Summoner Pet's design and appearance

[Akiza]

The Egis suck from a design and appearance stand point Summoner's don't even care if their pet dies until it's time to use Rouse or Spur then it feels like a waste of mp to re summon a lackluster pet. There should've been balance between single player Final Fantasy summons and MMORPG gameplay but instead square went with the Sorcerer pet from DCUO.
I'd rather have impressive pet visuals, skills and still provide support damage than a lackluster pet that looks like floating candy, have poor skills and won't be missed if it died.

Uh, no self respecting Summoner is going to leave their pet dead because it looks lackluster because it provides a good bit of damage. They would be doing their group a disservice by not having their pet up, and I would hope that any such Summoner would be promptly removed from the group.

But self respecting Summoner's do moan and groan about having to waste mp re summoning it.

What self-respecting Summoner is lacking MP to re-summon? And please stop using your opinions to stand for every SMN player

Okay, so? Sure it's a pain to have to re-summon just like it's a pain when a Dragoon misses a Heavy Thrust/Impulse Drive, when a Monk loses Greased Lightning stacks or can't get positions, when a Black Mage misses procs, and all the other myriad of abilities that players have to either re-do or just plan lose out on when mechanics don't go your way. It still doesn't explain why you think summoners don't care to re-summon and willingly screw themselves out of damage. I don't know of any self respecting summoner that does that...just bad ones.
