Summoners as a tanking class

[MistyMew]

Dont think they would make smn a tanking class but that doesnt mean I personally am against it!

Pet control in this game is terribad and extremely slow and clunky. One of the wost I have ever seen

Wows hunter class as an example, was awesomee, fast, efficient, pet held hate NO MATTER WHAT..and the pet would almost insta regained hate if pet died and had to be revived etc, they did it 100% right. ffxiv has a long long way to go to make any pet job smooth and fluid like that.

In ffxi bst was no better, the job itself was ok..and fun!!! but again the control of pet was painfully bad.

Would love your idea IF they learned from wow about pet control, ability to adequately and quickly heal pet AND pet hate generation.

Sadly, this. Going from one MMO where I could command my pet to slash at four specific enemies and have him complete those orders in a mere couple seconds before sending him off to kite them while I debuff to the other where Contagion likes ti wait not only to complete the current Windblade but also the next one queued (not as bad anymore)... well, one feels like having two in-sync players at your command and the other would leave you bereft of hope for pet classes.
