Why is Summoner the most ignored, misunderstood and broken job?

Ducal Guard doesn't remove the necessity to kite.

On many NMs, and all other mobs, it does. Here's one that you should be able to kill without ever resummoning: Sedna. "Necessity" increases proportionally to sucking at the job.

That too, but i like the Emp staff for its shininess also because I'm after certain drops from both Kukulkan and Sedna at the same time. to each his own and to suit your goals, i'd say.

I'm not a SMN, and yet you are the troll wanting the staff I own. Just remember what my shadow looks like.
