Summoners broke?

[CrimsonGunner]

Im not getting all the summoner hate.Yes there's a lot going on with the job but its quite a strong job currently which is likely to scale better later into the expansion.
It's high skill high reward situation but incredibly fun to play.it may need a bit more potency tweaks but currently its hard to say.If SE not careful the job will get overbuffed in the right hands.
As for soloing non dungeon monsters and fates etc the job can burst down fate bosses quite fast and a decent leveled chocobo will keep you alive.Just try to avoid fates that spam unavoidable poison.

i don't mean to offend you but your joking right?

the job is anything but strong and a lot going on is an understatement.
the kit of the summoner is basically a jigsaw puzzle that the pieces aren't connected to each other.
the egi are weak,in fact they are so weak that the chocobo outburst them by miles with his auto-attacks in either of his stances which isn't right at all.
not to mention that most of the rotation with him can literally break ur fingers and your mind with how busy and how much handling u need to do right now just to do some damage.

the parts of his kit barely connected to one another and you barely have any flexability along side the fact that summoner need lots of preparations to execute decent dps(in comparison to other classes let along have max dps).
the job can be a strong and possibly scale better later on,but right now the kit is literally in pieces and each piece is basically its own thing,the only thing tying them together is being part of the job we know as summoner rather then each piece will have a bond and flow with each other inside the kit.

sorry if i sound harsh but i strongly believe that right now summoner isn't in its best,the kit need to be more meaningful and fluent and for that to happen it needs a lot adjustments and changes with his kit.
