Essentially I'm lazy! SO DPSers, I was wondering how Summoner's damage was. And is it worth it to level it, or should I start from scratch with something like a Lancer?
Lancers are fabulous. I'm really enjoying it myself despite the fact I have no idea what I'm doing! It's all a matter of personal preference, though - I've tried conjurer and archer for the sake of a ranged DPS class and I'm not enjoying it as much as I'd hoped. That said, I'm on the ps3 and kiting as an archer just looks...a bit silly.
From what I gather summoners aren't that great for burst damage. I'm told you all just spread diseases...and then wait.
Of course I might be slightly biased towards lancer what with it being my main. I've levelled a bit of pugilist too, that's also quite fun - I guess in the end it boils down to whether you want to play melee or ranged.
Just my opinion on that, though! I'm really quite bad on the DPS side of things (who am I kidding, i'm bad at all of it ;__; ) but I figured i'll throw what I've learned and/or heard of so far at you. c:
