Thoughts on summoner class?

[lostinseganet]

When I came back to the game they added the summoner class. What does everyone think of it? The first thing I read when I looked it up was its broken, as in does unfair amounts of damage where nothing is a challenge. Is this true? Does it turn into a boring class at high levels?

Mags should have been able to do what summoners do

Oh getting to use a mag like that would be fun! I think a mag specialist class would of been interesting to use

A few things:

1) My life isn't so shallow to try to prove my intelligence here to anyone, especially to people who I do not know, nor care to know me. In fact, I lower myself in order to communicate and facilitate with people here....and that is a good thing because part of communication is reaching your audience.

2) If you have a problem, tell me. The kind of people I need and want in my life are people who can be adults and not be afraid to be man or woman enough to actually tell me off and not write themselves as passive jerks. Kindness is something I do not want, or need.

3) As I read many posts here... I instantaneously (a second nature thing) calculate in my head your probability of lying, as well as your probability of your information having good integrity. I can also calculate need. Its amazing all the kindness and benefit of the doubt I give people here without simply blowing up and just calling each person out on every crappy thing that comes across.

4) People don't like long posts. Then again people don't like anything that is long anymore. You don't have to read if you don't want to. Deep down I actually do care about helping those who are worth it. Forumboards are Forumboards. They are not TEXT-Messages...if they were... I would do my utmost best to say everything I need to say in my 160 character limit and nothing more..

Last but not least:

It's not my fault that people fail to see how I connect information. I used to think that was my problem you know. I used to think I was to blame for being "off topic" until I met someone with my IQ who did the exact same thing in data extrapolation and comparison. Then it hit me in our discussion that such methods have not been taught since the 90s, and colleges only give students minimum exposure to it in a world where everyone is trying to play it safe and not take any risks.

I am a masshole,
You are either going to love me
or fucking hate me.

There is no mystery and at least I make it easy.
Really....

Do you have an estimate on how many people will skip reading to the end? I suppose only people who specifically dislike you or are interested in what you're saying would bother nowadays.

or fucking hate me.

Can I be a tiny bit of both? I certainly don't hate anyone, but honestly speaking, my opinion is a little complex. Then again, I'm a simple person with inferiority complex issues.

Interesting combination lol
Even I'll admit we're all "off topic" at this point but I'm enjoying reading perspectives from so many people.

Part of the "fun" of forums is that you get to meet people. Considering where forums originally came from, I'd say it's appropriate.

Plus, I think we established that you decided to main Fighter, so the issue is more or less resolved.

[Shinnomura]

Yep, fighter sounds and feels really enjoyable, as soon as I get used to closing distance again.

I think Summoner is ok, and I've enjoyed playing around with Maron a lot.

What interests me more in this topic is the strange back and forth meta debate.

Being straightforward, I think Keilyn is mostly in the right. All they were doing was stating their opinion. By calling them autistic among other things, it actually irritates me a little. Especially since it must be upsetting for people who actually have been professionally labelled that way.

This is a forum, if you disagree with someone you should be disagreeing with their points. Character assassination is just unkind and unnecessary and gets us nowhere in the original discussion.

Out of respect for Keilyn I'll also be straightforward and say that despite being more or less on your side in this, you've said some things that really don't support your case.

You say that you "lower [yourself] in order to communicate and facilitate with people here".

This is quite rude, but to people who disagree with you - you've just given them extra ammunition. Because if it really was your aim to lower yourself to their level and blend in, you've failed. Being an individual and not standing for classroom politics is all very good.

But saying you have to put in conscious effort to lower yourself to another's level, as a response to being called out for being high and mighty, seems a little foolish. It'll just anger anyone who's already decided they don't like you and doesn't make a lot of sense.

As you can tell, I'm on a high horse myself.

Despite that:

As a disclaimer, I'm an idiot. If I was smart I'd not have posted anything at all, but I just felt like throwing myself into the fire for some reason.

Also, Altiea, I don't know your situation but if you have an inferiority complex. I just wish you all the best with that. Even if you can't, just live as proudly as you can.

And don't write stupid posts like me.

Love and peace, everyone.

I hope that was a Vash quote at the end lol
I'm glad to meet another person who can be opinionated without unnecessarily putting down others or their opinions.
