I mean, it doesn't really affect me anymore. I class transferred to elemental summoner. All solo mobs level 60+ (at FoM/blazing swamp) have 1x-2x hp, which are perfect for my level 35 nuke. If they were 3x+ hp then it would be better to use melee, but all those mobs are in LOA and it'd be suicide to go in there. It affects phantom summoners much more, since they don't have a recharge pet, and a lot of solo mobs debuff/stun/aoe hit now. If beast shots were introduced now, I probably wouldn't use them. Its much more efficient just to solo nuke everything. I'm actually interested on their stance on this as well.
