Pictomancer is absurd

[Rekh]

I dislike the fact that they made someone other than Alphinaud the pictomancer. They got them backwards... :/

Hey, let's have Krile heal the scions for weeks/months while they're away in Shadowbringers
Next expansions let's have Alphinaud as Sage (healer) and Krile as Pictomancer (DPS).

Decision-making is highly questionable.

As for pictomancer itself; it looks too much like a summoner to me. It'll probably have a similar rotation to smn; ie, summoning weaker spells to then summon a big "creature." Would have preferred unique mechanics, but the previews themselves just show me them casting earth, fire, and ice before they summon a moogle; I'm not sure how fun that will be gameplaywise but I highly doubt anyone will be thrilled to cast cartoony ice, fire, and earth for extended periods of time.

The job itself is fine, the mechanics and aesthetics are way off imo.

What made it even worse for me was how much "it was teasing green mage," like seriously, did they have to borrow Green mage's clover pendant like that? It just makes people who were excited to be turned off altogether that it didn't turn out to be what they teased for half a year.
