The chances of having another Pet class like Smn/Sch might be slime to non.

The only new Pet skill being a skill that kills your Pet for moar healing powah should give you the perspective of the Dev's opinions on pet classes.

Plus, the fact that Pet glamour is still not out yet even though it was announced back at the start of 3.0.

"Pet glamour? We forgot all about it!? Maybe next patch! For sure! Honest!"

GTFO of here with that shit already. Pffft. Before you know it the whole glamour is the real endgame is all the dev's are gonna talk about instead of I dunno focusing on the actual joke of a job class the Scummoner is. I mean as an affliction mage yeah it works but as a actual Summoning class? Complete. Joke.

Magius is mean.

I'm curious what are the major problems with Smn? I think I know a few...for one thing Ifrit-egi is still barely used even though the Devs said that they want all the pets to be used more. I used to be a Ifrit user myself until a FC companion of mine thought me the ways of Contagion and I haven't gone back since. Another problem I see is still Mana, but that might be more of an personal problem seeing that I'm an Mana guzzler and like to use Ruin 3 alot. The only other problem I see is that Smn is not all that great in a single target battle compare to say Blm. It's more of an multi-target killer, so it would be better to bring it to say for example an Bismarck Ex fight rather than to a Ravana Ex fight.

Remember Titan Egi and Ramuh Ex? Yeah they want you to use Pets alright.

Only thing they did was fix Radiant Shield for HW and maybe something else. Stuff that should have been fixed in 2.0. Plus those Tank Enmity changes? Did Titan Egi get enmity changes? NOPE.

All they see with the Pet is Garuda Contagion duty for the basis of DoT upkeep because it really is about spreading famine and disease and upkeeping it forever.

Reflected in the PotD sprite that shows only Garuda. Clearly the only one you should be using.

But what do they talk about? Egi glamour. EGI GLAMOUR.

The whole Titan egi and Ramuh ex thing is probably why they won't increase the enmity it generates, because it was allowing people to skip mechanics. So that's probably why we aren't going to see Titan egi anywhere else besides the open world.

They not only changed Radiant Shield, but also increased the radius on flaming crush. It used to barely hit 2 enemies standing next to each other, but that wasn't changed until 3.0.

I honestly think they are going to do something about contagion. The move is too good not to use, and with pet glamour coming out they are going to have to do something about it to make us use Ifrit just as much as garuda. I only see 3 outcomes from this:

1. They remove contagion from Garuda and give it to the player.

2. Remove Contagion completely

3. Ifrit egi gets his own version of contagion

But like I said they will have to do something about balancing the pets, and this is exactly why I think that Smn and Sch are going to be the only pet classes in this game. The Devs either hate pet classes or it just way too hard to balance.

Also the thing I find the saddest about the class is that when you google Summoner Ifrit egi is clearly the poster Egi, but yet they still have yet to make him just as viable as Garuda egi...

I REALLY WANT they FIX the actual pet first before they give new pet glamour! RIP Ifrit-egi.
