How I would work SMN into the game

[Otaku]

well for 1 debuff might mainly be on Rdm so having it will defeat the point of having Smn. 2 the Debuffing system blows. No debuffing spell will stop a one shot if its gonna happen. The debuffs dont last long enough and on bosses They barely take effect. And if a rdm cant debuff a boss that well there no way in hell a Smn is gonna do it.

Yea after talking to some friends/LS mates we are under the impression that we will get some type of all the jobs listed, I think SMN/BST just got more votes because people are like "Oh I want a pet" and was kinda thinking of how it could be improved over how it was in XI but pet classes are mainly for solo play imo.
As for the fact that debuffs/enfebs don't last long or barely effect mobs, no one that I know of stacks enfeb magic pot and I think that would change when RDM is introduced and they get some nice skills, if I could say cast atk down on Coincounter or throw a DoT on Chim while BLM's burn ants I would gladly take a RDM in endgame over a SMN.
