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

[Karbuncle]

That Elvaan is new to this game and even he can see SMN Is one of the most underused, underappreciated, Fake-WHM sh*t stains of a job in FFXI. He's basically nailed every single flaw with the job. sh*tty Damage potential, restricted 45 second BP timer, Completely unable to buff them, Elementals Suck, the job is halfbaked at best and designed for a Era of content around RoTZ and was never updated to be more useful when the content design flow changed...

And yet this fact is entirely lost on the Dev team.

I'm speechless... It just infuriates me more knowing someone whos been in the game only long enough to get to level 60 can spot and point out every single reason the job sucks... and these points are completely lost to the development team.

Edit: Just to let you know, nothing changes when you hit 99. Avatars are still so pathetic I can out dmg them as SMN/WHM Meleeing with a staff... no I'm not joking I've done it more times than i can count, and You're still not invited to anything. The one thing we were useful for, Perfect Defense, has faded into obscurity since over the course of the last few years, the only update SMN has got is a Nerf to their 1 single useful bloodpact.
