SUMMONER, WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE OR ADD? (EVOLUTION & STAT ALLOCATION)

[ParanoidHobo]

Departing from reality for a moment: I kinda wish SMN had been implemented more as a WoW druid than a WoW warlock, with each summon being your forms. You do your summon, Titan for example, and the camera swaps positions and you're controlling Titan directly while your character is basically just a minion to Titan; intangible, following it around, doin some finger wagglin to coincide with the attacks you use. Each "form" has it's own set of skills to allow it to perform whatever role it's intended for. If "you" die the summon vanishes, perspective shifts back to your actual character and you suffer 50% health loss and are stunned for 5 seconds, or somethin. All enmity your pet had generated is transferred back to you, and if you survive long enough to resummon, is again transferred back to your summon. That's probably incredibly broken.
This wouldn't work under the current game systems anyway and would probably be considered ridiculously OP being able to be a melee(Ifrit), ranged(Garuda), tank(Titan) and healer(Fairy) all in the same class.

Back to reality: I'd settle for current SMN/SCH to just let my pets behave properly... the fairies especially. If you try to manually use a fairy ability it snaps back into free-for-all mode and rattles off all its abilities at a rate that seems faster than should be possible -_- I can't even get it back into Steady before it just completely unloads at times.

That's pretty much how they did it in FF X.
