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

I honestly wouldn't mind seeing the passive itself give a potency boost on that (not 20%!), since the ability does next to nothing as it stands. the trait is broken in the worst way. It'd be a good way to equalize procs.

I think that 20% would be fair considering your options for spells to cast, Ruin.

@ Base Crit you're looking at 1 Proc for 8 Seconds (So 1 Extra Cast for 80 Potency/min)
@ 80% Crit you could reach 100% up time for 6 Extra Casts (480 Potency/min)

Garuda would just be half of that though. But far better in AOE situations.

Even with Current Gear it would only mean 2 extra Ruins or 10-14 DPS, which is funny though because it's the equivalent to +500 Spell Speed for 24 Seconds of 60.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Thing that would suck is the negative scaling for Spell Speed doing it that way.

2.5s * 0.8 @ 2s GCD - 0.5 Reduction
2s * 0.8 @ 1.6 GCD - 0.4 Reduction

Unless it was applied as a 20% reduction from the max GCD every time.

2s -> 1.5s GCD 0_0 -> 25% Reduction yes plz

Then the whole "MY MP!!!!" thing from casting more, but at least 2 X Ruin + Energy Drain > Fester

------------------------------------------------------------------

Making it 20% Casting speed and increasing Ruin/Ruin II to 100 Potency I think would go a long way.

+ 5 Potency/s from the Potency Increase + extra damage from a better proc system.
