Summoner - What it needs.

[PyurBlue]

1.Old Summoner is dead. no it should never come back. if it does come back it need to be completely different caster-job. saying that outright. cause summoner class always been bad ever sense realm reborn new summoner is not any better cause you refuse give us anymore gem summons would result in more interesting game play instead you gave us a job that is only 25% finished brain dead to play its not even full-job at this point

SB SMN was fun and certainly better than what came after. Bringing it back would at least be an improvement.

I never understood the whole Summoner doesn't summon enough argument. Having more summons doesn't change much, especially if they're just animations. Going in the opposite direction with less summons that require more management on the part of the player feels like it has more potential. Though I'm not really sure what the summons should do. FF14 can only handle so much complexity before the netcode is overwhelmed. Maybe having the summons as mostly autonomous but reliant on the player for positioning orders and resources like MP.

Try what game other then 14 limits player choices the summoner job to only 3 summons if was up to me i make both sides happy you get dots i get my summons. no pain no foul. not gonna defend yoshi dev team when they released this. cause should of done more shouldnt removed as much they did. pretty wouldnt been happy if fester was same. you had your dots. shadowflare and bane was still a thing
