Who manage their pets ? uhm...let me see...good SMNs maybe ? If you don't manage it, you're just plain bad and you should stop being a SMN.

Our SUMMONS, yes they are summons, do 20% or more of our DPS, it's a lot. Try not using your pet and see if you don't need your pet to do damages.

And yes I did play FFXI, and god I don't want to return to the SMN of this game, I don't want to be a sub-WHM, thanks
FF11 SMN had its flaws, but it did one thing right which was diversify the pet abilities. I never said it should heal obviously SCH is there for that, there are other ways to do DPS indirectly its called "buffs" and SMN brought utility like garuda AOE blink skill. Not every DPS class has to be solely DPS, AKA BARD. I guess everyone's happy to be stuck with Garuda till the End of this game's life. Sure lets manage Contagion every minute when I have all my dots on the target..
