These...are...band aid...fixes. These were never going to be huge overhauls.

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.
