[Aikune7]

Sorry, i couldn't find a relevant topic to post this in. I cannot create topics as i said in the post as i am not high enough level on my main. I understand it is not the best place to post it but it seemed better than most.

Thanks for the edit tip. i'll remember it in future thanks.

They should add all black magic abilities to the Summoner with base white magic like cure ensua. Keep the Primal Egi's reduce the cd for enkindle to 150 sec and double it's attack power and add Elder Summon to summon the actual primal for 30sec it does it's own thing and when the timer is up it hits it's signature attack the then leaves with a 5min cd.

The cool down for enkindle really does need to be lowered and given more power.

Also when activating enkindle sometimes the enemy dies before it goes off and the skill still gets used without the egi performing the attack. A suggestion to fix this is have the skill only get used when the pet performs the action.

SE here's a thread full of feedback.

I'm taking a break from the game..

I'll be back when Summoner is implemented...... how ever long that takes.

The future of summoner needs to change in 3.0 to be honest with you summoner needs to become a iconic pet job it deserves and by doing damage by its pets alone. or you can keep it the way it is using DoT spells and abilities to make the spells stronger and let the pets do little damage from now till level 99 which i don't think the players and fans want.

What about the people that like the job as it is now? And people call me a troll for necro posting...

Some kind of a trait that turns any spell speed on gear into piety for smn only. Would be the perfect fix for a job with MP issues in the latest content at the moment and the job has never benefitted from spell speed.

I'm also one of these people, SMN has issues right now but it has nothing to do with what people like Lancet are asking for. I hope people like him understand this will never happen because of the amount of people who use SMN in its current form. (And you're not necro-posting if you reply to someone else's necrobump)

More seriously
It is funny to see the feedbacks of players getting totally ignored since months about SMN in FFXIV
Latest wall of shame being this thread : http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-s-need-help!/

SMN is now not only handling a very poor itemization and kind of left behind BLM when it come to a competitive DPS point of view, the community staff still continue to ignore us that's lame.

The most iconic job of any Final Fantasy is having bad times in FFXIV and probably just because of the share with arcanist and sch, how sad.

I would like to change the name of the summoner class to Witch, and make a new summoner based on a lot of opinions I've read on the forums.
I like how summoner works right now, but I feel like it would be better making a new class called summoner and making it more about it's summons than dots.

The Summoner in Final Fantasy XI was a nerfed White Mage and 4th rate healer. The Summoner in this game is a poor man's Black Mage and nerf DPS.
SE to The Most Iconic Job in Final Fantasy in history turned it into Black Mage left overs. The problem is right now we have an Arcanist with Summoner as the Sub Job and Scholar with Arcanist as a Sub Job. In order to correctly translate the Summoner into Final Fantasy MMOs SE should base them around Summoning Magic and Pets with another Mage DPS as a sub job.
