Having read their vision, I'm suddenly more worried than usual.

They honestly thought it would be a good idea to make a job where you replace your own melee and 5+ abilities, with a pet with a single ability?

I'd agree, if they gave us split timers. Then I'd view the job as "Stand back, let the avatar use plenty of abilities like a normal job". Well, I'd get bored and melee anyway, but at least I'd understand SE. As it is now, it is like trying to listen to a childs goo-goo-gaa-gaa and try and understand.
