Can't believe this is still going on. The simple answer is no. What everyone seems to be forgetting is that SMN is not the main focus of being a SMN; ACN is. ACN use Mathmatics to manipulate aether to use it how they see fit. What does this mean? It means they can just blast straight unaspected aether (ruin, ruinII with a blind debuff), they can summon minions (the carbuncle), they can make you sick (bio, miasma, ect.), or whatever SE wants them to be able to do. SMN is nothing more than a specialized extention of that in the fact that they can now summon egis of certain primals. If they were to rework SMN they would have to make a new class for SMN to branch from and that would make just about as much sense as it coming from ACN. SMN is perfectly fine the way it is.
