Jobs you feel yoshi and team got wrong

[Duelle]

let's say they have done the Summoner like in FFT or any previous game:
- summoner summon ifrit for he launch a fire attack and disappear. it deal fire damage to the target for X potency.
- Black mage cast Fire. it deal fire damage to the target for X potency.

that sole example resume all, make the summoner "summon" an primal for launch an attack is not different than a black mage simply casting the spell. the damage and function of the spell is the same.

I need to preserve this so that I can paste it every time someone decides to complain about summoner.

because, any one that did play a full pet class in other game know this, when the pet is down... you become totally useless and in high level encounter it can happend often.

Not to mention that by endgame those type of pet classes become burdens to raids because they could be filling that spot with someone whose damage won't drop by 3/4 after the boss AoEs.

I'd much rather have had Summoner be about summoning.

The current situation where you just summon Garuda-Egi (or is Ifrit finally worth a damn these days?) and micromanage one pet skill while 90% of the Job is Ruin/DoT rotation just isn't Summoner to me...

Would have been better if they didn't go for a Mage/Melee/Tank archetype for the pets and instead made it so their abilities aren't on a shared cooldown, meaning it becomes more appealing to switch them out frequently to maximize damage. All they'd need to do is provide additional tools for quick summoning (because just Swiftcast doesn't cut it), or better yet just have the actual summoning be an attack that spawns the Egi, rather than just spawning the Egi.
