though taming monsters in FFXIV wouldnt be as satisfying as in FFXI i'd say ;D Since the monsters are more or less trash mobs ;D
A class that can do everything? So Summoner can do everything, too. Because the SMN has a tanking pet? ;D
Im quiet wondering from which MMorpgs most of you are coming from. But PUPP worked well in FFXI. and it wasnt like that that a PUPP could replace a RDM, BLM only because he had a small semi version of these.. ;XD And a PUPPET couldnt replace a healer either... it healed just frome time to time. and not spamming like an elios pet. primarly all puppets are there for adding damage to the puppet.
You can pick a puppet concerning the current situation for small extra stuff.. with a WHM Pupp you would have a low damage magic pet, which from time to time could heal in tricky situations.. but therefore you have very low DPS, but still you would be a damage dealer. With a RNG pet out you would increase your damage and as for the party members drastically.. but you wont have support at the same time.
i played so many MMorpgs with summoners that are damage dealer and had the possibility to summon a supporter pet (but therefore decreased their damage at the same time).. And no one ever would come to the conclusion that the enchanter in "Dark Age of Camelot" is a healer or can "do everything".
just because the class had a caster, a tank and a healing pet... and damage spells..
in FFXI you would never ever heard a person saying that PUPP is a class that "can do everything". its a matter of balancing out. How often can a puppet use an abillity, with which potency and with what casting speed etc.
Its pretty said that we came the WoW way... that it seems out of imagination for people that a class has some variation in their reportoir. A Bard can also do damage and support the party with songs and nobody complains.
