I think the should scrap the current summoner system and make it all about the pets, like in ff11 but the twist here is that like 11 pets do most of the damage but you are controlling their skills. By this i mean like how any job uses a skill to attack in this new system instead of you doing the action your pet is. It would be similar to 11 but better. Also it wouldn't kill them to make the pets bigger and maybe redesign it to look more like the primals. You should be able to still cast ruin and dots as very little damage. What do you all think about this and do you thin SE will actually implement this system.

Its a little too late now to be revamping an entire class. You'd be better off making a whole new one.

If thats the case then they should rename this class evoker and then make the new class summoner with the above skills and actions.

not again. the quests even explain why we have egis the way they are. also the whole story tells you all the time that real summoning is bad. there will never be summoner in this game that plays like X or XI...

Your not understanding at all. I'm not talking about real avatars. I am still talking about egi's and that the skills you get as you lvl up are for them instead of yourself. Also they can make up a whole new story in 4.0 lile they did in 3.0 about how you can increase the limit of how many egi's you can summon. Also what is wrong with them being a little bigger?

It's honestly too late for that. At this point in the game they're not going to change the whole job around nor will they change the name. They also won't make another summoning jobs when there is a ton of other jobs that they themselves as well as others are interested in. Honestly they mentioned before they weren't all that interested in summoner but made it because people were pushing for it, so there's no way they're going to skip other types of jobs to basically make another type of summoner.
I don't disagree with you at in the fact that this really doesn't feel like a summoner job and I'm not a big fan of the egis but at this point we have to accept this is what it's going to be unless they have a new rebirth or the next Final Fantasy MMO comes out in a long time from now. Doubt it'll be the last time that we'll get jobs that will feel and play a lot more different then they did in other Final Fantasies simply because it has to fit with the lore / mechanics of an MMO. -

to be honest they should just remove the pets since they are not gonna release glamour or new pets anyways. Just give our abilities a buff and call it a day. SMN in ffxiv was never a true summoner to begin with, there's no reason to even keep the damn pets.

You people really need to let this go.
Also isn't FFXV with their cutscene-inducing summons coming out soon? Should be plenty for you all to ooh and aww over then, instead of this stubborn refusal to respect the decision the devs made for the XIV Summoner going forward.
