Why Summoner Needs Help

[Neela]

But it's pointless to discuss potencies anyway, what matter is what DPS smn making compared to BLM. And it is comparable.

I agree to nearly everything you said above ^^

the point behind all the complains is just that blm/rdm are easier to play/reach those numbers - some smns already proved they could compare their dmg at least with blm maybe even with rdm. its just the majority can't archive that same amount any longer without putting a hugh portion of extra effort into it -> complaining is so much easier you know...

but even if we can reach an on par level its way harder for smn than ever before - you can't deny this fact - at least in the manner of "balancing" they should adjust the skill/rota synergy here... I don't think it matters on the potecy itself they are okay-ish if you don't mess up or lock your skills out yourself, but the punishment for doing so is a bit hard atm... ^^

Yeah putting more effort to show worse numbers than "no effort" RDM surely doesn't sound fair. I just hope we won't need to wait till 4.2 for next ruin3 buff lol...

What square can do with smn is very limited. I personally think smn needs full revamp from ground up, to fix this "identity crisis" which was always there and still there. But realistically most they can do - change atherflow again and buff ruin3 potency to like 170-180.
