I haven't hit 70 yet but I could see the impact instantly at 60. If I want to do anything solo or otherwise, I absolutely have to have my chocobo out to get back any damage SE took away. I can't keep my egis alive, can't haul Shadow Flare off the ground and move it to where the mobs were taken, I have no third dot to cast to take up seconds standing around waiting for flow. All I found myself able to do is cast Miasma, Bio, dump flare and hope the stuff isn't moved out, and spam nerfed ruin for whatever damage I can get out of that while waiting to use trance. I don't know how to explain it. Just seems like I'm doing half of the damage I used to. To learn that bane makes dots worse is disheartening. I didn't notice that since there wasn't much to tell when you're in a fate and 20 other people are hitting everything, but now that explains stuff taking longer to die solo. Stuff doesn't die efficiently for summoner anymore now, I guess lol
