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

Called it, smn is functional with the exception of mp issues (and works well in dps.). I run with a smn on t13 now, he seems quite fine on dps even before the buff. SMN is fine. Not needing selene for good dps is a blessing and a curse at the same time, especially if sch gets nudged out in favor of the new healer.

You called it was an issue and that it should pretty much suffice. Unfortunately, it doesn't. BLM still superior on the damage front and it has infinite resources. Nothing has really changed but the MP management. It's a good thing, but it's not a solution to make people play SMN over BLM in certain scenarios.
What DPS do you do in T13 on your SMN?
Kona doesn't understand, but that was obvious a couple of his posts ago. It was a big SMN issue and it's a nice thing they adressed it. To claim that parsers are flawed and that SE magically has the numbers is utter bullshit and based on nothing but your own imagination. The parse works perfectly well. But if the parse is flawed, then who will argue in what way? Maybe SMN do even less damage, what do you know.
I am a main BLM, thank you, I would just like to play SMN and do the same damage or more because BLM to me is easy as hell. It's not challenging, it's boring, but it's pragmatical.

SMN does not have higher ST damage and the perfect proof of that is T11, cheers. The fact that Selene only benefits BLM is not an argument by the way (to come back to Xisin). If one class greatly benefits and another doesn't, then that is an inbalance. Also, again this horseshit about classes being different. What a fantastic observation! If you personally believe SMN should have better ST damage, then start acting like it, because it's what I have been saying all this time.
