Summoner - Class feedback - complaint

[Dwill]

@Dwill
I .... i really feel there was no need for this, its a rather passive aggressive comment...
i know there is a search function, i just wanted to post and be done with it.
(Been on the forums for 2 years... soooo, y'know)

If you couldn't be bothered to search, why should I be bothered to dignify your post with any other kind of response ?

SE gets to decide what a Summoner is, not you.
Everyone's already told you this but the only game where Summoner was a pet class is XI (in X and XIII you gain direct control of the summon, and in XII they are AI controlled with no way to control them), through out the rest of the games, Summoner was a glamorized Black Mage with cut-scene-fu magic. And sadly, even though they looked cool, XI's Summoner had major problems, mainly being outclassed by everything, Black Mages beat them at nuking, White Mage and Scholars beat them at Healing, and Bards and Red Mages beat them at Support.

Like the old saying: "Jack of all trades, master of none".

The mentality here on this forum is that it is not important wither summoner players are actually satisfied about the job or not, what is important to them is that the job is made in a way that doesn't ruin the overall game balance, while I believe SE do care a tiny bit about the over all feel of the class.

I am really enjoying the summoner class and I care about the overall game balance. Actually, a lot of us do as they aren't mutually exclusive.

Hell since when summoner was a freaking DOT job?!? ... jeez some people just see this game as an MMO with no previous roots or history.

You want a history lesson ? There's your answer.
