Demi-Bahamut's Wyrmwave

[Neela]

Would a user macro with /macroicon <wyrmwave>
I don't play summoner and i'm not sure why you need to watch for wyrmwaves. Ruin IV procs maybe?

wws are kind of autoatks from bahamut which have a short cd like every skill (backdrop: their cd isn't visible in your xbar) - the fact that they are bind to your own actions forces you to keep being aware if he triggered a ww or not. if you spam your own skills while ww is on cd you create a dps loss in your burst phase. Ruin iv procs are visible ever since.

so a visual that makes the wws more clearly would be nice in someway... could be an animation or just a blinking red eye on the trance gauge - doesn't really matter how but yeah that would made live quality even easier ^^

You just said it yourself, the real reason SMN isn't taken in speed killing is because of the disembowel synergy with both BRD and MCH. This says nothing of how powerful SMN is just of how the synergy of the meta is (which also needs fixing, by the way). Not all jobs will ever "be meta" so to state that yours needs to be otherwise it must not need nerfing is highly illogical.

As it stands, SMN is absolutely the strongest caster and has the highest utility of the casters. See also: needs a nerf.

This is a bit hypercritical dontcha think? What happened to the coms philosophy to aim for balance buffs instead of nerfs? Just thinking of all the Sam & Rdm op threads. Sure they overdone it on smn but yeah just wondering why smn deserves a nerf now instead of buffing xyz ^^‘

I guess it always depends on which side yourself is actually staying hu?

I've always been against buffs to all jobs rather than nerfs to one job, it's how we end up in bad situations like we're in right now with BRD/MCH. People complained and complained and complained and now MCH is insanely strong and once again meta instead of ANY caster. I think it was Remedi who pointed out this is exactly how the "power creep" works.

It is how power creep works, but as long as BRD and MCH (and DRG and NIN) remain as strong as they are, I will not say that SMN needs a nerf. With the way things are at the moment, BLM needs a lot of help, and RDM needs to do enough damage or bring enough raid DPS by buffing Embolden to be able to compete on some level. SMN is strong as a caster, with its 2 main competing classes (BLM and RDM) both being bad in one aspect or another.
