Summoner buff

[Tex_Mex]

This thread got taken over by people who do not understand end game performance, skills, balance practices, or anything else required to actually make these decisions. I think I am done. Here's to hoping for major changes in Heavensward. I won't be playing my SMN again if some are not made.

This post is about the "Summoner buff" Which, I feel as a LONG time SMN was helpful. This post isn't about Engame raid or coils. This post is about Summoners and how to help them in all PARTs of the game. Have a good Day!!!

Hmm..no..this post is about the buff to summoners and how it affected them. This isn't a thread to try and fix smn's. It was simply a thread to hear players feedback about the MP reduction for ruin/ruin2.

Actually you can filter a lot of that stuff out now and only display your DoTs or even make it so yours display first.

Your DoTs won't appear if it's beyond the first ~30, regardless of if you have it set to display only yours or not.

Hey I said you could filter it out, I didn't say it was perfect. Today I just notice the option to show only effect you inflict and used that in WoD. Had a glitch here or there but all in all it worked out well.

You know, I'm surprised nobody has brought this up yet, but I feel like this all goes back to the unnecessary blm buff from the SCoB era. For those of you who don't remember, a bunch of people who didn't play blm very well declared that it was underpowered, and whined that everyone wanted smn over blm for SCoB content, while the truth was, that people who DID play blm well could go toe to toe with smn in basically any content. As a result, SE caved and gave them a straight damage boost to their single target nukes. And, here we have the results. In truth, I feel like the solution was never doing the blm buff to begin with, and letting the lesser skilled blms get better at their job.

i feel like nothing you can do to keep smns from crying all day. i wanted this job to work. such a cool concept. but all the ppl crying about every single little thing ruined it for me. also, is anyone else afraid that new pets wont best Garuda?

Any smn worth their salt doesn't only use garuda.

Amen.

More to the point with regards to MP, you really should be on Ifrit now except for some add phases.

Ifrit is far superior now.

MP management never been a big deal for me and I main SMN and beat turns 11-12 in my static.

Just don't spam ruin 2 people. Recast time you don't get more hits with ruin 2, just use it when on the move and for the fester combo of
Ruin 1, ruin 2, fester then back to ruin 1.

Before the MP adjustment, you still went OOM in virtually any FCOB fight in about 2-3mins performing optimally, of course not factoring a couple of Energy Drains to actually finish a fight. Who ballads for a SMN nowadays?

omg you dont say? really? no sh**....
i was more saying how i hope the new pets dont get put away after a short time period from them not being as adequate.
