Summoner Health Check

[-Xenia-]

Doing great! I love summoner, been my main basically since I started this game and have no regrets about it. It now plays just like summoner has always played in every FF game I've played that had a summoner. Simpler is good - reliable for doing dps and not failing mechanics. But no, it's not 'braindead' (what an awful term).

Very glad it's not a pet job anymore, that was very janky and not fun to deal with to me (ghosting, the issues from it moving, clunky controls, and so on), though I still liked the summoner aesthetic the best of the jobs. And I'm really glad it's not a dot job, as that has nothing to do with summoning and is not interesting to me.

Beastmaster seems neat as well, will be happy to play it. Doesn't change anything about how I feel about summoner. I will say, though, that I am very interested in this new evolved mode that was talked about for 8.0... maybe they'll figure out a way to get summoner doing proper dps again.

The evolved combat system might allow us to have more summons which will be awesome! I'm looking forward to when they show off its abilities at the next fanfest!

or the other summons end up being action skins and we just end up with the same Garuda/Titan/Ifrit with different coats of paint

TBH I'm surprised anyone even plays SMN anymore after the severe dumbing down it got. It's by far the most braindead job in the game and that's saying something considering the current state of all the jobs.

Its all down hill from here
