[Dev 1082] Summoner Design Concept

[AreeyaJaidee]

You're solutions are bad (false alternatives) and worse (allowing all the summons but giving them a crippling cool down).



Solution 3, only one summon can be equipped or used at a time. Like pokemon, you want to use a different summon, you have to put the first one away.

Could you just stick to suggesting alternatives instead of calling other people's ideas "bad". It's quite annoying as a corrective term.

SMN can have most these mechanics and decent damage, why must everyone auto assume it's going to be OP out the gate?

Every job/class goes through adjustment phases: in FFXI's case the devs hindered SMN not by nerfing their DMG but instead they weren't given enough options.

Looks like topic is going good just keep it mature and decent please.

SMN can have most these mechanics and decent damage, why must everyone auto assume it's going to be OP out the gate?

Mostly because we base our experience on FFXI. They cannot make it so that SMN can do as good damage as full fledge DD and as good heals/support as full fledge healers/support classes. They just cannot because then it would not be fair that a single job can do everything jus as effectively as someone else that can only do 1 thing.

The result? They would unfortunately need to make it so that it's not as good a DD than a DD job and not as good a healer/support than a healer/support job because sadly people would complain if they could do everything just as good.

But you may be right, there might be a way to balance it all out, I just can't think of any.
