Ok summoners, I get that you're the most played class int he game and really don't want to get the shaft... but its already something they are addressing to bring you on par. You are the lowest for multiple reasons.

Don't argue about dots cause guess what everyone has them and no ones dots are counted and yet... the other people are always above you on every meter that exists.

the only damage dealers that have it as rough as you are monks but thats a whole different reason based on their mechanics.

Don't stress it or freak out though I trust SE to totally address it, they are going to buff the minion which is really all you need. If the minions did more than 17dps you guys would be golden but their damage is just the opposite
