SMN - knowing the class (part 1)

[Ribbon]

One of the strengths of a summoner is in their ability to use cross class abilities. There are three which are very beneficial. Thunder, Aero, and Raging Strikes. The only ability I have in my current parses is Thunder which is doing 22 DPS across the entire fight. Aero would do another 15 DPS and Raging Strikes would give two entire dot cycles an extra 20% damage. That would probably be around a 5 DPS increase. So on average if I added in Aero and Raging Strikes I would be doing around 185 DPS.

Do other classes do more? Maybe. But a good summoner is definitely capable of pulling their own weight in a group.

Are you sure you're playing a Summoner and not the base Arcanist?
