Hopefully Tri-Disaster just puts all 3 Dots up in a single Cast.

Just can't wait to see what new fun stuff they come up with.

Great, thanks forum community.
If they've changed my favourite job in the game into a dull spammy copy of BLM to appease the whiners here I'm coming for you.

I'm with this guy.

You know what really got me hyped, they havent forgotten or abandoned this idea:

There is still an implementation plan for the summoning system where adventurers can call a primal. Since there's currently a lot of content already planned to be implemented, it's been moved to the back of the list for now.

Actually summoning THE primal to do their signature attack. This aught to help with those complaining about the Egi's. Should add that to the OP.

An outbreak like effect would cause it to have to have a cooldown (otherwise...why would we ever manually cast dots?) and/or have a prohibitively high mana cost, both of which wouldn't solve the problem of us not having an AoE.

Groups bring casters for AoE not their DoT single target Damage.

Neat! I play the Summoner for the DoT single target Damage, and not the AoE. And look at that, I get into groups just fine.

You might find this hard to believe but not everyone shares your playstyle.. shocking right?

Which is amusing considering you were moaning about coming after anyone if the changes sullied your playstyle of preference even if others argued for it. You know, how some people don't perceive the black mage as a bland spammy class like you do.

We already have one button mashing nuke class, we don't need two.

Black Mage isn't a button masher nuke it requires managing procs to limit DPS loss on move. If anything Summomer is the button mashing DoT class spamming ruin. After opening rotation all they can do is spam ruin.
