Why are summoners so neglected?

[Silverquick]

One would think that if people wanted to stay as far away from FF11 like it was the plague they would agree to returning to classic forms which leaves me confused to these responses.

That's fine.... but half the people in this thread are talking about types of things that won't help the Summoner... or will only wreck it.

And they seem to be doing it without the really even knowing how the Job currently works or performs.

Lets be serious for a minute here... If the people here were only talking about a cosmetic "make this more cool looking" type adjustment. Yeah I could see it.

For example: Painflare is pretty weak on the animation side. It could stand to be spiced up just from a graffics perspective. And most people can't even tell when you kick in Aerial Blast from Garuda the graffic tell is that weak.

Secondly... the recast timer ON Enkindle (Aka what you use for those Ifrit/Garuda/Titan special Attacks akin to Deathflare/Teraflare) needs to be shortened to about 1 minute or less to bring it on line with Teraflare... this goes akin to the Deathflare/Teraflare rotation using the Aetherflow stacks (which allow Deathflare once every minute) and will even things out with other jobs at level 50 which is where the job needed help prior.

The things are already built into the base mechanics... but shallow people who only see "pretty things" can't tell when these things are happening or how good the damage actually is.

So really... the only things you REALLY need is all graffics related or "terminology" related... I mean things like... Blizzard 2 being re-labeled to something like Icy Breath of Shiva or something like that... but in the end its all the same... just a different name and terminology.

And they seem to be doing it without the really even knowing how the Job currently works or performs.
