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

[JustMatt]

I think the problem here is that people wanted (expected) the Summoner to be the class and something like High Summoner to be the Job.

I cannot say I am overly fond of the state of the Summoner and thus, if given the opportunity, I would vote to have it reworked. However, I expect that it is far too late for Square to make any sort of changes to it or at least the changes some of people in this thread want.

Yes, summoner makes me sad. Its Warlock with less interesting pets.

Since the Ramuh-nerf, I'm having to Sustain more often, thus, lowering DPS.

You mean people were expecting the Evoker to be the class and Summoner to be the job.

if your pet is in melle range of your tank then you have bigger concerns than worrying about how much you need to use sustain, that or paid no attention to what was actually changed in the ramuh fight.

/sigh

I almost have nothing else to say to Azika, just /sigh and /facepalm

[Bigcat9715]

Maybe if SE didn't focus on the Primals as bosses. We probably would have gotten them as pet.


TBH would like a complete redesign of the egi's just something.

Do I dare show people a quote of Akiza wanting TIME MAGIC for SMN of all spells to choose from?

Time Magic is more flashier and visual appealing for the Summoner base class than Arcanists Disease Mage.

WE INTERRUPT THIS THREAD FOR THE FOLLOWING UNPOPULAR OPINION! READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED!

I am fine with the way the FFXIV SMN is, both from an aesthetic and gameplay standpoint. Each mainline numbered FF is completely self-contained (those with sequels never break fully into another mainline numbered game), and experiences differ as the classes evolve and change with design/vision, implementation and setting/lore. The worlds are different, therefore, I am comfortable with the implementation of things being different, as well.

If the FFXIV SMN recieved an "overhaul", it would no longer be a FFXIV SMN. Also, lore would have to be retconned and/or discarded for this to occur, and, as we have seen already with the case of Phlegethon/Acheron, the devs aren't too keen on doing that.

I will continue to enjoy playing my FFXIV SMN.

THIS HAS BEEN AN UNPOPULAR OPINION! WE NOW RETURN YOU TO YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED SUMMONER BASHING THREAD!
