Summoner 7.0 Wishlist

I may be completely wrong, but I have a feeling the new ‘Ranged’ is going be a caster job that completely revived the old-SMN DoT playstyle. Revolving around managing and interacting with DoTs, skills that get stronger based on dots applied etc.

It’d fill both the niche old SMN left behind, and it would address the fact that currently no DoT dps job exists in game, besides maybe Bard at a stretch.

Plus, it means people who preferred the old SMN still have something to go to for the same playstyle. While I personally prefer the current iteration of Summoner as a ‘foundation’ for what the job should be, I enjoyed the old Summoner as well, and it does feel unfair that the playstyle literally doesn’t exist anymore

A dot job would be cool, I don't think it will happen with how anti dot they have been recently but I would be glad to be proven wrong ... something like a Time Mage or even a Chemist that uses poisons.

Im in love with all old smn iterations, and on paper this one wasn't bad either. But then they decided to make a physranged with less stuff and the core based on 1 button spam.


If the new caster has about the same feel as the old smn and they keep the smn as is with some more vfx, I will definitely go for the other one. Otherwise if the new caster is like all the new dps which are half jobs and the smn remains unchanged with a few more vfx I will abandon ff14 and finally go to the gym lol.

i hope not, just give old smn back to the ppl that mained it and make the new job this braindead 1 button spammer.
