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

[Senliten]

You nor I have any idea what they have planned for the job to make absolute statements like that. MMOs are constantly evolving. Who knows what this game, or more specifically SMN, will be like 5 years from now.

True, but I do know from past experiences that most classes that have a foundation, are set in stone and are never 100% re hauled, because the investment in such rehaul to appease a mere 'minority' is to much a risk and waste of dev time. Which lets be honest, it's common sense now and days unless XIV is yer first mmo, to know that Hell, name one class in ANY MMO that had a MAJOR CLASS OVERHAUL and not end with catastrophic balancing results, only to put future content on the back burner.

So I still will say 5 years from now, summy will stay the same, and just minor things like egi's or reskins will simply be done.

Wanting a better aesthetic for summons isn't wanting 11. Its wanting a better aesthetic for summons. They are quite hideous compared to their primal brothers.

Akiza is asking for scaled down primals about the size of characters, which is apparently (from what i've seen, never played but gotten screenshots) what it was in 11. so Exstal's statement is correct

It will still be a DoT caster with pets. Name one game that has completely overhauled a class. Even when the warlock class was revamped for MoP, the core class stayed the same. There is no reason to think the devs are going to completely rework a class that by all accounts is playing just fine.

Except that we know it'll keep the core mechanics it currently has as Delily stated.

Or it's a 2nd job for MRD/PLD

Way to crush dreams friend :/

Does anybody really care about the base classes though? Honestly. I find them to be uninspired and don't contribute to the game, I think that's what the dark knight having no base class is saying. But I guess we'll have to wait for the Gun Job to be revealed first

Its "no base class", not "no new base class" meaning its Dark Knight from 1 to 60.

Yoshida even said that after you installed the game you probably will be able to play a Dark Knight right away.

Not quite correct here.
The summonings in FF XI were up to 2-3 times the size of a rogaedyn.

Im all in for hyur-sized egis.

Must be because FFXI avatar where the same size of the primes you fight:

[Akiza]

The Avatar Pet in Final Fantasy XI was the same size and appearance as the Avatar we fought except the lore said we summon a portion of the Avatars power and it is a projection of the True Avatar. The Egis are a portion of the Primals power except they look like a Roaster with horns, a chicken nugget and a deformed parrot.
