[Pole] Do you want to see the summoner class reworked?

Votes updated again.

Just want to say that I think this job's gameplay is rather entertaining and quite efficient. Neither of those though, are reasons we are voting Yes. The reason we vote yes is because the gameplay is not a SMNR.

out of the MMO rpgs I've played, this game (the summoner class to be exact) has probably the strongest pets I've seen (in a raiding scenario), the pet does about 30% of your damage...

first off... our SMN still doesn't do even 30% of our total damage. Aside from the decrease in damage output, our gameplay is not effected at all by our summon being out. There is nothing we would do differently (aside from cast contagion once every few mobs or minute) if we didn't have a summon. We would still have practically the EXACT SAME ROTATION. Does this not seem a bit sad for a class that is named after it's summon?!? This is the core defect in this job that needs to be reworked.

Then what is the gameplay of a Summoner? Is it just in comparison to FFXI and past FF games? As I said before, I think the egi could use a re-working, but I like how the FFXIV Summoner class is different to past incarnations, how it has the DoT element which means we do not just rely on our Egi, aeons etc...
