I do hate those summons in pvp, deals high damage and interrupts my attacks. But then those summoners are way higher than me(3x compared to 18), so I wouldn't know what happens if I were higher level.

 Spoiler

But even if they can summon twice as much summons, I won't hate it as bad as the pop up anti-bot box. Popping up in every single room after I clear all the mobs inside when I'm soloing, GTFO.

Summoners are a pain in team PvP - they get to run and hide while their team walls for them until the summons come into play. Each Summoner can crank out upwards of 7-8 summons, meaning a total of 2 Priests + 2 Summoners + 14 summons = 18 simultaneous threats for 4 people to worry about. Skills like Flamethrower are about your only hope in this case, esp considering most of the summons have ranged attacks (some hitting wide areas) or can cause status afflictions. The upside is that if they burn through their mana they cease to be a threat in the slightest. The monks having 2 buffs up (presumably 1 attacking and 1 defensive buff) and healing mean that at least half of the 18 threats (assuming most stay in/around the buff circles) will be stronger than usual as well.

Even if you devote 2 people to dealing with the 14+ summons, you are still leaving 2 people to combat 4. There doesn't seem to be much you can do in this situation, at least until you have your absurdly powerful Awakening skills capable of mass damage to large AoEs.

Basically, the idea is to maximize the benefit of the buffs/healing and to simultaneously maximize the potential of each and every summon.[/COLOR]
