Anyway the summoners have the added party member pet which adds to the over all DPS and like RDM can heal and stuff making them just as useful. the only difference with RDM and Summoners is RDMs can rush in to be an extra melee if needed.
    Summonsers also have all the pet skills like Ifrits fire claw and the Titan spirit incase Tank needs some help.

    There really is no reason to play a Black Mage or Summoner over a Red Mage currently other then personal attachment since it is that superior. If you play casually sure play what you want to like I do but at the end of the day I still want to play a job that feels fun to play and rewards for the effort put forth.

    Honestly though, both Summoners and Black Mages are having many issues at the moment but Red Mage is in a perfect spot. In my FC alone every dps caster that was a summoner or black mage main is now a red mage. It's a fun job for sure but I got fed up with Black Mage and how seemly enochian will drop for no reason ( confirmed bug). Not to mention currently the 3.0 rotation is yielding higher dps then the 4.0 rotation. I do not play Summoner so I can speak on their behalf but they seemly need a lot of adjustments. I guess the last staw for me was seeing Summoners and Black Mages excluded from a good percentage of extreme farms with a only red mage slot. Sure I could make my own group but honestly goes back to my whole thing of me finding the new changes to black mage just clunky and not rewarding. I will hold out to see what changes are made to the jobs on Tuesday but still Red Mage feels like the "Demon Hunter" of Stormblood. I tried to fight that too but honestly the more simplistic, less punishing job usually wins tbh but we will see what happens. If anything Red Mage is perfect but other jobs need to be buffed with Red Mage coming in last of the dps casters in my opinion.
