The reason Summoner needs revamp threads keep popping up

[Akiza]

lets not forget they can give the DoT class to other class's in the future as of now its restricted SE needs to think hard.

Do they want us summoners to have pure DoT or pure Egi or are they going to balances it. I would have egi any day.

I think they need to balance the Summoner between Dots and Pets. Based on what Egi is out the Summoner gains control over that specific element ie
Ifrit Egi -The Summoner gains ability to summon fire down from the skin which apply burning dots to up to 4 enemies
Titan Egi - The Summoner gains the ability to summon earth quakes which apply heavy to all enemies in the aoe
Garuda Egi - The Summoner gains the ability to summon tornados which apply wind burn to all enemies.

That would make sense if they let the egi do the dotting tho.

How about commanding the Egi to perform its field elemental aoe attack which apply dots like we do Enkindle when commanding the Egi to perform its signature attack.

Yeah that would also work and give us summoner full control of over our egi.

So the biggest issue with SMN is pet design? Really? Not that only one out of three Egi is worth using? Or the lack of AoE burst damage for dungeon trash mobs? Or the lack of decent crowd control?

yeah I can't stand the design of it its a next gen pc mmo yet they gave us pile of rocks to play with titan.

Also most players have moved from final fantasy XI so they expect it to be bit different no one asking for the same crap that was in final fantasy XI.

When you have spec like those then you would want something close like crysis on ultra settings graphic wise. (Thats what I'm asking for as summoner for the egi.)
