Any summoners left?

Honestly...this class is outdated and I'd be surprised if anyone still plays it. I'm starting to play every other class now and they feel more fun.

how exactly does a class feel "outdated"? They aren't cartons of milk or newspapers...
Especially since summoners are still valuable for their utility (being the only non-healer class that can rez in combat) and consistent DPS, as well as their ability to kite in situations like t7.

It's like I said, trying other classes and the way their work, specially their skills are more well thought out. The worst offense of summoner is how repetitive it is, other classes at least adjust their skills a lot. I don't know it just could be so much better.

Clearly you've never played BLM

Except you used the word "outdated," when from this it looks like you meant "boring" or "doesn't fit my playstyle." Some people get along great with a job that's consistent...even though SMN is NOT a job like that. SMN has a wealth of abilities they should be employing. If SMN is boring to you, you're probably not using all the tools you're given. In a straight up DPS fight, yeah it doesn't change. But when faced with mechanics that require movement, SMN is incredibly valuable as the ONLY caster DPS that can maintain their DPS while moving, whereas BLM suffers when forced to move. Plus they're great at kiting.

Well, the rotation for Smn is pretty basic - there's not a lot of room for variability other than to weave in Miasma 2 and Shadow flare at specific points. But Smn should not seem repetitive if you are using the job to its full abilities - meaning exercising its support capability. Its a pretty busy job
