Adding fuel to the fire, Summoner's future

[Dwill]

Making the Summoner a Pet based job would mean that players would have to be good because a Pet Based job requires a lot more player skill then a Dot based job. As for terrible players the Dot Based Summoner we have know is designed for ease of use since any player that can maintain dots and Aetherflow which is easy can have high dps.

Q22: Currently, the summoner job is a DoT-focused job, but I want them to be more of a pet-focused job. Are there any plans to change the design of the summoner job?

A22: Controlling the pet would require a lot of player skill so it might be hard to find a good overall balance.

That statement means that there would be a mass amount of terrible summoners, even more so than there currently is.

Actually what it means is if they made the Summoner a pet focus job it will require real skill instead of my dot has 4sec left time to refresh.

You can barely play this version of SMN. What makes you think you'd be able to handle a pet-focused one?

So basically, a massive influx of terrible summoners. Which is what was said.
