Strictly speaking, gameplay-wise I like SMN and WHM the best.
Carbuncle definitely made the first 30 levels of levelling THAT much more annoying, but I really liked how Summoner tied in elements of the other two disciplines with the maths of Arcanist, such as being able to channel the elements to summon your Egis.
I've already established that my character is a bitter Adventurer angry at the establishment much like Squall Leonhart, and ultimately ends up allied with the Scions. Several others believe the most fitting class for my character is Arcanist, based on a number of other key traits I have listed. Becoming a Summoner would satisfy her need to be independent and unique, but the real questions are whether or not Miranda would be willing to live with all the brigands and alcoholics in Limsa Lominsa long enough to learn Arcanima, would she show much of an interest in it to begin with, and how common Souls of the Summoner are.
On the other hand, Miranda would definitely get along well with Kan-E-Senna, and there ARE a number of other Conjurer NPCs in-game that display some of her key traits, namely the disbelief in tough love and desire for peace. This would fit her ideals, but Gridania's tendency towards rude comments and threats makes it seem like the worst possible place for her to live. If I went this path she would definitely be a CNJ and not a WHM, because lore-wise it is confirmed there is only one non-Padjal WHM.
The problem is further compounded by the fact that I have decided that I find it too tiring to level more than one class on a single character, because there's just not enough quests and you have to resort to grinding out FATEs and Levequests, which gets repetitive fast.
Everyone on this board seems content to give me full authority to decide which course to take - if I believe Conjury would be a good fit for my character, will everyone here fully support my decision?
