Hello everyone, I just got Summoner a few days ago after getting my White Mage to 30.
Alittle background info on me... I love being a healer and that's what I've always been with my group of friends. But every now and then I like to have alittle change. So I picked summoner because I saw it had a good boost to my main job, and it would give me that change as I leveled it up... or so I thought.
Tonight we were leveling and sadly we had sort of an iffy make up. Paladin, Warrior, Warrior, Bard, Summoner Me, and a Blue Mage. As you can see we were mostly melee, actually that's all the damage was.... melee. And while we were killing crabs, on occasion they would increase their defense damage pretty much stopped. At this time even though I was the main healer at this time (sad kitty I was) I thought, maybe I can sneak in some damage to help. So I send Carbuncle in... and to my surpise he's doing the same, if not worse damage then everyone else.
Now I know it might be alittle early in the game, but I'm 14 on my summoner... and want to know... summoners DO, do damage right...? And if so... how? All I see right now is a big mana pool and Cure I which isn't even from this job.
Is the role of a summoner really a healer, or am I doing something horribly wrong?
Also I should add, the Blue Mage is changing to his White Mage starting tomorrow... I thought it was a great thing at first... but now I'm starting to wonder...
Thank you for listening and any help you may give,
Linra
