I know what the lore around them is, My comment still stands though, they don't even compare to the other instances of summoning you mentioned.


I for got MNK. Because they removed Simian Thrash.
Summoner is the Job with the biggest problems. It just doesn't feel like a Summoner when most of the player's attention is focused on DoT management, only you only have to pay a little attention to your summon. Your DoTs don't help your pet and your pet mostly doesn't help your DoTs. As such, the pet ends up feeling unimportant, which is a big problem for the main pet DPS Job. It really needs to reverse that, so that the pet is the main thing you worry about and the SMN is mostly acting to support and control it.
As for other Jobs, I kinda wish that MNK was a tank (it was really tough back in FF1-5), that BLMs had more spell variety and support options, and that BRDs had a bigger focus on support. A NIN tank would be cool too, mostly because it works really well as such in Bravely Default.



Well, we could give egis the Death Knight treatment where their abilities do not do full damage unless you have X, Y and Z DoTs on the mob. I guess on paper it doesn't look bad, but I do think it would considerably raise the skill ceiling of summoner. Can't say if that's a good or a bad thing.Summoner is the Job with the biggest problems.

* The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
* Design ideas:
