Summoner Over-Nered (and A few other Problems)

[SomeRandomHuman]

I know, and I'm not debating on this. I think that Titan+Sustain was completly OP, so the nerf doesn't bother me that much. Besides, I did all my leveling with Titan-egi just fine.

Whatever the case, saying that you need a dedicated healer to keep your pet alive to it can DPS is a ridiculous argument to use to show that "SMN has been over-nerfed!"... Especially since current parses put it at the second best DPS, on par with BLM.

Near top dps or not, the removal of sustain was pointless. The tank pets were designed to allow you to do solo content in the first place. Without sustain SMN doing any kind of solo content is a massive pain in the rear because everything hits so hard and you have to MP burn to just survive half the time in fate soloing.

Look at it like this: Not being able to sustain tank pets is like playing a tank and never repairing your gear after it breaks.

If you're going to argue it's ok, then make it so scholars can't summon the fairies outside of DF/RF content and see how that goes. It'll be the same thing basically.
