Summoner would not work with FFXIV current state.

I am strongly against idiotic responses targeting specific individuals

So not only are you against all pet jobs but you're against yourself? :3

Interesting.

I am strongly against stupid people who don't properly read posts in which no specific individual was established in context, despite being merely suggested.

So again you're against yourself?

Lets look at your post.

I am in favor of constructive responses to threads

OK, so am I. But theres something fishy about this... lets look back deeper into your post on this subject.

I am strongly against pet classes

I am strongly against dumb ideas like the summoner class

So this tripe is constructive in its response? So you came onto the summoner thread and said you hate pet classes AND summoner is a "dumb" idea but you're adding to the conversation in a productive manner, right?

Purely idiotic, run along now.

How are posts where you merely state that you are in favor or against something constructive? I have nothing about posting opinions, but if you are in favor of comments that are constructive, try to elaborate a bit in your posts and give reasons why you are in favor or against something. Also when you are against something, if you can, try to give a suggestion as to what could change the thing to make it better, that's call constructive criticisms.

I am in favor of keeping statements like these simple, readable, and relevant.

I am strongly against outright and unnecessary insults from others.

But since you asked, I have never liked pet classes in any game. They end up filling only one role: Damage Dealer. What makes it worse than other damage dealing classes is they can (usually) solo all the way to endgame, thus having very little party experience. There have been many attempts to make a pet class fit into other roles, but they end up either sucking in that role or eventually "rebalanced" into a damage dealer.

Example:
Can't make the pet as good of a tank as a tank class, otherwise pet class will be better since there's less risk.
Can't make the pet as good of a healer/buffer as a healer/buffer class, otherwise pet class will be better since there's less risk from hate.
Both of these mean the pet dies, but can always just be re-summoned again.

So what do they do instead? They make pets weaker than their masters, reasoning that the abilities split between them make them add up to 1 person, which results in weaker heals, weaker buffs, and weaker defense. Nuff said.

OK I gotta be honest here I hated your posts with zero explanation it was annoying, but that response made it all make sense. You articulate your ideas well!!! please do it more often!!!!

Oh, OK, lol. So your brilliant opinion of you're against pet jobs and summoner is relevant and constructive to the topic at hand.

The irony of your posts are so sweet my teeth hurt.
