Summoner Over-Nered (and A few other Problems)

[Tonkra]

I love this FF summoner argument, mostly because it's so random. Of the actual true summoners in the main FF games, Three were pure SMN damage ((FFIII and FFV, ignoring the job cross-class system, FFXI, which did everything through the SMN), one had extra damage skills (Rydia) and 2-3 had healing skills (Yuna and Garnet, Eiko technically).

So tell me, where is it forced to not allow a heal?

Oh really, and if you are talking about FFX, FFVIII, FFIX etc. these all had no fixed FF job roles.


And as we are talking about FFXIV it has fixed roles - dps, heal and tank.

And since she/he is talking about the smn being nerfed in damage how would the abbillity to have a decent single heal improve anything?

Also having summoner use a healing pet, would turn them into another class called scholar....

Not if "healing ruby" from carbuncle is a huge group heal with a re-use timer ...which you would use in emergency situations. not like the endless heal spam of a fairy..

Would Improve the current role significantly giving me away to heal my pet again.

then why you dont ask for a decent pet heal and to get rid of the useless physic heal instead maybe? which is just a relic of the cross class system from SCH..
