Should Summoner...

[Saggo]

There WAS a proper way to play SMN, that's not anecdotal, no matter how many summons you chose to use at the expense of doing better.

Subtle, unfounded, and unnecessary.

I have no doubt a majority of players played SMN that way, it's easier, simple. That doesn't mean that was best utilizing your avatars, and there are still good lessons learned about the way 11 SMN could be and was played (my experience wasn't unique either).

I wasn't being subtle. You were either misinformed, didn't seek the knowledge or just flat out chose not to make simple choices to improve what you could bring to the table. It was necessary to say because this entire thing is about how you're saying every summon was the right choice, which isn't true. Very founded because the numbers never lied. Shiva and Garuda were the proper summons at that point in the game, you could choose other summons but why? Why when those 2 could do more damage even at elemental disadvantage.

Trust me when I say that SMN would have loved to have had every summon at their disposal (Optimally), don't be silly. Simplicity and ease had nothing to do with it. There was nothing hard or complicated about the elemental wheel.

But you do you, Boo. We've already agreed that XI doesn't have a place in XIV so we should probably try to stabilize this thread before we take it further off track.
