How I would work SMN into the game

[viion]

SMN should come form CON/THM. Lets get some jobs in game that require more than one class leveled.

All jobs require 2 classes levelled, 1 to 30 and 1 to 15 XD


I think a lot of people picked Summoner thinking "oh snap imagine summoning Ifrit or Garuda" which will be hilarious when they're disappointed.

I know that, I was thinking that the two classes should be required to be 30 or maybe higher to unlock SMN. After all, you can get to 15 with very little effort.

Hmm yes, making it a DD wouldn't hurt one bit because pet jobs do not work like other DDs at all.
Like I said I don't see the need of an enfeebling class and a class/job dedicated to it would simply not work in this current system. The enfeebling system needs a huge overhaul before a class like that appears. Why do you want to force Summoner into a role that was never part of it anyway? Simply because it's first in the poll?
Like I said the poll won't have a huge influence in development because any class that's going to show up soon is already set in stone more or less.
Summoner and other mages have been mentioned by Yoshida himself months ago so they are all being planned/made at this point. If they're adding classes at 2.0's launch it won't be just one, you can be sure of that.

Just to let you know we had a great set of enfebs/debuffs/DoT's and they were removed, check the beastmen camps they still have them (damn Kobalds kept all the nasty ones). I think you're right though, were gonna get all those classes/job's, they are just testing the waters so to say. So you can have your SMN and go solo somewhere because your DPS won't be up to a BLM and I don't care how cool they look I'll be taking the RDM to enfeb/debuff/DoT on my endgame runs.

Just want to point out that Yoshi-P said in a previous interview that he pictured Arcanist advancing into Geomancer. I doubt he changed his mind either since in the same interview, or one shortly after, he was talking about his own thoughts on Summoner: how he personally wanted to see it added into the game and how it would be getting minor summons.

and i hope they add Evoker as the Class cause having it branch fron cnj/thm would be so generic and lame cause ill already have it at 50 =(

well Summoner when add can bet better than Blm. Think about it if Smn gets all the elemental pets theyll have pets for any situation where as Blm if Titan and Ramuh are thrown into the equation are useless. But the Same can be said about summon with any mobs that are pron to AoE alot cause theres little to know chance a Avatar will walk away from them if players are almost 1 shotted by them.
