Why Summoner Needs Help

[Angry_Evil]

[B]Bio III, Miasma III and Tri-Disaster's changes don't make up for the loss of Bio in our arsenal

Yes, because it was not their purpose to compensate any nerfs.
I don't get how you people still don't get it... All nerfs - dots, ruin3, spur etc. are there only cause of bahamut. Square was cautious that bahamut will make smn too OP so they nerfed us a little too much. But not as much as people seem to think.

Black Mage can get 2600 potency every two minutes, but Summoner, whose entire gameplay is about building up to a big hoorah, a brilliant finish... is relegated to a mere 1088 potency in two minutes, with Deathflare only providing 800 more in this time.

Why are you forgetting that bahamut is not only 1088 potency of akh morn but also 1600+ potency with 10-12 wyrmwaves? But it's pointless to discuss potencies anyway, what matter is what DPS smn making compared to BLM. And it is comparable.

Bye bye AoE! It's been said before, said again, and I'll also add to that chorus: Bane has been utterly butchered.

Again... SMN aoe is still on par or a little weaker than BLMs. I checked it specifically in 70lvl dungeons. Why people are whining about bane all the time and forgetting bahamut again and again? Do you even have ANY aoe dps numbers for summoner? To actually compare something?

JUST TO MATCH BLACK MAGE OR RED MAGE.

Do you ever saw actual aoe dps numbers for rdm blm and smn?

Why the new Aethertrail Attunement is a Mistake

This is pretty much the only one thing I'm 100% agree with. I dunno what ideas for smn SE had but this new aetherflow system failed. It disrupts rotation flow so smn needs to cancel DWT early for aetherflow to refresh right before bahamut...
