Why do people want Blue Mage in this game?

Another pet class? My headache is coming back.
Rifle discarded, we have MCH.

More like another pet class? We have yet to receive even one.

Link pl0x. I don't recall any talks about more pet jobs at all.

I think her point was that she wouldn't classify our current pet classes as worthy of the title.

(COULD YOU ASK FOR ANYTHING BETTER THAN SELENE THOUGH? ;D)

EOS. MASTER. RACE.

I know what i talk about! i am scrub healer! Glorious ilvl 200!
Besides, whats wrong with current SMN pet like system?

I mean... You have pet... Pet has skills... Best summoners use obey and only obey, for maximum dmg pump... So you need to control little shite to do not go wild...

In other words, what they would like pet system to look like? Feeding pet in battle with creatine so it grows into John Cena?

I just think she has absurdly high standards and mega rose tinted goggles, she's already complained about jobs being completely butchered so you aren't gonna hear anything different from her now :/

[MagiusNecros]

As if the class has the pet as the central focus and isn't a one off gimmick. Summoner received no new pet actions and the only pet action Scholar got was dismissing the pet itself to once again focus more on the character and not the pet.

Pet class my ass.

On the same token you seem to have low standards to the point of "I'll take what I am offered and never complain about it even if it was garbage".

Which is not the case. If anything, maybe you just don't care what's thrown at you and will take it whatever the quality. In that case, I would worry about your standards and not anyone else's.

I care plenty and I'll admit Dark Knight isn't what I hoped it would be as I really would have liked the darkness mechanic to have played a hand in it but I really see no issue with Summoner as it is, with the pace of the game I would not have expected it to have been like past incarnations and I don't know why people assumed it would be, yeah its not super flashy but it doesn't need to be.

And I'd appreciate it greatly if you both didn't make assumptions about what I care about, its easy enough to make assumptions about Magius based on her opinions throughout this entire thread and thats how she's come across to me.

As for the pet focus, I would like some more pet abilities in the future, since we've got a ton of player ability bloat at the moment and the pet bar could easily fit 2-3 more abilities without feeling over the top. I wouldn't mind seeing passives for summoner that enhance the pet some more, Like every time it crits it has a chance to refresh the cooldown on contagion for Garuda or the Radiant Shield for Ifrit.

Seriously the problems with you type of players is you complain and complain but you don't offer any proper ideas or feedback of how you think they should change the class so that it would appeal more to your tastes, all you do instead is bash and bash thinking thats going to provide the Dev team with anything significant, so kindly get off your damn high horse.

I am glad you enjoy your poor man's Necromancer. If you envisioned Summoner as a class that enfeebles it's enemies with debilitation's to do 60% of their damage(something a summoner never did ever), relegate their pet to 33% of their damage via auto's, only use each pet for shield or contagion and the occasional Enkindle and primarily rely on using all your base Arcanist skills for the bulk of your damage then by all means "Summoner" was quite the success I must say.

I'd talk about Dark Knight but me and Tanathya would be here for a week. TLDR Dark Knight is primarily a DRK in name only. It works as a Tank class but it could have been executed so much better.

Idea's and feedback have been given in the past to make classes better but is usually met with responses like "too hard", "it's fine as it is", "but I like it", "MMO balance issues", "yo standards are too high" , "but this is XIV".

And if you don't want people to make assumptions about yourself then perhaps you should take your own advice. I expressed my opinion, you cried about said opinion and I responded in tandem. Oh btw I'm a guy. I find all the male characters in this MMO goofy looking. Would play Au Ra but that run is a big no no.

I am very blunt and up front about my opinions and the fact they took away the core mechanic of what makes a Dark Knight is very disconcerting. Considering the FF series has been around since what the 90's? If you have taken offense to my mannerism and just don't know how to respond then you have my sincere apologies. I'm a nice guy but when it comes to the Blue Mage and Dark Knight I am very passionate about those.
