I'm sorry but original ast in stormblood was about the coolest and funnest job to play, and if you were smart and knew when and how to use your cards you could basicly turn your team to gods. For example when arrow gave haste it was amazing on blms
Scholar peaked in heavensward and summoner they were getting really close to nailing between sb and shb. Smn is significantly less fun in ew and presumably dawntrail than it was prior to being remade in black mage’s image.

Blue mage still captures the traditional summoner fantasy more fully than (n)ewsmn as it has a flexible and broad suite of spells with varying impact and effects while not being built on the skeleton of a pet job. Prior to endwalker I did not know there was this unhappy union of pet job and black mage, and yet here we are.
