Summoners Overpowered in PvP

[Lorielle]

Oh this topic again. Didn't this pop up like months earlier? People didn't want to encompass the fact of what made SMN ridiculously strong. A glass cannon behind an iron wall with no penalty.

Edit:

Weeee....Enjoy reading through 26 pages.

I dont care about K/d. Sometimes its screenshot worthy. Ultimately i care about my team winning regardless of my k/d. People are arguing that smns are op and melees are helpless. I provided one counter example. Thats it. Melees are not helpless against smns. SMNs can be worked around. They are not as bad as people say they are.

Yeah, just wait for them to completely destroy some guys in 2 seconds...THEN go on the offensive against them. It's the parable of the lone gunman versus a mob: who wants to rush the lone gunman and be guaranteed to die for your fellows to have a better chance at getting the lone gunman (he's got what 6 shots? I should just wait and then go after a few braver guys take the bullets).

I feel overpowered as a Summoner, but then I see a mob of players running me slap over.

Maybe I should have a copy and paste for this specific topic what a lot of people try to get across about SMN in PVP. People always want to assume OP = Invincible/Unstoppable. That's not the case of discussion if people actually took a minute to actually observe what the job is capable of doing versus other jobs.

Even I feel like Warrior gets a lot for what it can do, but at least the draw back for them is they have no mobility and stack restricted.

That tends to happen with battle fever, balance, and raging strikes.

Lol, yeah. But it's still awesome to see. By that I mean literally awe inspiring.

I know the feel of that dragoon all too well. You think you might get away, get a heal or two thrown in...NOPE. You just got raptured by a summoner. :'(

That's why I LB any summoner that gets in my clutches, most don't bother with VIT accessories which = rip. Can also deny them a battle high if they were close already which can make a nice difference.

Mission complete.
