Arcanist and Summoner: a possible solution

[Nizzi]

I'm glad dots are gone. Please stay gone. I do not miss them at all. I like this version of summoner better than the previous one. I hope we get more primals in the future. Even ogcd ones. I hope square doesn't fold and just builds on this reworked version. Just my opinion. I'm so excited for the AST rework coming in 6.2 just to see the forums flooded with "Why did they do this to AST" "We didn't ask for this" lol. Gonna be great.

Being excited for the potential misery of others getting something they loved taken away from them is totally normal and well adjusted behavior. Just my opinion.

I really don't get people. It's as if they see "Summoner" in the title and assume this is just another useless complaint thread about Endwalker SMN xD I've said it already and I'll say it again if I have to: we're NOT here to say "delete new Summoner and go back", nor "forget old Summoner and accept the new one". I know it sounds like a cheap political slogan, but I really wish to find a solution that makes most players happy. You don't like DoTs and love Endwalker Job design? Good for you — and I'm 100% serious, no sarcasm whatsoever. However my point — and the point of this thread — is: how can we make the rest of the people happy to play as well? The mental scheme should not be "give-and-take" but "give-and-give".

Also, as many other comments have pointed out in this thread and in the other ones, liking new SMN doesn't mean being blind to its very obvious imperfections. Keep in mind that likes and dislikes are ultimately a subjective thing and constitute no argument at all. In respecting everyone's tastes we should also recognize that different people have different preferences and this discussion is not directly about that — rather it's about finding the solution which is objectively better for the majority. And that solution is to keep, preserve and perfect both styles of play.
