Known Issues with some Summoner/Scholar Traits (Sep. 6)

[All_Nonsense]

From the devs:

We have identified the issues below with the Summoner's "Arcane Mastery" trait and the Scholar's "Enhanced Healing Magic" trait.

■Summoner Trait "Arcane Mastery"
Raised potency not activating for the following abilities:
・Inferno
・Earthen Fury
・Aerial Blast

■Scholar Trait "Enhanced Healing Magic"
Raised potency for healing and shielding effect not activating for the following abilities:
・Embrace
・Seraphic Veil

After investigation, we confirmed that due to this issue, incorrect values were being used in battle balance adjustment in the dev environment for the jobs in question, since potency and healing/shielding effects were not being enhanced for these abilities.

However, since the issue is not having any direct impact to battle balance as it is now with its current values, it will instead be fixed in tandem with job adjustments in Patch 7.1.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

So summoner has been eating dirt in dps and scholar has had nerf'd healing and they don't think it's enough of an issue to address till 7.1??? That doesn't sound right. That's entire parts of their kit they unlocked between lvls 90 and 100 that aren't activating.

It is a bug, but they also think that they balanced it despite that, so in order to fix it they would need to buff every other job, then fix SMN/SCH, and then they will all be balanced from SE's perspective. But buffs to all the jobs typically happen in the .1 patch so.

Of course, players don't necessarily agree that ranged jobs like that are balanced with the others, but SE seems to believe they are.

Found a bit more hard data on it:

Looks like an almost 1% damage nerf on summoner at the current time. Which of course doesn't necessarily mean smn can't clear content, but god it can't feel good to have your class improperly programmed and then told that it's not enough of an issue to address for 2 more months. Meanwhile, a viper rework and full potency reworks for every other class to bring it up to picto's OP damage output were rushed out in just a couple weeks. I'm not mad at the devs for everything this expansion, I'm just really confused. It's been a messy couple months.

More like "this isn't worth interrupting people's play with an additional small maintenance, so we're going to wait until a large maintenance and do it all at once."

If it truly is a 0.8% gain as noted above I do not see why this can't be fixed in a faster timeframe then 2 months. It feels terrible to be made aware there is in fact something going on but it will be fixed in two months. Great so not only did my job over time become far too simplified to play and lost all the complexity it had, the devs seem to not give a hoot about it having a bug that really wouldn't affect balancing. Yeah... I am just going to go find something else to go play at this rate.
