Pet glamour, what a total waste of time. I'm not happy with what I've seen, It's like they taken too much on board from a certain forumite that constantly screams for SMN to be revamped.. Bahamut possession.. peh!

so are you all telling me you would rather have a new summon, which will inevitably make one more skill useless, as opposed to a skill that will make the class stronger as a whole and actually put summoners back in end game? yoshi even said it himself in the live letter that getting a new summon would be a bad idea due to the lack if usable skills available to summoner, in order to keep balance between the classes adding a new summon would be going in the opposite direction.

Exactly, they simply chose to prioritize fixing the core job rotation. New Egi will come eventually most likely via this mentioned glamour system. I mean come on guys, it's not like Yoshi is sitting in a board room somewhere with his team, thinking "ok guys who can we piss off this time"...These decisions were made for a reason and if you have any knowledge of actual games development you will understand exactly why they did this.

You think other MMO pet classes sit there and add a million pets?

Oh how I miss the days of petspam

[ErzaScarlet77]

You guys should just reroll blm, clearly yoshida loves it more than smn lol

I don't want ahk morn... I want bahamut who can use ahk morn!! >:/ I WANT TO BE A SUMMONER NOT A BLUE MAGE!!! WHEN YOU SAY "we thought it would be better to give SMN more actions rather than pets!" YOU KNOW YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING HORRIBLY WRONG!

This...so much this. Pet jobs are about PETS..not the person...

Unfortunately, this game doesn't cater to letting your pet do all of the work for you. A FFXI style pet job does not work with how this game is designed to be played.

Summoner isn't just a pet job. It channels the power of Primals into a form known as an Egi, sure, but the Dreadwyrm Trance is another method by which one can channel a Primal's power. Just because Summoner isn't fitting into the niche of "pet job" you want doesn't mean it's wrong for SE to make the job more about the caster.

Dude SMN are about Summons, they supose to be our MAIN way to do DPS. "Channels the power of Primals" tru our EGIS not just trowing stupid pillars of ligths nukes.... thats what mages/nukers/healers does (Conjurer channels the power of nature and BLM the void) not SMN

SMN are NOT nukers-DOTs based jobs on ANY MMO, even more in FF universe the SMN main and only way to do DPS is summoning stuff.
