And to all the people who are all "omg old SMN are just summon and done"... anything could work for SMN. They could at least SOMEHOW match the concept of old summoners, or be creative and do something interesting with the pets. Instead, we got garbage pets who are nothing more than a side thing. This class was DoTs first, pet second, simply because they wanted to make both concepts work in the same class and disregarded how important the pet was to SMN and how much everyone wanted a pet oriented class.

This is not a pet oriented class; it's just a DoT caster who happens to have a pet.
