I don't see how SE ruined SMN.
Smn was my main job in FFXI, and it was HORRRREENDOUSSSS. Sure, you got amazing avatars after busting your ass beating them. But then what did you do with them?
You were more than likely put on Ghetto healing duty. I remember doing Sky, Sea and Dynamis, and I was put on ghetto Stone Skin with Titan or once again...Healing. I was more productive to be a refresh bot as RDM.
SMN was absolutely terrible in FFXI, and I feel like they did a great job with it here, and I like the concept for the Egis, even if they look kinda silly.

smn WAS terrible ,later on SE added some awesome gear for SMN that made SMN an awesome and fun job , separting pacts (for attacks and buffs) was the 1 step in the right direction .Smns now are a respectable DD free of hate (thats what makes SMN special :P), and yeah still can toss Cures here and there , the huge MP pool is there for a reason!

Bst changed a lot later on , was more a DD with an awesome pet by his side , using a point system for pet attacks (some attacks consume 1 other 2 , 3 ect) ,doble axe + pet is baddass :3

PUP , was awesome since the beggining , cool idea for a pet class ^^ , caster , tank , ragend ,healer automatons :3 , the caster 1 was my favorite ,but doing a skillchain with the ranged 1 was just awesome too :3

SE created 3 different pet classes and all them were unique and awesome on their on , fun to play and used their pets to the fullest (as pet class should do!)

I want to see a new job that is made for final fantasy 14, these other jobs are something we have seen in other titles.

I would like to see some new idea's other than what we've had over the years, new game new job.

I keep saying that I would love to have a completely original job but when I do people only shout dark knight and samurai at me even louder.

I have one ideal solution that people may or may not be sold on. But lets just play with a hypothetical scenario here and say that BST is announced and it'll be a melee pet class, with a balanced set of abilities and summons, similar to Summoner. Except, you have the ability to glamour your pet.

So, for example, pet A has 3 attacks. Pet A is a dodo. Well, what if you don't care for a dodo? Simple. Change it to a raptor instead to fit your style. Game still keeps the same 3 abilities, balance is kept in place, and so on and so forth. To obtain this raptor, you have to challenge it and charm it to be able to glamour it. Once glamoured, they're yours to keep. They're purely for aesthetics and enable BST's an extra step to customize thier character and job.

For huge monsters that people prefer, just size them down (malboros, ogres, drakes, etc.).

I know it's not what people want, but I figured with reality in check, this is the best case scenario if it's ANYTHING remotely like how Summoner is.

Those with true honor join the ranks of the samurai.

I will probably subscribe if they implemented a bst or nin job; however, I am not fond of the game mechanics and dungeon obsession; hence I may play around for a month or less. Do not expect to contentiously play for an extended period of time (Months).

... DD free of hate ...

Sad fact is that it didn't matter as long as your tank was alive. A BLM nuking every 45 seconds would also avoid pulling hate. And even when it mattered, all hate free meant was that you could run and hide when tank died.

Then there was the problem that 90% of the SMN gear was WHM/BLM armors with SMN tacked on as an afterthought. MND and INT did nothing for SMN pets, and you were relegated to JSE, AF, AF2, AF3 and that was pretty much the entire gear sortiment for SMN until 2012. (Didn't play after)

Summon esque pets

Give the master whips^^

Said this in multiple threads; i do not want controllable pets whom stay out akin to a pt member. Uncreative smn design? No thanks. Ill just take a flashy move from a large monster^^ Just my humble preference; I do not want to see XI all over again XD.

[Limecat]

I like my BSTing as much as anyone in XI, but I'm not sure it could translate well at all to this game. I see it likely coming out as just a physical version of SMN, without DoTs. If that happened, it'd effectively be nothing but flavor text.

[Lunavi]

I want PUP. Or a necromancer class.. Both really works well

[Noshpan]

I'm more interested in seeing the introductions of the Dark Knight and a stealth-based class (let's call it Thief) first. To a lesser extent, Musketeer as well. But everybody has their pet classes that they would love to see added.
