[Pole] Do you want to see the summoner class reworked?

[Vashous]

Consider this though. This playstyle would not go away. It would simply be moved fully to the arcanist class. I am not suggesting that this class be removed from the game, but instead that the some of the skills that do not relate to summoner at all, like Fester, just be moved to arcanist and we get a rework on the summoner class.

To this argument I refer you to this post: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...grade-from-ACN
Where a much more put-together argument is made and really should be read by everyone playing summoner.

I say YES...summoners were once reveared as one of the most powerful classes out there because of the mighty creatures they once called into battle...now we just get these rinky dink thinks called "Egis"....really?

[Kenok]

Yes, it's just flat out underwhelming class. Skills suck.

SMN is AWESOME! It should not be changed AT ALL! DoT class is amazing, DPS is amazing, multitask utility is amazing. PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE SMN due to the QQ of the folks that can't learn to play it correctly.

This class has been implemented phenomenally. Only thing that I feel needs to be tweaked is the radius of BANE.

[Kevee]

No.

I love the current SMN.

[XNihili]

I like the current SMN but I wouldn't mind if they buff the Avatars quite a bit.
They could even increase the DOT duration so we have more time to micromanage them.

[Umbral]

AHAHAHA yeah make your little pole. Im sure the devs would get a good laugh.

[MyMe]

Yes.

Would love more focus on summons, rather than DOTS.

[XenabelleS]

I like it so - no.

I would like avoidance of aoe damage for my egis but garuda makes that better.

[Karnage720]

Saldly, I would have to say no.

I actually like the way it is now, not classic SMN but a whole new class altogether which is probably pretty strong.

The problem with the class/job is that people play it by ruin spamming and that's not how it was designed. Also, I don't think they can make the pets stronger at this point. It is already one of the highest DPS, going by others accounts not mine, so buffing the pet would make SMN overpowered.
