Why is there no Summoner path on the new Delve gear?

[Herby]

It's really puzzling why SE does this.

SMN always gets the short end of the stick on gear. We DON'T NEED MAB or M.ACC for us, we need it for our AVATAR! so why is there only 1 Headpiece and 1 Pole that's useful for us from the whole of Delve while other jobs get a full useful set?

I'll probably get some Answer like "It's working as Intended" and I don't wanna shoot the Messenger if that happens but I'm really upset about this! (not to mention delve is only accessible for a few % of ppl on servers coming tonight)

Once you get the pole, you'll be wanting melee gear for yourself anyway.

Got the pole. It is nice, but with the 20 min cap on Field NM fights I feel a bit like a liability when I can only get a max of about 26 BP's off. Not going to cut it as a DD for the harder fights, and no one is bringing summoners as a support buffer. Time to level a DD class for Delve it seems.

I'm just hoping that the new SP abilities are released soon.

[Herby]

I somehow doubt that the ability to use 7-8 BPs in succession every hour will get us any invites in a meaningful event :/ we need more fundamental changes although the new SP ability is certainly welcomed, it's at least a step in the right direction ^^

If it makes you feel any better, the augment range feels very narrow compared to the huge range of magey things that mage jobs use. Summoner is just getting the shortest end of the already short mage-augment stick.

Or, maybe the end with cat poop on it. I'm not sure how these things work.

Yeah... why do I need get int + mind on the staff no matter what I do...

For Spirit Taker? ;p

I'm not getting anywhere near any of the Delve NM's to use spirit taker! Picked up the SMN delve helm today. Kind of depressing to have the only 2 pieces a SMN can use while my friends are talking about grinding out plasma for all the earings / rings / other armor and such they need. Really there is like 1 and 1/2 pieces of summoner gear since the helm seems to have no reason for me to augment it assuming the augments are as listed.

Greetings,

To give you all a better idea of what we have planned for the grips we announced for summoner, you can think along the lines of what the newly added Alternator does for puppetmaster’s automaton. Also, there will not be grips specific to each avatar, so don't worry about clogging your inventory with one for each avatar!
