Summoner Over-Nered (and A few other Problems)

[Silkerin]

and, if you are going to remove the filler spell smn used before for aoes, then at least buff tri disaster to be decent if you dont want to give smns a new spell D: we all know that bind for all casters is basically useless... specially with the pvp changes... also if you give sch miasma 2 back just give smns too D:

oh better yet, make an aoe bind an role skill and give new effects for freeze, tribind and that one for red...

dont really care for potencies that much, smns do less damage than reds for a lot less work but, thats easily fixable so they do similar damage, but the way it is working right now is too clunky.

also, smns are only asking for a proper healing physic now because of reds and the removal of sustain, if they dont want to give sustain back just give us a proper heal to use, smns can already raise why not just give a weak heal to them? they would have to hard cast each one either way, so reds still would have the superior heal support for a caster.

and before someone say something stupid like its not part of the job or the lore or whatever, smns throughout the series had healing and buffing summons, some summoners had white magic, since they are still stuck to schs via arcanists, they should be use physic to at least some decent proficiency, this all could be avoided if they gave titan egi some life steal when they removed sustain

before we were given the excuse that smns couldnt summon primals in a more full form, but here we have demi bahamut, so lore impending the role to get something as simple as a healing spell and an aoe filler is invalid

Other way around: they were White Mages that had access to summoning abilities. By that logic, we should give WHM summoning spells.

Really SMN doesn't need a healing spell like the RDM Vercure, but rather give them a healing spell that would adequately work for their pet. One option would be to replace Tri-bind for Sustain (or at least a spell people actually use). Another would be a passive trait for SMN that would vastly increase the healing potency of Physick on their pet. One more would be trait that heals the pet for a portion of the damage dealt by the SMN.

The problem isn't having a heal as good as RDM. The problem is having a heal for a pet that will die no matter how much damage to them is reduced.
