How Would You Do... Summoner?

[Silverquick]

No offense but why do you keep bringing up BLM in this thread solely focused on SMN? We're suggesting what we'd like to see in SMN, from small changes (larger Egi's or adding primal-like graphics to abilities) to more drastic ones, like making the Egi's a bigger focus of the Job or having our skills give short buffs to them.

Don't worry it wasn't directed at you, it was directed at him...

Either way...

These are the Two Magical Based DPS classes... they are balanced against each other as DPS classes... if you make changes to one you have to look them as a pair. Because each one has their nich as a Magical DPS job. Change that and you affect the overall balance between the two. The same way you have to guage the Melee DPS jobs. They are balanced against each other... as are the Ranged DPS jobs.

So any changes you make to one of them... have to be looked at in terms of their role as a Magical DPS class.

I went through how they compare and compliment each other in their Nich... if you don't think those things through, you'll end up breaking one or both of them.

Right now, as of Heavensward 3.0 the balance points between the two are perfect in terms of Jobs each has its nich.
