The dev team starts giving real summons with cool designs like bahamut and phoenix, the latter having a few unique spells on its own.

The community's response: "SMN now won't feel like a SMN because my pet doesn't take damage anymore".

You are only to blame yourselves if SE doesn't take you serious at this point.

its almost as if there are millions of players that have different opinions on how a class should feel and play ... its crazy that not all SMN have a hive mind with all the same opinion.

At 73 I'm doing just fine without a "Tank" pet. I still have Titan for Earthen Shield, Chocobo set to heal, and can even summon Bahamut without worry. Maybe you guys should actually level the job before passing judgement? Pets and summoning are a key part of the job, and very very important in the rotation. But hey, different strokes for different folks so play what you like.

Dumb question. Saw it elsewhere thought to bring it up here.

Is like the Level 15 Arcanist quest designed around using the Tank Carbunkle? Like there’s a mob of enemies and the quest expects your pet to hold some aggro.

How’s that gonna work out now?
