SMN redesign in expansion?

[Brianmj]

ACN isn't going anywhere, because Sch still exist. If Sch didn't exist Smn would have gotten a real buff not a hotfix, and these didn't fix nothing if anything it made SMN mains angrier. What they should have done along time ago was remove Smn from ACN and turn it into job only class like how Dark knight is going to be, but they waited too long and now we got "buffs" like these. Smh, I can just hear all of the BLM mains just laughing while trying to keep a straight face.

But the people in this thread aren't for a buff like the ones in "why is Summoner the worst DPS" thread. These people are for a complete overhaul. Maybe the people in the other thread were pushing for a redesign, but in this thread, the agenda is clear. As long as ACN is the jobs base, I'm happy. I'm not doing FCoB yet, so it's hard for me to sympathize with what everyone is going through. The closest thing I can work with is in Frontlines: Secure, where when Drones (monsters) pop, and I have to race against other DPS in trying to down them, then the inadequacies of the job become apparent. But that is the only instance where I'm competing with other jobs. And it's not enough to take away from the enjoyment I get from playing Summoner. One of the issues surrounding all this is that, in PvE, the jobs are somehow competing with one another. I just can't wrap my head around that. Maybe this is due to me being a casual that raids. I don't know. "Job competitiveness" just doesn't hold anything over me, but maybe it does for you all. I really don't know.

BTW, you don't have to be a BLM main for that. When I woke up this morning and read the patch notes, I thought, "this is it?" Then I thought of you all, then I laughed. THM is locked at 26.
