No Wrong Answers: What Job(s) do you think are the best desgined, and why?

I have no issues with it. Honestly, job simplicity to me isn't a bad thing. To me, the easier something is to play, the harder you can make the content, etc. I tend to excel at mechanics more when I have less to think about while playing my class. It's more of a me thing(ADHD and learning disabilities) that I feel comfortable with. I challenged myself the other day to close my eyes and muscle memory my rotation, and I nailed it. Even the doing the cooldowns in my head. So, for me, that counts more than anything.

I think it’s mostly because you lose your big summons. The substitute is very boring. You're right in that it doesn't really change, which is a good thing in that respect.

Yeah I get where you're coming from, I'm fine with more simple job designs (as long as some jobs are more harder it's always good to have choices) that's not my issue with the Job outright (even if I enjoy it less), I personally just dislike the lack of casting on a caster job, I feel like that's kind of the point of the physical ranged role. Poorly designed is also more of a opinion as one person can find something not fun, while another may enjoy it, I personally don't like how Summoner feels like a better Red mage at most things mobility obviously, I guess the only advantage RDM has is chain rez (which usefulness of that depends and also can drain mana fast). I think rotation wise the job is perfectly fine, even if it's not for me.

I get that maybe the animations/feel might be a bit different at lower levels, most jobs are really poorly designed at low levels such as tanks lacking mitigations, or anything other then 1,2,3 dps wise. I think the good thing about Summoner in early levels is you've got the skeleton of the Job it adds on later down the line.
