I have played every mainline FF title and I have levelled SMN to 80 a grand total of one time in comparison to the multiple times I've levelled BLM and RDM across several of my alts. Poison mage gameplay sucks. When I want to grind Eden/NieR for glams as a caster I vastly prefer those two classes as opposed to affliction warlock. I know what a real summoner looks and feels like because I have experienced every game where they've shown up. If you get it, you get it. If you don't, sorry. Go look up on youtube what summoners have been like in past games so you can get an idea of what I mean in terms of its aesthetic and gameplay. In 6.0 I will proceed to actually play summoner beyond simply levelling it and forgetting about it afterwards along with my other classes.

I'm largely uninterested in hearing your defense of a job that got so bad it had to be reworked from the ground up.
