how not to view a summoner

[Savagelf]

summoner summon titan in the full titan he destroy every mobs. the party cheer, people leave ffxiv because summoner a uberfied, and there is no good job balance.

summoner work with her party to defeat mob and boss mob she help aid her party with her summon and her dot. party cheers because they together work to take a big bad mean boss.

example one of summoner is how most players want the summoner to be to less or great detail.

I understood nothing you said.

I think they're saying that people want summoner to use a huge monster that saves the day, as opposed to a puny thing and a few dots to save the day.

I will clarify for people, this post of her's is in response to a post I made here:

Where I made the point that summoner should be more about the pet rather than the summoner and how MMO's have changed pet classes for (in my opinion) the worse by turning pets in to nothing more than a glorified dot. The OP is saying that if it did that (a summoner calling forth the actual large version of the primal) Titan (as an example) would be too powerful and Summoner would be a super class. Completely missing the point of what I was trying to say but deciding to make this thread saying that summoner will never be about actually summoning things and any other version would be too strong. Pretty sure the OP's first language is not english either.

My main point though is that if we were to get a new pet class, I would personally want the class to focus on the pet, I'm tired of pet class design making them nothing but a DoT you occasionally manage.

Personally I agree! I believe that Summoners should not be viewed as Summoners because Summoners actually summon Summons. But Summoners only summon Egi which aren't Summons somewhat so Summoners seem like something different. So Summoners shouldn't be seen as Summoners until they summon something summonable that shows as a Summon, so until Summoners summon Summons, Summoners should be named something else.

Perfect reaction.
