Now that summoner has received a revamp do you guys think SMN is going to finally get access to shiva,leviathan, and Ramuh in the future? Kinda of weird thing that they didn’t incorporate them with such a big revamp.

Saving it for next expac.
Easy implementation without upsetting the flow.
Agreed.
They could replace Ifrit/Garuda/Titan after the Phoenix phase, but their effect would need to be similar to the other summons, to make planning on the rotation consistent, as this part of planning is a big part of the new SMN optimization. (decide when to use long cast, when to use instant casts etc)
Which means it would be kinda pointless and just a different color to the same thing...
So yeah, having them consume Aetherflow would make sense I agree.
I honestly wish they would just add leviathan, ramuh, and shiva glamours on top of garuda, titan and ifrit. The job has always felt very incomplete from the perspective of not having access to shiva, ramuh and leviathan this far into the game's life.
We're on the 4th expansion pack of the game if you count heavensward as the first expansion. Jobs like BLM have been building on top of a base that have been around since 2.0. SMN has already had many minor revisions since its implementation.
As happy as I am with the changes, we're basically starting at square 1 again. I feel like had this been our job from 2.0 (with them finally adding the primal summons at 90), we would have had leviathan, shiva, and ramuh-egi added somewhere between 46-80.
My fear is that they add them in 7.0 and then we have this 2 minute rotation where we have Bahamut - Garuda, Titan, Ifrit - Phoenix - Leviathah - Shiva - Ramuh and have big penalties for dying
The simplest reason lore wise why we will never get a Shiva summon is that we do not dare summon even a copy of her and it get back to Hraesvelgr. He has already made it clear that he was not happy with Ysayle and he trusts us to honor her memory.
I quite literally do not care about lore in this regard seeing as how half the playerbase runs around in froggy suits and flying cars. Give us Shiva, Leviathan, Ramuh, Alexander, and all the classic summons whether as glam or unique abilities.
We are long past the point where we should allow lore to restrict people's fun and overall class fantasy.
