Summoner Summoning A+ yes please shoot the person that came up with the idea A-

[Alhanelem]

A lot of jobs don't have an A+ in their "main" skill, and not every skill has a job with an A+ in it. For example, the Geomancy, Handbell, Singing, Wind Instrument, and String Instrument skills are all C.

There is a reason though. songs effect are based on the sum of singing and instrument skill, and geomancy is based on the sum of geomancy and handbell skill, resulting in an effective skill level much higher than even A+ .

Summoning magic skill is never compared against an enemy's resists, so it's not needed for that purpose, whereas a skill like elemental magic, the rating is more important because it direclty determines how likely your spells are to work.

While I don't understand why summoning magic being A- would trigger such a rage-induced post, any increase certainly would be welcomed, since it doesn't really harm any balance- though I hope the OP understands that doing this would NOT increase the duration of blood pacts, which are based on the amount of bonus skill points you have, not on total summoning magic. Perfect defense is the only exception as the duration is based on total summon skill.
