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.

When it comes to a new pet class, they could kinda cheat and still claim it if the pet itself was the weapon. As in they move with you and the attacks are nothing more than your characters waving/signaling/calling out commands that the pet instantly reacts too as if you performed the skill yourself. I mean, its an idea but don't know how many people would jump on that train or not, but this in turn would mean we ourselves would be doing nothing more than commanding and moving, not attacking alongside our pet.

I've made peace that Beastmaster probably won't be a thing in this game. If it is, it won't be anywhere near as exciting as XI's was, and that's okay.

I"d like to see them introduce "non-friendly PVE jobs" as PoTD type jobs, that are designed to be OP/unusable in a PVE setting but allow the user the flexibility to have a variety of abilities for POTD like content.

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

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.

More convinced that not only will there not be any pet jobs until a better standard control UI can be implemented for it, but also the main reason why Summoner hasn't gotten pet glamours yet is really because the 4.0 job overhaul is going to remove pets from Summoners so they can put more focus on the player and making it a tiny bit closer to much earlier versions of the job.
