So what's wrong with Summoner?

[HyoMinPark]

So basically it's one of few that still has some depth, effort and sense of character and we just can't have that now can we. Yawn. I know! Lets make it as mindnumbing as everything else to appease the carebear signal crew; and all be on our way to a new game, once everything is just one button spamming as it should be. Yey. /s.

I don’t play SMN nearly enough to comment on playstyle, but I will say that I have no complaints about busy jobs. Honestly, I haven’t heard many complaints about current SMN outside of it dealing way too much personal damage for a job that also has utility (see arguments about selfish DPS versus utility DPS). I would never advocate for jobs to be dumbed down—I’ve always advocated for the opposite (like when they removed BRD’s complexity in ShB). I was just addressing the OP’s comment about SMN being “a mess” and what the comments I’ve seen about it being “a mess” have generally been directed towards. But, as I said, I don’t read in-depth, SMN-specific job design posts often. I tend to stick to posts about balance within the DPS role.
