For SMN, the answer is always no.

Fixed that for you.

I mean, given the choice between a melee SMN and...well, anything else. Which would you rather have?

SMN haste mule, can hastega his party and just rotate haste on everyone else in the alliance. Would probably prove to be more useful than anything and mp conservative if the SMN was competent enough to do it.

That is because they still haven't understood why DRKs are so dumb that they do not sub BLM for it.

sub rdm! . .

[Leonlionheart]

Does anyone else find it rather ironic and insulting that SE has such a huge boner for DRK casting magic, and they haven't even pulled down the zipper on their pants so to speak:

And given us magic attack bonus I?

Just sayin'.

After discussing it so much...

I have no idea what SE could possibly want for DRK.

"Here guys have a FREAKING AWESOME GREATSWORD WITH A WS WORTH USING EVEN THOUGH IT DON'T CRIT"

"Here guys, have a 3minute long, 25% JOB ABILITY haste ability, so you can get TP super fast."

"Guys we think it's about time you stopped WSing all together. Auto-Attacks is where DRK is at."

That's what I'm saying, I can't see myself inviting a SMN melee to anything.

[Supersun]

I think you are missing his point.

You aren't inviting a summoner to melee. You are inviting him to do summoner things.
His meleeing simply supplies him with a virtually endless MP supply.

The only issue is that White Mage has been able to this since Mystic Boon and the same reason they aren't in the front wacking things for unlimited MP are the same reasons a Summoner shouldn't be...well maybe minus the enmity issues.

A well geared SMN doesn't need to melee to keep MP up indefinitely either.

Exactly white space

On the other hand, a well geared SMN doesn't have to stand in the back either. The whole argument of "doesn't have to" is pretty meaningless when it is something you want to do anyway.

That is like saying "You don't have to win the lottery"... but you wouldn't mind it, would you?

I wasn't saying never melee. I was responding to a post that meleeing will give you unlimited MP. Which is like saying "Hey let's go out for steak", while you're eating steak.
