Summoner Early Post-Launch Feedback at level 80

But what allowed NIN and especially SAM to receive potency buffs while SMN received basically nothing in 5.08?

You could argue for NIN buffs, but there is no reason SAM needed potency buffs.

If they received those buffs to "tide them over" until the rework of 5.1, then why didn't SMN receive them too? The difference between MNK and SAM is non-existent compared to the difference between BLM and SMN.

Yoshi P did they were tackling it Ninja > Samurai > Summoner

I assume they ran out of time, and just gave us the ruin change.

I think a lot of the issue is they don't really know / can't decide what to do.

I do think we'll get something in 5.1 as they said, it wasn't that they didn't want to say anything, just that they hadn't made any decisions and didn't want to stir things up before they had finalised the changes. Which to me makes sense. Either way, I expect we will see some mechanical change and alongside this buffs.

I don’t think they said anything about their order of priority. That was just the order in which they asked the questions. SMN needs the most changes imo, not just buffs.

Lets not be disingenuous, SAM absolutely needed buffs. It's a greedy DPS job that doesn't output greedy DPS numbers. Jobs with far superior party utility, DRG and MNK were also bringing better damage then SAM to the table as well as their buffs.
