Summoner changes that should happen onto 7.0

[ThorneDynasty]

It's really fucking dumb idea however to limit the one feature that makes a class not feel completely like a slow lobotomy to near level cap because muh lore.

I want some synergy with fester/painflare.
I want carbuncle out, radiant aegis to be cast by myself.
I want dots back, even a single dot and an aoe dot (bio can be single target and miasma be aoe).
Even if some people doesnt like it, i want more casting skills, too much instant skills.
I like Phoenix rekindle, but i want it aoe (so doesnt interrupt targeting), i want deathflare out, buff bahamuth damage and change deathflare for barrier, what i propose is, Phoenix gives healing and bahamuth gives barrier.
I want bahamuth and phoenix cast akh morhn/revelation inmediatly after being summoned, rather than using a button.

I want physick to be useful at lv 90 (maybe instant with a cd, a hot, etc...)

I want them to take a long look at what made old summoner enjoyable at every level from 1-80 and add if not it then an approximation. Also they should either entirely get rid of the pets or keep them and restore functionality. Currently it seems the big primals fill that spot (which is why carbuncle gets unsummoned) and miraculously it’s still possible to ghost inputs.

yes, give us 1 dot back (with miasma / spread again)..., that could be the a simple, effect & satisfying solution

+ it could give the dps increase smn could realy use @90.., it wont break smn cause of one extra dot..
(if too OP on lower levels, just decrease the timer length or / and potency @lower levels)

that is a painfull issue, maybe why smn are not doing the dps they should??

... eitherway, summoning the trio primals ghosts way too often (!)... or miss out on buffs last sec, due to the freaking long time between summon (button hiting) and actuall action (damage register)

this issue really shouldn't exist in the 1st place, thought one main fix for smn 6.0, was no more lag input.., but, but, but..

No to Bio and Miasma, for goodness sake those dots belong on Scholar. Not Summoner. Adding dots back will not provide anything in the way of unique or interesting mechanics. Adding new effects or abilities to Astral Flow however can offer more uniqueness per Summon and if we get the option to choose a select 3 out of more options, that will provide far more in the way of meaningful decision making.

I don’t mind having a DoT, but please keep the poison magic away from us… it doesn’t fit the job thematically in any way shape or form.

It honestly doesn’t even fit arcanist based off of the little lore tidbit.

A scholar using poison magic sounds tactical to me. I think it fits the DPS side is their kit.

That all being said, I’m not asking for DoTs.

SCH used to be a DOT mage and it perfectly matched their lore, 3.x SCH was such a well crafted job because of it, all of its kit synergised well with itself while also being thematically accurate, it is 100% the peak of this games healer design

It is, but that's what people asked for. Same with with completely removing egi/carbuncle synergy and replacing it with....

An offbrand Black Mage with Ressurection still attached to it. Removing any sense of synergy because people kept going on about "but in other final fantasies they just did the 1 attack and went to go get milk and cigarettes"; And what we have is the result of that; with then the dev team having to scramble to fit it into the game, in lore, and create the now mind numbing leveling venture.

[fulminating]

Other final fantasies are fully irrelevant. In this very same expansion as introducing new summoner they added sage(scholar), which bears no resemblance whatsoever to prior incarnations.
