Bard and Wanderer's Minuet use it

[LazyC]

Would you accept a summoner or scholar not using their pet because they "don't like managing it"?
A paladin not turning on shield oath when tanking because "I can hold aggro just fine"?
etc etc

The price you're paying isn't just what you're paying - it's what you're making everyone else that you play with pay too, because you're choosing to sabotage your own capabilities, so they have to make up for yours.

not that i directly agree either way overall ( i do dislike WM but whatever)

but this comparison doesnt work, summoners deal with pets right from the start 1-60 (i think? do they? never played one), and if they dont like dealing with pets then they wouldn't bother leveling it all the way to 60.

Paladins obviously get shield oath far later then they probably should(no idea why SE did this) its early enough that you get very used to it and it doesnt change how the class plays by having it on, like WM does.
