    FFXIV has it's own SMN and people just won't accept it. How can you not hate how it plays but want to completely change how it plays to make it "better", at the same time?

    SMN's direction is fine. We have Bahamut. He pew pews and bang bangs maybe later we'll get more like him. Maybe not. But that's the direction SE wants to go and people love it. Or else SMN would've got flipped like 4.0 BRD. Now after 4.1, SMN is even BETTER.

    From what I gather here, you're fine with its gameplay but its also clear you don't care about its identity. We do. If we didn't, we wouldn't be complaining as much as we are now.

    I find it ironic that you find that its great just the way it is, despite still glossing over what I mentioned before about egis: Titan is still not seeing light of day and Ifrit is now the one with more gametime. This just reinforces my belief of what I stated in the first paragraph.

    I don't share the opinion that FF14's SMN should play out like a carbon copy of some past game. I do share the opinion that it should expand on its current gameplay. Trancing Baha and now summoning him is great. But it could go further. It could have trancing Ramuh, Shiva, Levia. It could get our first egi trio share more or less equal game time at capped lvls.

    Overall from what Ive seen from fellow SMNs, we want the SMN aesthetics to be very present in our gameplay. That's the main core of our argument.

If you're capable of healing DRK back in ShB (or any tanks), then you'll heal EW DRK just fine.
