Js. These "bandaids" are a joke.

Hope I never have you in my party. You're the biggest race here but you don't see us not inviting you for blocking views.
Pointless and rude comment.

Again...until I'm blue in the face...bigger...changes...are...coming...in...4.1. Expecting major things, from band aids is moronic on the individuals part. And even then, with these "band aids" they've fixed a lot of stuff. Is there still work to do? Of course, but let's not act like they haven't done good with them thus far.

I've heard "oh they will fix things next major patch" far too many times over the years of mmorpgs and it rarely actually happens.

In this case the sentence is actually appropriate and the dev team has followed through on the promise before.

Read up on the 2.0 -> 2.1 Warrior changes if you want proof.

Except they have, in the past, and have even made some nice changes with the recent hotfixes already.

A thousand times this. They can't even balance well as it is, I don't get why people think any changes are going to be grounded in reality.

These...are...band aid...fixes. These were never going to be huge overhauls. They said bigger changes would be coming in 4.1 repeatedly, but people simply don't pay attention and want to bitch and moan. I get that some jobs, like SMN, are frustrated but these fixes were never intended to be the be all end all for your job. Your day in the sun will come. Relax.

Sorry but this excuse doesn't fly. Scholars got Miasma II back in the previous minor patch. There's no reason they couldn't have at least given Summoners back Sustain in this one.

The potency changes themselves are entirely tone deaf to the actual problems Summoner currently faces as well. The job doesn't have any potency issues (barring maybe Akh Morn). The simplest bandaid fix numbers-wise would have been to ease up on the damage falloff on Bane, Deathflare and Akh Morn.

The devs seem to be entirely clueless about what the problems with the job are. These changes are just depressing.

the reason is obviously because they don't want to.
