<p>I really am impressed in how much we love to play this class give the endless lists of issues, bugs , poor design, developer incompetence/apathy towards summoners.</p><p>Somethign as simple as our 5 piece set bonus was missign some text..... still nto fixed this is not evne the tip of the icebuerg and we are going down faster then the Titanic; sadley we haven't even left port yet. As the list of problems grows every few weeks and fewer and fewer peopel are willing to put up with the shoddiest customer service I have ever seen there will eventually be the impetus to "fix" this class and our sister class the conjy which given SOE's track record will then turn us into the flavor of the month is really not the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel I or i ssupect most the remaining stragglers are looking for. I figured I can hide my little essay here in the Class forum since honestly only we read them and post here. The number 1 issue that really needs to be addressed is communication this is teh biggest stumbling block this development team has and really have done nothing to fix or to improve on, what makes it even worst is that have have a complete customer service team at their disposal and still can't get this simple thing right.</p><p>On the Major class/archtype issues are we expecting an overnight single live update fix, dear god no and if there was one announced i would shudder to think how slapped together it would be. But what we really want is the basic respect to have the small things fixed, the pet class whos pets actually can be used (a.k.a, the fights that require visions/status effects, or have pets that don't run off to Nebraska before casting a spell/tank pet that actually taunts, scout pet that actualy ironically is a perfect example of the summoner class I.E. the pet that has no place or real use.</p><p>Lets see so far to placate us they have added pet effects to gear at a coast to our personnel stats:</p><p>Powerflux: sadley nearly useless adds so little daamge to the pet and far to little critical bonsu to make a statiscial difference, there seems to be a trade of 1 spell crit to 1 power flux when emperically you ned 4powerflux to evne come close to the damage out put of 1 spell crit (once again pet A.I.)</p><p>Summoners Vengence: so terrible it adds no statistically noticable effect to any pet such a waste of time, effort, manpower, its really insulting to even see this on any gear.</p><p>Quicksilver blood: once again the pet A.I. m akes this fairly insubstantial while recast for the pets could be great, but since they stick to a set casting order the faster recast doesn't allow the pet to actually gain any real benifit from it.</p><p>Finally all the pet based procs are so aweful do to thier low proc rate and how slow the pets even the scout pet casts making the procs very por choices.</p><p>And finally my last complaint is the swarm pets its great to have spells that gain no benisfit from spell crit, spell crit bonus, +spell damage, pet gear, with bad hit rates and that are killable its great not only does 30% of my class not gain any significant bonus from my gear I have between 3 to 5 personnel spells that don't either such a well thoguht out plan there. Once again summoners must have Hellen Keller as our lead designer, Blind, deaf, oh and dead.</p><p>Compas</p><p>80 Necromancer</p><p>Unrest</p>
