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

[Garota]

Well, Manibozho includes PUP and Mikinaak includes DRG & BST, all of these are pet jobs as well but Delve augment paths don't include Pet: Acc nor Pet: Atk. These augments would be more beneficial to these other jobs though. I think attack and accuracy would also be good for SMN's physical bloodpacts depending on the target monster being fought. But yeah, there are currently 14 different paths available which include:

Atk, Acc, STR
Acc, Atk, DEX
Eva, Acc, AGI
R.Atk, R.Acc, AGI
R.Acc, R.Atk, AGI
MAB, INT, MND
M.Acc, MND, INT
MP, M.Acc, MAB
Pet: MAB, INT, MND
Pet: M.Acc, MND, INT
MP, Pet: M.Acc, Pet: MAB
HP, VIT, INT
MP, VIT, INT
HP, MP, M.Def

As ridiculous as it may seem, I just figure why not let us choose any of those 14 different augment paths to fit our playing needs. It'd be funny to see augment types all the way from A to N, maybe extend that to Z! Nevertheless, I do agree with the OP though, I think it'd be amazing to see this on all 5 pieces of my Bokwus gear.

[1]Pet: MAB+13
[2]INT+10
[3]MND+10
<Type:I/Rank:15/NextRP:0>

I really don't see what's wrong with allowing SMN to have a total of Pet: MAB+75 on the full gear set when BLM, SCH, GEO can get a potential MAB+78 M.Acc+17 INT+70 with all 5 pieces fully augmented.

i think Paths are limited, they need to add more paths and diversify paths, MAB for light armors (probably just cor get the benefy but who know) or acc/attack for magges (those mages DD).

I don't think SE realises that straight MaB doesn't affect avatars, why else would they keep putting smn on gear that "only" has MaB on it like Witchstone?

[Mirage]

Because obviously, they are supposed to nuke with spells from their subjob!

learn to smn!

Stone II does more then my Titan's Stone IV. They were right all along! XD

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!

Wait, so why does SMN not have a path in Delve gear?

[Kiakasha]

waiting patiently on these grips, I was shocked alternator was so good... let's hope the development team shows summoner some love!

Good Question! It's Certainly nice to get some (vague) Info on the planned grips but it didn't answer my question ^^

Unlike artifact, relic, and AF3 type gear, Delve equipment does not have special job and ability enhancements.

As mentioned previously, however, we understand that there is currently a lack of pet enhancement stats on the Delve gear and we will be making adjustments to add these.

[Mirage]

Pet stats in general would work, as long as the stats are high, and that you add stats that are valuable to many types of pets, not just one or two.

Remember SE, there is a lot of catching up to do, just not a little bit.
