Just a weird distinction to make it sound like a Summoner only problem. Polyglot specifically mostly isn't comparable because everything a Black Mage does is tied to the GCD, so everything's relative strength is based on the average value of that GCD. I would think it more comparable to use AF/UI, because if we can't hit a thing, that hurts us much more directly given that everything is GCD based - Whether or not Polyglot stopped 'stacking' doesn't matter as much in this scenario. We're losing GCDs just like the Summoner loses potential Trance uses, but the difference is we can never get the GCD back, where as a Summoner both isn't always losing uses, and because it's OGCD, loses less for losing the GCDs since not everything is tied to it.

Anywho, I'm wondering what happens in 5.11's patch. Do Summoners lose the Raise, or do Black Mages get 20 potency on Fire 4?

Taking wagers!
