Any summoners left?

Are you trying to summon Akiza here? ;A;

Is this supposed to be a joke thread? "Does anyone actually play class/job X that I don't like"? What kind of responses do you THINK you're going to get?

FC mate of mine (a SMN) went into ST the other day and discovered 10/12 dps were SMN. So I guess ymmv? I see SMN in the DF regularly.

WHM and SMN are my mains. What do you mean the job is "outdated"?

He/she doesnt like it, that means the job sucks.

[ninthfantasy]

SMN here. Plan on staying SMN.

The SMN job feels like an early iteration of what other MMOs do with DoT classes, whereas those DoT classes in other games are much more fleshed out and interesting. The same can be said for a lot of jobs in this game though. FFXIV combat is pretty simple in the grand scheme of MMOs but you have to consider that this fact is what draws some people in. Also, while FFXIV combat may feel simple to those who play non-FF MMOs, the combat in this game requires a lot more attention than it ever did in FFXI.

I like SMN simply because it is SMN, but it's playstyle does feel old to me and that's why I don't play it as much. Here's to hoping 3.0 makes it a little more interesting!

Not a fan of DPS classes in general, but when I do DPS, I DPS Summoner.

[SummonerSenah]

I sure hope I still play a summoner, since I don't think I can change my username!



Kidding aside, I still main summoner. I'm currently working on my Novus, and saving up poetics to start upgrading.

I will say, though, that in my FC I'm the only one who mains summoner. Scholar is the more popular arcanist job.

I'm using all skills (I know some are situational), I'm really good at summoner. I think what I meant is how boring it is compared to other jobs. Maybe the issue is that there are too many repeat skills like bio bio II miasma. How many poison skills do we need? I wish the class skills had a more engaging skill system.
