The whole Summoner "has been re-worked" is sad

[Galand]

I've just realized that this is a perfect example of how the internet will complain over anything. People don't like the fact that SMN is "too weak" and yet they complain when it gets abilities that boost it's damage capabilities. People don't like the way that the egis look but then complain when it's announced that there are future plans for egi glamouring rather than introducing new raw summons. People don't like the way SMN plays yet continue to play it when they have plenty of other classes to choose from....

I don't get what YOU dont get, simply giving us a Bahamut stance dosnt make us some godly powerhouse nor does it fix the 100 broken aspects of this job, open your eyes

Chill, we don't even know how potent the skills are.

Edit:

Yes because ontop of having to dodge the split second one hit attacks this game has for all the end game fights, i also want to manage where my pet is standing while also trying to compete for dps, your right, sustain and place is all I need

You want to keep your Egi alive, correct? Then make use of those two skills to keep it alive. You can command your pet while moving and also weaving it between GCDs. If I can do it on the controller, then you can as well.

Edit-Edit:

Do me a favor, go do the final boss of keeper of the lake and tell me how much time you spend using place and sustain

Rarely. Smartly place the Egi in the correct place and they won't take too much damage. Sustain for unavoidable AoEs. Excuses, excuses.

Yes "excuses", let me put my dunce cap on.

Oh wait, terrible game design where I have constantly micro manage my suicidal pet at all times is engaging gameplay! How could I possibly want more as a summoner! Oh wait iam getting a bahamaut face and a beam of light! WE HAVE IT ALL FOLKS

BEST JOB EVER, I can see it now, people must be lining up to re-roll

Bad design does not justify bad play. You call it a terrible game design because you're not using all the tools given to you and pushing blame onto the battle design instead of adapting and learning. You're just giving excuses to be lazy.

No you are being completely unreasonable on purpose. Go make a video of keeper of the lake where you are not spending half of your time using move and sustain to desperately keep your egi alive instead of trying to keep yourself alive and keeping your damage rotation up.

You are being lazy and making up excuses (see how easy that is?)

[AdamFyi]

Snip.

You want to keep your Egi alive, correct? Then make use of those two skills to keep it alive. Learn to (Sustain) and (Place). Stop being lazy.

FROM THE DIGEST SUMMARY
"However, I’m sure many are wondering if they will have to continuethat looking at the same egi forever, but we are planning to add a system in the future that will allow you to change the appearance of your egis, including Carbuncle, but their stats will remain the same."

Egi glamour so most likely new egi appearances plus carbuncles!

"Continue looking at the same Egi forever. " Like I love how they just flat out are admitting here that they know that summoners end up using the same Egi all the time but instead of addressing that by adjusting how the Egis function, they just decide to let us glamour it. You don't see why some people are unhappy with this?
