Conjurer – Jack of All and King of None?

Friends: I’ve been ogling conjurer as my primary’s class.  I think a conjurer looks to be a fill for missing class in a group: Tank, Cleric, Mage. I also think it challenging to understand how each other class works.  The don'ts is not to pull a mob or agro as a tank before the group is ready, heal everyone or dps not causing a wipe, or understanding the nuances of mage spells. Other than a fill-in, what makes a conjurer its own class important?  In other words, the other classes have a specific role to play in a group. What makes a conjurer do something in a group that stands out other than a stand in?  That being said, the reputation of a conjurer understanding the different classes will make or break 'us/them' on a server. Insight appreciated Thank you.

    Well, a conjurer is a summoner-summoner so they can't heal, tank or do DPS as it's their minion's job and even then it may just be a soft type of each. Truth be told we will not know till we can see the class.

    Should they of switched the base class to conjurer and then made conjurer-conjurer = summoner maybe?

    Not really as that stops all 8 classes that use Summoner like the necromancer

    I'm hoping that there will be a wide array of summoner types. I'd like there to be a swarmer that conjures many weak enemies, a channeler that can empower themselves with their summons (tanky summon means tanky powers), one that could have a very powerful single summon that deals most of their damage, etc. I hope this will allow them to fill any role... naturally not as good as a pure healer/tank/dps but should be good enough to do most content. And if that is the case... their utility should make them a valuable asset for any group (summoning parties like the warlock in wow would be very valuable).

    every party should have a summoner just to keep the costs down ^^

    I am so looking forward to seeing more information on all the summoner classes. Conjurer I would imagine will be a welcomed addition to most parties.

    Final thoughts: Summoners & Conjurers need to be designed with competent base spells and potency (weather tank, mage, cleric). Otherwise, were just another DPS along for the ride. Make us worth while in a pinch when you need a class that is illusive.  I imagine, the ‘summoner’ is analogous to what a lot of folks want to play yet is unrewarding. I’d like to be a conjurer and lead my friends to victory particularly when I / we have to fill a role. Jack of All and King of None.
