Arcanist and Summoner: a possible solution

[Eloah]

I believe the OP is aware of that fact, but they also stated that jobs now have no longer needed such a restriction since HW. I'm assuming they want SMN to be separated from the base root of ACN due to the discrepancy of lore and play not blending between the two, if I read the first post correctly.

While the class/job thing is now a relic of the "past" it's too ingrained in the game now to alter. That's why SMN and SCH are still connected, despite being as seperated as possible without altering the code. If anything, this new Summoner rework allows them to add a new job that is DoT based.

Yeah, uh, the whole "the rework isn't perfect but it's a good base to work on, right, right??" thing hasn't really worked out in the past, has it. I had the same hopium for 5.0 tanks.

I understand the skepticism, but the key difference there is, that was a rework for a role, but this is a single job.
