So about Summoner...

My problem isn’t what speed killing groups want, being versatile is a powerful trait. It’s when party finder groups with no intention of doing parse or speed runs such as for progression wall out jobs such as SAM or BLM and I’ve even seen RDM walled out for weekly clears though I’ll admit that this is more so an exception.

Yes ideally you could just have a group, however my main issue is when job balance keeps you walled out of the pf and SAM especially is going through this. I guess you “could” tell that Sam to play something else so that he could get into the party. But that’s taking a 1% approach to a 99% issue. As I’ve stated, job balance goes much farther than organized play. Mr.Happy makes a video saying RDM is the worse caster, people eat that up, DeleteSAM becomes a community meme. People eat it and you’ll start to see this in casual scenarios too. This is the reason why people are generally upset with balancing choices because it can indirectly effect them.
