"SUMMONER" 7.0 Wishlist.

[SieyaM]

Isn't the main schtick of a SMN to call primals to do the work for them? The more I think of the current SMN, I don't hate it but also not a fan of the summons changing aspects of our tool kit. In my opinion, the ARR SMN had so much potential. The hatred towards it was uncalled for. Sure, they could have removed the DoT management in favor of a more fleshed out pet management. I find it rather funny and immersion breaking that it took an entire tribe and sacrifice to summon a primal but when it's our turn to summon them, it's just an oGCD. The summoning has no impact, whatsoever.

It would have been better if the primals took a lot of preparations before we can be able to summon them. And while doing the summoning, we can manage the pet on the side to either do the damaging and or protecting us while we're down doing the rituals.

I can see it as us attuning the the element of the summon, the same way we had to attune to the right aspected aether to learn to summon them anyway. Anyway all that is in the past anyway since job lore is of no concern to the development team now.

Then that is not summoner and more akin to enchanter. Imbuing one's attack to take on different elements is already within the realm of enchanting while summoning calls upon an entity to do what the summoner desires.

Shadowbringers, as an expansion, has the crystal exarch summoned us from the source to the first.

Between SMN and SCH, the latter has more summoner vibes than the former.
