Summoners don't do good damage at all, they currently parse buggy and do more damage on parser than they actually are in game. SMN's aren't hard to play by any stretch, just very low damage.

No it's the other way around, the parser doesn't properly pick up the ticks of their DoTs which is just a problem with how the logs record stuff, so they actually do more damage than parsers say they do. As for the difficulty I don't personally find them hard since I've played DoT classes before, but some people have trouble a)finding the right rotation, and b)keeping up all the DoTs properly for maximum dps. That along with the pet, and their various situational skills, means it's a lot of micromanaging and lots of cooldowns to worry about in order to do well. So the average SMN is prob not all that good.

But let's get back to discussing how hideous the Darklight cowl is please... ;(
