(Summoner's perspective) Go for c4. We got almost 500 2nd class summoners and I bet you 450 of them quit



I personally didn't quit but I abandoned the class after 62long-levels, months of grinding, until c4, which is ultra-sad.
It's not a new game, it was made for these times, back then they'd invite anyone anywhere.
Now summoners need to get to lvl75 without getting invited in a group with anyone even once in c3 and ofc killing only blue-purple mobs because mobs of the same level will take 1 minute to die.
Not to mention that these mobs are in far off locations with no drop. So you're constantly forever poor since you waste many crystals keeping the pet summoned.
If you see summoner soloing in toi lower floors keep in mind he begged for buffs from a group there that didn't invite him and even with VR he wastes his full mana healing the pet after 6 mobs

(With BW L + Men+5 Dyes)
To put this into perspective I kill the same mob faster with my new TH and ds focus+0 and soulshot C than with same level summoner with pet and ds focus+9 and soulshot C (tested)
Plus I don't die with VR meanwhile pet dies ultra fast because of no soulshot and no damage.
And no the answer shouldn't be "just play another class". These 3 classes (4 with necro) shouldn't be "untouched for the first 3 patches" I've been through so many classic servers but they all had ONE massive change. They put pet soulshots since c1
C4 will be enjoyable for all the classes because there is a balance.
I don't understand how people cry about wanting the game to stay in c3 because only a few people are 75 with good gear and if it becomes c4 they will get epic rings and top spots in New farming locations and the gap will be bigger.
Let me clarify this. Some people put 1000 hours in c3 while you put 500.
C3 won't save you. They will put another 1000 hours in c4 while you put 500.
There is always gap, begging for extra time won't change the outcome. You play more you win more.
