14 SMN is (was) a tactician and poison magic fits that lore perfectly
And now we’re talking about lore again after I had already said my piece as to how I disagree with how some people are using it to take Summoner in the poison mage direction. I was talking about gameplay in earlier titles. There are some basic things that should be consistent in terms of job gameplay and fantasy that weren’t respected in FFXIV’s Summoner, ultimately to the detriment of the class that resulted in the rework.

I think that the lore they wrote to justify the not-Warlock class of FFXIV was bad, and that this class deserved a far greater deal of respect to its source material than what FFXIV showed it from the beginning.
