SMN - knowing the class (part 1)

[RockStrongo]

I think that everyone is going to have to eventually learn that SMN is a DPS class by default (much like ACN pre-30 and BRD...to an extent). SMN does a little bit of everything and isn't going to have the same output as the other DPS classes because of the versatility of the Egis, but that doesn't mean that some damage output isn't there.

Also, with the addition of new summons and the lack of an elemental wheel, I think we are going to see much more situational uses for SMN. Perhaps Ramuh applies DoTs, Shiva uses debuffs, Leviathan well...you get the picture. We are just going to see how this job plays out and wait more than a week to complain about things we don't like, especially if 2.1 is right around the corner.

Hmmm, a thread about summoner, and its all about the summoners spells. Instead of the pets like it should be.

Summoner is a joke.
