So about Summoner...

[Zerathor]

And yet you are comparing their damage, which considering the only place most people care about damage comparisons is in the meta, smells a bit like you are just trying to say whatever you can to make it sound like you are being fair, when you aren't.

OR you know, they could be noting that it's unfair that casters are shoehorned into playing smn, or else it hurts their selves and their group, and it's a little bit annoying.

As it stands there are two options:
-Smn has too much dps for the utility they bring

Or

-blm has too small of a dps gain (and only for SOME fights, it needs to be ALL) for the complete lack of any unique utility

I swear, smn mains are almost as bad as warriors when it comes to any other job trying to be competitive with them.
