Shadowbringer: Summoner Changes Discussion

[Len]

Let's face it, we still have Physick, so for Phoenix to have a heal isn't really that far of a stretch.

So because we have one useless heal in Physick, that some how paves the way for another useless one down the line?

And as for lore/flavour making a heal on Phoenix necessary: FFXIV Summoner has never stayed true to the conventions of past iterations. Why start now, especially if this is the form it's going to take?

Oh Believe me, I'm right there with you on Physick being useless, and am definitely of the mind that it should either be made useful or changed into something else. As far as Phoenix having a heal, I don't see the big deal. It's just a little extra support, it isn't potent and it's an auto ability so it's not causing ability bloat. Dancer also has a heal and so does Red Mage, I don't know why it seems like something we shouldn't have to you.

Summoner has always had some form of heal, whether it be a direct cast heal or from a summon that has a healing ability, so this really doesn't seem like something outside of their wheel house. I understand that XIV Summoner is not like other FF Summoners, but there should be some connection to it's history and DNA.
