I personally have been using Physick effectively all the way up to 5.0 Hell i even went out of the way to get Eureka gear so i could pentameld Mind Materia 6's and bring my physick up to a point where i could actually use it in situations. Throwing off 6k (9k on crit) physicks felt good as a summoner. There have been many of times where that has saved a raid due to the healer going down and not having a redmage, All the healers going down so while they are being ressed i am able to hold ground, or hell if we lose the healer outright due to a disconnect and have to hold for a short period of time. With the removal of Main stat materia (minus Piety) Physick is no longer able to be viable. I stand with the people that want physick to be at least somewhat useful here.

Also i noticed someone mentioning the removal of resurrection as well and topaz. I have to state that Topaz is my main carbuncle. If it was not for people flipping their shit every time online i would have used it more. I like the changes of Topaz. Means i can keep myself going and be available for back-up ressurections of healers. The shield is not strong sure but it does enough to keep me going till the healer is back on their feet.

Besides. If you really want to DPS with a summoner. You really would not be harmed by physick being actually useful now would you? it just be another ability you can freely ignore. But for those of us that actually want it to be useful. It gives us a bit more ability to customize ourselves a little bit more than the game currently allows. A bit of a freedom to enjoy doing something else. Besides. A summoner with a proper working physick. is still no where near as strong as a Red mage with their Vercure. no matter what anyone says. Dualcasting makes redmage the better Red healer right now.

TL: DR if we have the ability. why not make it viable. For those Summoners that don't want physick. There is a simple answer for you. Don't put it on your grid. Keep resurrection. Its always good to have contingencies like Verraise and Resurrection. Topaz indirectly tanks now and that is a major change that people are gonna have to figure out. Removing it just adds to the list of things that prevent summoner players from having choices.

Summoners in FF history has always been a very supportive or powerhouse like depending on what you summon. Why is that a bad thing? don't use physick if it ever does get fixed later if you really need to get DEM DEEPS
