RIP summoner

[Lemuria]

I think a lot of people wanted more from this update than we got. I'm waiting for the inevitably hilarity when the Bahamut skill deals scarcely any more damage than Fester currently does.

We've been stuck with these egis for ages. Their individual skills are so nondescript they could literally be shaped as anything and no one would tell the difference. We're not 'summoners' we're DoT fighters with a portable turret. Our egi's have no real identity which makes it feel less like a pet class and more like a trainee black mage. Is it really so hard to understand that people expected more from a job which has yet to live up to its own name?

At least having carbuncle as a skin will appease some players. Though, I still feel the summons themselves need more work than the base class does.

SMN in FFXIV is a dot based pet class, get over it, it's been this way for over a year now, the class has already been rebalanced around that playstyle for 3.0, they aren't going to change it, no matter how loud you cry, scream or throw a fit.

See, unfortunately this is where you're very very wrong. Most of the changes made to the classes over the years have been EXACTLY because people moaned and whined. Heck, they've already announced that they're adding a 'glamor' system for our avatars which is what many people COMPLAINED about. So, at least face reality. Whining works, and the louder the voice the quicker the changes will be made.

Never say never. You'll only be disappointed when it happens.
