What were the actual changes to summoners in FM you speak of? 10% to spectres? LoL.


Zombies (13 % more life) and spectres (10% reduction of all penalties) got buffed.



Why isn't this good for summoners?


The change was that they fixed a bug known as snapshotting for which summoners benefited massively from. For them it allowed them to have 1 6link; but have a different set of gems modifying each specter they ran. The common exploit for more conventional builds was by entering an area, cast auras wearing an Alpha's Howl, and then replace that helm with a more defensive one (or just one more suited for their build) that had identical gems and still keep the Alpha's benefits.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
