Summoner has some real problems

[Stormblessed9000]

(1) The physick is either broken or at least it's no help at all from level 50ish. At level 10-15 ACN it does about a 20% of HP recovery with the quest gear. Nothing special just leveling up. That's very cool. No argument with that.

Physic only exists as something to let scholars heal at low levels. It's a carry-over from the archanist base class and you should never use it as a summoner. You really do not need a propper heal as a DPS class. Almost all DPS classes can function just fine with just a few limited survival tools (yours is the titan shield). The only exception is RDM and they pay for it by having lower raid DPS.

(2) The pets [lets talk about Emerald Carby first] now....

You have other pets you can use. Otherwise just turn your pet on steady or pull mobs away before engaging like other classes do. Pre-50 solo content is not something that is hard enough to really be an issue anyway unless you are horribly under-geared.

(3) Not having a TANK PET is a big problem.
This was TLTP too long to post sigh

While this is somewhat disappointing, you don't actually need a tank pet for anything (unless they haven't fixed some job quests). No other class has access to a pocket tank in duties and they get by just fine.

If physick is a carry over, legacy mechanic, then the devs could and should have deleted it as of ShB. The devs went so far as to split Ruin 1+2 into 2 separate instances of the same ability depending on whether you're SCH or SMN, and Physick is technically also split. The devs added ARC skills like Fester at a level range where SCH should also get it, but they do not. At this point, legacy mechanics are no longer an excuse, the classes have been cut in half in almost every possible way at this point, and they have next to no actual overlap anymore, especially at 80.

This doesn't mean physick should exist on SMN, but what it means is that if it exists, it should be reasonably usable.

They actually sort of did, i had to requip it for summoner i tihnk or scholar, unsure which, but basically each has there own Physick now but still the same ironicly. So they sort of changed those? But forgot to adjust it or what?

BLM had drain .. took them 2 expansions to realise that stuff was useless to.
Give them an expansion more and Summoner will lose the physick to :P
