The problem with Summoners

[Vallhallix]

And just as Akiza cannot argue the reasons for people jumping ship, neither can you. Perhaps every single one of the people who quit playing summon quit because they don't like the horn on the AF.

While I don't necessarily agree with how Akiza wants summoner to be changed, it definitely needs one. The focus of the job should be on its... wait for it... summons.

I quit SMN because it felt really bland and I wasn't satisfied with its damage, and DPS classes with pets just are meh lol. SMN just feels really weak even compared to a BRD in PvP. Dots do nothing really that a healer can't heal the party from. I switched to BLM because not only are the spells better, but it just feels like BLM adds a lot more to the party in both end game and dungeons. You can't put a price on eliminating targets swiftly.

Yup, in end game content and dungeons it's alot more effective to have a BLM and every other dps class (except Smn) rather than a SMN and every other dps class.
