Summoner Info

They are a DPS class and sure you can do dungeons with them, only problem is if you have ANY other DPS class in the dungeon instead, you would be able to finish that dungeon so much faster because they just do much more damage than Summoners at the current state.

Being #2 on the aggro list does not mean much, just means you aggro them more, it does not mean you deal more damage. According to the damage meters, we constantly deal much less damage than all the other DPS classes out there.

Don't get me wrong, this class is fun and I like it and will continue to play it but I am just disappointed in the damage output overall. All other classes outshine us in damage potential.

You guys will see what I mean when your level 45+ and group up alot, we can't even stack up DoTs fast because all of our skills share the same global cooldown... =(

Yup level 40 at the moment let me just say the level 40 skill is downright disappointing and let me add if summoner damage needs a buff or what I think square should do is buff the pets.

Now I am kicking myself for not going black mage when I made my character. >_> Since its long to start again and the fact that servers are locked from making new characters.

Why would you make a new character to go Black Mage? Just level up Thaumaturge on your current character.

Damage meters currently mean squat in-game because of how DoT damage is factored(or not factored) into the combat log.


Also, it does mean you do more damage.

[mountaindew]

DoT damage is factored into the combat log if you know how to set it up, so the damage meter does accurately display total damage.

No, it's not. You can check everything and it still doesn't show.

This was the same problem in B3 when trying to parse BRD.
