Does Summoner get better?

[Snowdove]

I know I'm only level 67, but this summoner rework isn't really gelling with me.


There doesn't seem to be much strategy to it. Just press what is available; use all three summons when available.


Am I missing something? Does it get better at level cap?

[MaelleRiou]

It doesn't really get better. It stays the same basic thing until 86 and then you get 1 extra button to press during primal summons and that's it.

[Corbeau]

86 makes the summons significantly more unique, to the point where I hate syncing down, but it doesn't change the structure of the class. It's entirely about picking the right summon for the right movement requirements.

86 is where it gets way better

[Lilyth]

I would hardly say that at 86 it gets better. All 86 does is let you use your "Death Flare" button with the other three filler primals and that's it.

Sure, they look incredibly flashy and each one works a little different than the other (one is a long GCD cast, one is an insta-GCD cast and the last one is an oGCD), but if you already feel like there's not much to do with SMN and all you do is press what's available, 86 or 90 is not gonna change that.

It gets better simply because it can't get any worse.

[Rufalus]

Could do with 1 or 2 more attack buttons that do something different for each summon, then it might be an awesome job. As things stand, BLM is a far more interesting caster than RDM and SMN.

[Grimoire-M]

Not really no. Even if it got buffed I wouldn't recommend it cause it's problems are fundamentally tied to the mechanical direction they took with the rework. It gets boring far too quickly to be considered good, even at 90.

[MagiusNecros]

86 is the sweet spot peeps. 90 is where your summon attack isn't trying to run up to the mook.

I'd save Aetherflow for Titan so you can constantly weave attacks for constant damage.

[ServantNaoya]

At 86 is when it starts feeling like the class is trying to go somewhere, and then it'll just stop there and never feel finished or satisfying. So, really no, it doesn't get better.
