To each his/her own. I'm just stating my problem with it. If the devs could somehow come out with a ballanced summoner class (very doubtful), then I'd reconsider. But I have never seen a good pet class in another MMO that wasnt broken as hell or loluseless, or very situational. And to the dread of summoners everywhere, If they do come out with the job, then I won't be suprised at having summoners being relegated to healers or very specific situations for summoning. I had a Drg buddy, and I would always invite him to my parties when I could. I just felt so bad for the guy. But seriously, no body wants over powered pet classes, or to be pitied by others and be given a charity spot in endgame (I'm looking at you Bst).
