Summoner Health Check

[Azurarok]

Early FFXIV Summoner was far more of a DoT mage than pet based job.

I can't say I fully believe that when the ARR arcanist and summoner quests still have fights that imply you were supposed to fight alongside your carbuncle/egis. Also since they had to nerf Titan Egi to the ground because it replaced tanks in an extreme.

What about MCH turrets and the Queen being "pets." I love that job but it's way overdue a total redo.

MCH also ended up in its weird state, both in terms of gameplay and meta, when they tried to make it closer to its classic FFVI counterpart.
I even enjoy current MCH enough to consider it my main but I'm also not selfish enough to say the people who loved it for what it was needed to lose it for the sake of being a better reference to past games.
