle AND a pet damage buff of 20% is extreme. I think there should be buffs, but that is too much. Remember that ifrit accounts for ~ 120 dps while auto attacking, so a 20% buff is a 24 dps increase on its own. This is pretty big. Adding to that the enkindle CD reduction is too much. Plus it fails to address the sustainability issues that are the big issue.

I prefer a more subtle approach. Give fester a 50% chance to allow the next energy drain to cost no aetherflow stacks. This solves the sustainability issue while also providing marginally more dps. (5-10). Baby steps please. We do not need FoTM classes, just balanced ones

Remember the golden rule when dealing with Akiza: Don't take him seriously.
