Summoner is a Final Fantasy 14 summoner (not a warlock wow clone)

God, if only people had hated the old Summoner for sensible reasons. You don't like dots or pets? Fine, whatever. But this posing around "Oooh, this is not a REAL Final Fantasy summoner" is so pathetic.

I present to you this ancient meme that was relevant up till recently. These egis were an eyesore and the fact that most of summoner's damage came from poison spells instead of -summons- who looked terrible were some of the top complaints the devs addressed in this rework.

Bahamut and Phoenix took forever to build up to and the rest of the time we had to look at a flying chicken nugget. That wasn't cool, that was pathetic. Now that we are summoning one being after another with trance spells in between, we finally have the class fantasy that we always wanted. So yeah, in the context of the entire FF series, affliction warlock was by far the worst iteration of summoner.

Considering that the summoning causes a single instance of damage that is just a small portion of the future total rotation, the damage is now caused by summoning rocks and wind rather than your "garuda emerald" doing more than one whirlwind.

Ok, you were obsessed over this symbolic "wow big attack summons!" thing and you got it, fine. But the message of this thread seemed to be somekind of a high ground "And I WAS RIGHT!". No, people who think old Summoner was bad because of Egis were not right. They were just obsessed over something that did not matter.
