I don't understand. Why isn't /SAM a decent choice for Summoner?

Hvergelmir is a 390 delay weapon that gets a double damage aftermath when you use its weapon skill (considering the damage difference between using its WS and Spirit Taker I think it isn't an issue). With SMN/SAM you can use Hasso with about no penalty, you get third eye, and you'd get to continue full-timing Garuda.

Basically that means you get Hasso's 10% Haste, Garuda's 15% Haste, and 25% Haste in gear (but only listed at 25% so it might be short of cap), and on an eight hit build. Obviously you wouldn't be a Warrior, but you'd be doing a fair amount of damage and you'd have Garuda out while maintaining your MP levels handily.

I think it would be a bit close minded to think that such a play style wouldn't be viable in any situation ever.
