Ultimately any Final Fantasy MMO can't have Summoner as a job because players can't let it be a job. If or when SE makes another MMO, every job needs a summoned monster skill. It's the only way it'll ever work.
I feel like my SMN is a mix of several ideas put together instead of a SMN itself and it's suffering because of Arcanist.
SMN should be a standalone class.
Bio and Miasma don't fit at all
