SMN - Most Glaring Issues

[Angry_Evil]

Summoner literally the dragoon of casters. Except the utility they bring is tiny in comparison..

And most of our utility is dumb and pointless.
Oh oh here's another good one for ya - compared to 3.0 they didn't even give us ANY interesting skills in 4.0.
Heavensward really change summoner(without all this rebalance PR for 4.0). They gave us burst damage, several aoe skills, a lot of variations and ways to plan fights and use all our abilities. Then they buffed ruin3 to 200 potency and smn became on of the strongest jobs.
But in 4.0 they barely gave us anything. All skills before 70lvl are just meh and bland shadows of our old skills and barely add or change anything to the better. And on 70 lvl bahamut just feels like poorly designed DWT with huge dumb dragon that covers the whole screen. Literally no new ideas, no new spin on the job, only more of old stuff and nerfs...

We've gone from a dot class to an aoe+dot class to.. I don't even know, a ruin spamming class? A burst class? Summoner is the bard of 3.0--some people enjoy it, but some of us who've mained the job since it came out can't stand it anymore.
