Dear Yoshi-P/Dev Team/Job Designers,

I would like to preface my statement with saying "Thank you very much" for saving this game. I started playing the game since 1.0. Despite its flaws and shortcomings, I was still able to find enjoyment in playing it. I remember those days getting KO'ed going to 1.0 Drybone Camp from all the aggessive monsters with my dagger-wielding GLA.



When I first heard that the game was going to be redesigned, I was excited. I got even more excited when I learned of the Arcanist class having pets. And when A Realm Reborn got released, I was very satisfied. If only I have my old screenshots with me, I will post it here but those screenshots are long gone with my old PC. I continued on with my GLA, played it until I got it to 50, and then I remembered about the ACN.

The moment I got my hands on my Weathered Griomoire and Summoned Carbuncle for the first time, I loved the game even more. It was very fun to be able to run around with a Carbuncle, manage where to place it, the DoT management. It was perfect. Then I get to play as SMN. Not the fan of the Egi's at first and had hoped I can still used Carbuncle. Nonetheless, I adjusted. I still had fun.

Then I got curious with SCH, so I unlocked it. After giving it a few dungeon runs, I have decided that SCH will be the job I will main once I unlock everything. I enjoyed the fact that I can stay in Cleric Stance for longer at the same time when it's quite problematic with CNJ. It continued up to Heavensward. I was so happy when I unlocked Indomitability as finally, I get to have an actual AoE heal that does not eat up my MP. But then real life had me to stop playing the game... I think it was around A4S that time. Even though I stopped playing, I still watched a lot of videos of SCH POVs, I think my most watched one was the 24-SCH Syrcus Tower run from Hyperion.

Basically, I was not able to play Stormblood and Shadow Bringers. When I came back on Endwalker, the changes to SCH and SMN had let me down, badly. SMN was the worst.

Pets no longer taking damage/gaining enmity, SMN pets no longer doing attacks and are just there standing, losing Rouse over Seraph.

If you will open a classic server I will immediately go there just so I can experience having to manage the pet once again.

I ask of you, kindly bring back the pet mechanics to SCH, at the very least. Do whatever you like with SMN, I completely lost faith and interest on it post-rework.

I have a link to the Healer Wishlist Thread in my signature of what I would like to see on SCH, once again.

I want to conitnue loving the game.

Again, thank you so much.
