Another Summoner thread

[AxlYin]

Then you get to the primals and start fighting them like, OH MAN IFRIT LOOKS BADASS! I CAN'T WAIT TO SUMMON HIM! Wait.. what's this little........spritely, mildly menacing, fire elemental? THIS IS MY SUMMON? WTF?! And to top it off, your summons just feel like... a passive. You have a couple of buffs for your summon, and that's it. Everything else revolves around the caster it'self.

Now don't get me wrong, I do understand the reasoning behind making the summoner it'self strong, as it helps balance upcoming PvP. But perhaps it was gone about the wrong way. I think there should be more interaction between the summoner and it's summon. For example, perhaps shave the damage off of the DoTs, and make it so that whenever you cast an ability, the summon does something as well.

Yet another person who either:

A) Didn't read the lore

or

B) Didn't do any research.

It could be both, too!

I don't mind the look of them plus like someone said, lore. It goes fine with the story, I wouldn't mind some sort of buff to our pets. I'm not looking for 170 potency on everything. I do like the idea of additional perks to our pets through dots. Or give our pets some more elemental like abilities, making Earthen Ward AoE or ifrit's counter AoE..would be wonderful, reduced recasts..all fun stuff.

I look towards the next patch see what we get adjusted!

Personally I think the summoner lore sucks. Currently doing monk and its a lot more interesting learning about battlefields and how it affects aether, the very planet, animals and even people. Plus the said history behind the battle too. Now that I think about it we don't really learn anything about the allgans or extra details about the primals like I was hoping for.

It was pretty much capture their aether, summon it and wack it over the head to tame it.

Maybe I am in the minority, but do people really care about storylines in MMOs? I for one couldnt have cared less in ffxiv or in ffxi and most people I talk to don't either.

Well there are some people who are interested I mean look at the lore forum. For me the lore of the class helps me get invested in it since I learn their background.
