    I do too love the new SMN.

    But hey, I think it's the job's fate to have the playerbase divided on it, no matter how it is designed.

    My only gripe right now with the job is the base carbuncle that does nothing. I wish it was a cosmetic spell so it would be optional, I feel their animation of popping in and out after every other egi/demi is a bit distracting, let alone the fact that the party buff and your personal shield are attached to its presence... I miss a LOT of opportunities to use that shield because something happens I'm either in demi phase or right on that moment where the egi comes to perform their move.

    Thank you!! I have been trying to figure out how that carbuncle attacks! I actually stopped playing it last night, only lvl 20, but it's meh. BUT, I tried it very, very briefly before the change with the dots and 'attack everything surrounding one target' carbuncle attack. And didn't even make it to lvl 20. I was planning on quitting the job all together. The only thing I would say is by the time my little red/yellow hit the target, I could finish it off with one quick ruin, but I wait for it to hit so not to waste it and have fun with it.

    You guys must love Ruin IV spam. But hey, at least its pretty to look at and fits your arbitrary definition of what a summoner is right? Gameplay be damned.

Meanwhile those who enjoyed it before feel alienated.
