(Un)Official Arcanist/Summmoner Feedback Thread

[Kevee]

sadly i wanted a smn badly in ffxiv and when it came out i was dissapointed a lot, i wanted a summoner not a dot class like spirit master from aion or warlock from wow, i hate those, i wanted my summoner as a final fantasy summoner not a pet class, i wanted him to cast summons as spells, not control them as pets like a hunter, if it is up to me fixing ifrit won't help with anything that i see as a summoner class, fixing bane won't help anything, i just want a full overhaul of this class, i don't know what did the people who made this class smoking, did they ever PLAY ANY FF GAME? did they ever SEE A SUMMONER? i am confused and sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and angry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
copy pasting this from another thread, this is not helpful to anyone just wanted to say my opinion on everything, all in all i would like to summons do more damage and not me

Have YOU seen any FF Summoner?

I think, Kevee, that people are used to when a smn does not have all their spells available to them, their summons were more useful at those times. I am sure that you are the kind of player that likes to unlock/master everything in a game, which then makes summons obsolete. However, most players do not do that(though I certainly do). in early gameplay in games that involve summons, using them is actually beneficial. This is what people are pertaining to about summoners and their summons.

I am ok with how SMN works, I just think that a few changes with the pets is in order to give a reason to use more than just Garuda(as well as enkindle being more viable).
