Mark my words- in one month most ppl won't be complaining anymore and Ranger will still be used about the same amount and to about the same effect. Same shit happened with SMN and look how that nerf turned out...
SMN is pretty fucking horrible now, relatively speaking.
It's used...significantly less.
I haven't leveled SMN so I can't speak to its capabilities as they are now, but sometimes things being used less is not because it's objectively bad, but comparatively bad. Summoner also seems a little harder to quantify versus other classes because of how it's utility and damage work. How do you know the "DPS" a SMN is bringing in when it casts Hastega and Rolling Thunder.
If SMN hadn't been overpowered to begin with, Summoners probably wouldn't feel under-powered now, they'd just feel..normal.
Not saying that is the case here, like I said, I've never played summoner pre- or post- nerf. I do remember joining the server though and hearing about how ridiculously strong SMNs were, compounded by the fact they could take that power to ToAU zones when no one else could other than BSTs.
