Any hate i have seen regarded to the summoner class is often backed by sub brick difficulty slop shovelers appalled by the notion of any gameplay deeper than bossfights and "progression" enthusiasts. When you build what kind of weapon do you trust to defend you in your deep thought? Mage, melee, ranged? don't be ridiculous, you have a summon. No other class holds the fruits of a difficulty slider dependent upon how many summons you CHOOSE to deploy. Unlike other classes (true melee) who rejoice in being unable to reach the boss with their carnotaurus esque arm span, advocating that being stepped on by the short sighted indulgences of difficulty slop, looking down on culture, people who build, create, breathe life into the environment rather than engage in the equivalent of a dolphin nose punching a quillfish in their endless chase for the big next thing.
