Any summoners left?

High Allagan Summoner Checking in /hipster

I can say besides whm (which I main now because my raid's group setup changed for 2.4-I miss SMN already ;;), SMN is the only DPS class that I can thoroughly enjoy for hours on end. They actually have the least 'set' rotation out of all the dps classes, especially compared to BRD/BLM, refreshing dots at certain times of expiration and acting as support in tight situations to swiftcast rez.

Also bane/fester crits in pvp destroy ;)

I guess if you don't like SMN don't play it, but really do you have to make a thread about how you don't like it? Seems really unnecessary. You also better run before all the other SMNs flock in and drill their horns into you ;)

When did the summoners leave? I think they sure lost the memo.

I play summoner mostly in pvp but sometimes dungeons (silly nexus so im doing them all as healer now)
I think its my favourite class

I'm in the same boat as the poster at the top of this page - SMN is the job I love more than anything, but due to raiding reasons I'm stuck as WHM. I gear my SMN as well as I can (it was 110 BiS minus the HA weapon for months pre-2.4), but not being able to play it in a progression setting kills me.

It's very versatile and fun. People just don't notice because the DoTs and their ticks don't have needlessly flashy animations attached to them.

Yes! It's satisfying seeing those 2k plus fester crits in dungeons too.

I have SMN as main (through primary ACN skill)

I saw the title and thought this was an Akiza thread. But still wasn't disappointed. I'll just stick to dotting everything up and doing sweet damage.

Newbie sumn here checking in :D . Putting aside shiny new patch content being shiny and new and of course everyone wants to focus on that right now instead of older stuff like summoner, I am not tired of it at all.

I don't see how it can be dull. If willing, you can put your pets on obey and use their abilities. Additionally being able to raise others, especially healers is very usefull. Titan is a decent tank if your party lacks one.

Summoner here! I have been since I started playing (five months ago?) and I have been loving it. It combines two of my favorite aspects of past MMO experiences, pets and DoTs, and I love the lore around it. I much prefer it to WHM (Which is Level 50) and SCH. Compared to BLM (Which is level 26... I only played to get Swiftcast, and I have no intention of taking it any further! It was just... boring, in my opinion.) it is heavenly to play. I will admit, I have just started playing Lancer and that is really fun too. Will it be my new main? Why knows. Either way, SMN will always have a soft spot in my heart.
