Please don't defile BST

Fools be wanting BST while remembering SMN has garb for pet AI, but forget companions also suck.

At best you'd get something like V's beastmaster where you catch a monster in a bottle and throw it at a fool.

Sad that some of these people only know summoner from that other job they had in that ugly game ( WoW). I don't think most of them played another final fantasy game ever. So they don't understand the what's it like to be a true summoner and not a dot mage.

Change a couple words and this describes all the Dancer talk perfectly.

You nailed it. FFXIV Summoner is a World of Warcraft Warlock... EVEN DOWN TO THE PET!

Imp = Ifrit
Succubus = Garuda
Voidwalker = Titan

But we still have it better in FFXIV with our Summoner. In the past, WoW had a Warlock class that was superior but now, it is just an overly simplified version of the current FFXIV Summoner.

I wonder if 5.0 will bring big class changes?...

I'd argue that Ifrit = Felhunter.

Melee DPS pet that is numerically superior DPS (Since Ifrit does more attacks or something I believe? So he has more chances to proc Ruin IV) but not in a notable way.

With Garuda being more like Imp. Ranged DPS with a single noteworthy skill (Imp had the stamina buff aura, which used to be max health buff so stacked with Priest's stamina buff. Garuda has Contagion)

If there's one thing I noticed, it's that talk of Blue Mage basically died pretty much immediately after the first two weeks. It's like it never even existed outside of these DPS forums. There aren't any BLU action farming parties anymore.

I think this experiment by SE was a complete failure.

If Blu isn't fixed by the time bst comes out I really hope they ruin this job to the ground too so that can get out of that high horse and listen to our posts
