    I'm not offering a dumbed down version. We would still have all our DoTs and abilities. As far as our summon goes we CURRENTLY only press one button, and that's if you use garuda, otherwise it's like that turkey cooker infomercial "You set it and forget it".
    With what I am proposing at least now you are forced to interact with your summon and we would have some buffs to help the party as well. People will not have summon out all the time in battle because they will cost MP to have out.
    Considering there was not much time to test SMN before game releases I think these discussions may actually lead to a change.

    "Not much time to test SMN", and what exactly is your point? SMN is working perfectly as it is now.

    "X class wasn't available for a lot of testing, so it should be changed even though it's working perfectly and lots of people enjoy the playstile". What you don't get, is that you can't change one thing about a class without affecting other aspects of it. It's not as simple as adding a summon that drains mana. You can't do a complete overhaul for personal gains, there has to be a fundamental problem, and in this case, there isn't.

    In reality, there's not even an arguement here. People always complain about things they don't like. Just because you in particular don't like something or want something to be changed, doesn't mean it'll be changed. And in this case, nothing's going to change. You certainly can't hand out "buffs" effectively nerfing personal DPS, when this isn't even a support class. You already have to interact with your pet, if you're not, then you're a bad player.

    I suggest rerolling.

    Please tell me exactly how you "interact" with your pet? You put on DoT's and press one button to contagion the mobs. Wow all that interaction just blew my mind!
    With the lack of time to test it I mean that they did not have any idea how users would react to the way the job plays. To say that talking about the problems that you have with the class will do nothing is simply you being a Debbie Downer. People expressing their feeling about the game in the official forums is what COULD lead to either changes or shape the way the job grows in the future. I know that changes would not be easy but it is by no means impossible. Why couldn't you hand out buffs and nerf dps on smn? Technically there are NO support classes. BRD is dps "technically". SMN already has awesome dps why not scale it back and give some buffs?
