Who is rerolling what?

What is that!? Is that the new Summoner!?!?!!?!?! 8O

Yup... but you an only do it once every 3 Dreadwyrm Trance cycles.

Basically you'll have to do 2 Normal Dreadwyrm Trances... each seperated by a 60 second recast timer on the Aetherflow... and then AFTER that... you get the Bahamut Egi for roughly 20 seconds... and then are back to normal damage (in this case nerfed damage).

The normal Summoner damage got nerfed really bad for the rest of the time you play... so for about 20 seconds every 3 minutes or so you get enhanced damage... but the rest of the time you'll be doing nerfed damage and unable to compete with the other caster classes.

So in the long term Bahamut won't make much difference in overall DPS...... and you won't see it very often.

But hey... it sure looks KEWL doesn't it?

It's kind of a sucker play for shallow people to bite on.

Silver? Just stfu okay? Still spreading this dps-overall-nerf-bs although Happy and other reddit-crafter analysed the burst structure let u look even more clueless. please just stop this.

Yeah that's the same Mr Happy that admitted he doesn't play one regularly and had no idea how they're played normally.

Even though it's not his cls hes way more cable of to see things through, while analysing STRUCTURES behind skills/systems, not to mention that hes top tier theorycrafter and member of worlds first progress in raids. Anyway it's senseless to talk with you any further if you question Someone like him. ciao.

Thank you both for the info, but please don't fight over this. Whether nerfed or not we'll see how the SMN class plays once we actually play the game. Honestly, to me, I don't think the SMN nerf is going to be as overkill as we think like how WHM was revealed. But that's opinion, so lets just look forward to the rebuolt class and see how it is later on release, kay?

I said more than once that he just should wait and see. But hes crying and whining in every smn thread again and again - this made me kinda furious .___.

MNK for nerfed life.

Rerolling to Samurai. It seems to be the only melee that still has the complexity that I enjoy.

Anyway, this "wait and see"-approach doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. We got informed that they started looking into the feedback about the perceived underpowered classes, right? So maybe something gets fixed. If you "wait and see", things most likely would not be fixed, and then you'd probably have to wait until 3.1. In addition, having the default attitude that "all the info from the late April(which is NOT a long time ago) build is worthless and it'll be changed" is a bit off. Where it will be changed could still be possible to affect. And it's not even guaranteed that all the things people have problems about will get changed. For instance, what if there is no feedback and an underpowered class gets nerfed even further due to that? If things change, then you reassess and reconsider. But right now, you definitely should treat the media tour information as facts and go by them.

Was thinking of rerolling to RDM but might reroll to BLM instead... very undecided between the two. help?

I commend you for being one of few people trying to make sure everyone understands that Silver is full of crap, across multiple threads. Do what you do~

Now to contribute to the thread. I have been PLD since 2.0 but I've been waiting for RDM in this game since the day FFXIV was announced and they put pictures up of all the weird new class types that were coming with this wild new MMO. So I'll have to make the switch...but tanking is a tough mistress to turn your back on, so PLD will probably be the second lv. 70 as they giving them some attention.
