Thread: Bane/Sustain in 4.1

Having played my fair share of summoner so far, I can honestly say that the Bane nerf I feel is huge. Not to summoner but to its usefulness as a skill. Painflare and fester are more useful, dps wise than Bane will ever be.

IMO i think that main should be brought back to its original 1 target + 2, (without using an aetherflow) and sustain brought back by using 1 aetherflow, and either healing a percentage overtime, (for pets) or being a buff or heal for Team Mates. for example (use use Sustain on a Tank, each time they take damage for the next X seconds, it is reduced by Y percentage. If used on a pet, it will heal X% of its life every Y seconds.

For Healers it could be, Each dps dealt by the anointed healer, will be released after 3 seconds in an aoe heal, centered on the healer.

etc, etc.

No, just bring back the NORMAL sustain. It's a pain in the ass to keep pets alive and having to position them again and again which takes time from Sch/Smn. Don't try to change what wasn't broken.

Dude no one would use sustain if it used up an aetherflow. It's just not worth it.

Bring back Sustain as it already existed.

Give Bane damage fall off using the same %'s as every other damage fall off ability in the game.

It actually has less damage fall off than Hissatsu:Guren, amusingly. I can't think of a skill that drops harder.

Also, the Bane nerf wasn't targeted at SMN but SCH. Apparently SE didn't like they were spending their time AFK spamming Blizz2, so there ya go.

Guren loses 75% of it's damage by the third target hit, going from an Impressive 800 to a meager 200. Bane on the other hand only drops by 80% on the fifth target hit.

We don't need heals for group that the healer job... we need heals for our pets

Remove Physick from Summoner, swap it with Sustain.
