The reason Summoner needs revamp threads keep popping up

I found it kinda funny that you say u google FF summoner it is not like what we have now.... summoner in every FF game has been different. What is a negative status effect mage anyway, only virus/E4E effect enemy negatively. It is a dot based pet class, like in every other MMO.

Wrong Summoners have always used summoning magic as a base if you read the general description its that they were always either an equip ability or the sub job of a White Mage never their own job. Also Summoner's always had impressive summons which makes the Summoner in this game look like more like weak compared to other jobs.
