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

yep those kill numbers were back in early November/October with the exception of T13... how were your numbers back in November/December on these fights? in i110 playing as cautious as I did. My most recent numbers are out there if you want to find them its pretty easy to do so (as of 3 weeks ago, so my gear was like i122 + i130 wep at the time, I haven't submitted anything since.) Those nov clear vids featured many things I don't do now. The t12 was a first clear the t11 was my alt on first use, the t13 was a first clear. the t10 was something I put up as a result of someone asking me of a recording of what I did to break 500+ on t10 and I messed up a bunch with a rather embarrassing mistake at the end, I do not only talk about my best of the best performances. I need to also say that you stated very recently that parses really don't measure squat.

Unless you reply back with a fib I'll leave it be.

- your gear will change as a smn - so all that lost dps on gear will come back naturally. I highly doubt the next set will be so spell speed saturated Gear sets are easier to change than your hard values on your spells

- If you stop running out of mp and are able to keep up shadow flare + maintain Ruin 2s + use miasma 2 + use festers instead of energy drain your dps will improve, being stuck with garuda 24/7 due to mp issues also isn't helping summoner. serious mp cost buffs should fix this

- Asking for something for smns out of spell speed is fair and sure you should not have a useless stat. Quite honestly summoner should improve its numbers when the world of darkness gears is released.

- Asking for potency is not the way, adding a mere 5 potency per tick on Bio 2 would make it a whopping 50 more potency better, Miasma 2 would see a 40 point increase and Bio would see a smaller 30 point increase - With that in mind SMNs much like bard have near 100% if not 100% up time on everything if played properly.
