SCH pet glamors?

Not talking about the class "power" as a DPS, talking about the class in itself, the way it was designed and how they screwed the summoning part in summoner.

::rolls eyes:: too

You can't call "Summoner" a class that gives you only 3 different pet to use and focuses on DoT, especially considering the background of SUM in FF history (juste take Yuna from FF10 for instance, 10 different Eons, each one with it's "personality").
That's not a SUM, that's, at best, a "kawaï necro" because SE does not want us to play with dead things while using diseases as our main way to DPS^^"

Sounds more like you are upset that you can't have the full size Titan at your right hand or Garuda at your left. Honestly, if SMN was implemented the way you appear to wish, the balance of jobs would be destroyed, not because of the job's power, but because of the ridiculous amount of effort that would be poured into that one job.

Imagine Summoner had come out in 3.0 instead of 2.0. Instead of Machinist we got Summoner, it's identical to Machinist except the turrets look like Ifrit and Garuda and the job quests go on about the mighty power of your fearsome "primals".

It would be a good class, sought after for raids, but it would be a pretty rubbish version of Summoner. Not everything is about the numbers.

Except allowing players to summon real primals would break the lore and logic of the setting, it would also make SMN the only job to play since who would want to play anything else if there is a job that let's you bring forth a real primal at your command? I honestly think that sticking to that kind of expectation for Summoner is really unrealistic, and complaining about it now to defend a lopsided pet glamour, just comes over poorly - IMHO.
