The problem with Tripling Down on Shadowbringers Job Design

[Graveyardprincess]

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.

Ew is horrible in alot of ways but honestly it did Summoner a great service into turning it what it should have been all along, SUMMONER IN FF as always been a prime pet user not a wow fanboys warlock lol and honestly the summoner abilitys should be removed from blue mages and given to summoner. Summoner shouldn't even have ruin it should only have things related to summoning period

and the only reason im not playing it in dt, is the stupid devs just gave it another stupid bahamut and not levi,shiva,ramuh etc and if they wanted a 3rd set for them there was always alexander,anima,ark etc


and if im being honest the only reason we arent getting more pet reletaed stuff is yoshi p probely got owned in wow pvp by hunters and unholy dks, ice mages, demo warlocks and cried alot over it lol

in fact in 2.0 smn should have never been a part of acn job, it should have been a part of black mage/thaum if anything
