Things currently wrong with frontlines that the community would like to see fixed

[lovelikewinter]

Most classes take a minute between being able to dish out burst damage. I play mainly DRG in PvP and once I'm out of jumps, BoTD, BfB, etc... it takes about a minute or two to get all of that back.

I main DRG for pve. The potency for any of their skills, regardless of being executed in a combo or not, is more powerful than Ruin II. Ruin II is severely underwhelming.



Keep in mind that dragoons also have instant aoe attacks as well DoT attacks that are instant, have 170 potency for the initial hit/30 dot potency, which is loads better than Ruin II. In just about every 1v1 instance where all off gcds are on cooldown, summoner will come out last.

The fact that SMN can play at a range with an AoE that deals 3k+ damage sometimes 5k makes it blatantly easy to abuse in a 72 man match. as far as soloing a SMN, as DRG that is really easy.

Summoners are glass cannons, thus any summoner with half a brain knows to stick with the group, and rightly so. Lucky for you there are plenty of stupid people that play Frontlines. If you've every played an 8v8v8 match and a team is mostly summoners, sure, the initial burst damage is there but after that, there lacks any killing power. Chances are the targets used purify once tridsaster hit.


The fact that DRG has ranged, off-gcd jumps (as well as one AOE jump with a potency of 250) every 1-2 minutes is insane, ridiculously more so if you're using power surge with Jump (50% additional damage added to a 200 potency attack). Dragoons are powerful and, if played right, pretty "op".

Don't get me started about AST, it's not a noob trap, the class is clearly better than the others especially when a GC isn't coordinated about sleeping it and focusing down other healers first.

I think Kyani did well with explaining this one. AST are great pocket healers, but they just lack the potency to be able to keep an entire party alive if they're the only heals in it.

I'll stand by what I said earlier, I've found the best way to defeat a class is to understand how it works, and take advantage of it. I used to think that summoners were so op, until I started playing one and understanding where the class falls short, maybe you should do the same.
