Scout, Caster, Pet. Which class would you want next?

We have mages, we have melee and soon support classes.
What this game glaringly lacks is a pet class, in fact I was absolutely flabbergasted a MMO launched without one.

Yoshi-P sir, please hurry with the pets! Summoners, beastmaster, wyverns (oh my!) This is what I've really been holding out for.

Two is not enough. Versus the other disciples which already have 5 classes, which are all very different. Where as, until the job system comes out, Thaumaturge and Conjurer are practically the same, minus heals.

Edit: And the poll isn't even going to be fair. The first poll showed players are largely melee players, so when it does go to poll... Thank you all you meleers that have 5 classes to level versus 2 disciples of magic.

I respect your comment for being someone who likes to only play mage classes, but I'm a player who only likes to play pet classes. So really it's melee lovers have 5 classes to level, magic lovers have 2, support role players will have 2 eventually (whm and bard) but pet class lovers have 0...

It will most likely be beastmaster. The last time summoner was mentioned they didn't know how they were going to handle it as. Versus Beastmaster which can be pure melee and be less stressful to worry about. Beastmaster, unless they call it something else, will most likely fall under Disciple of War, just like scout, so it will probably make it 6 DoW, 2 DoM.

Again I refer you to the part where Yoshida said he wants to add more mage classes before more war classes because that's what the game needs:

Then why bother saying there's going to be a poll and we choose 1?

If you look at the game right now, the balance is more toward physical attack classes with very few caster classes. Looking at MMOs, we realize that this is not a good balance to have, so the first thing that we're going to be doing after introducing the job system is probably introduce another caster class because that's what the game needs. We realize that currently, the game is lacking in a lot of crowd control type of spells, and we need these to make battles more strategic. To introduce these types of spells, we think one obvious way is to introduce a new caster class that's able to handle them.
