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

I think it should get reworked in a sense that the pet-skills SHOULD be more integrated into the caster's skills, like contagion for example..
so far ifrit/titan and garuda are not affected by the caster's playstyle in a sense that the dots have no relationship whatsoever with the pet-skills which singles out a pet over the others aka garuda..I would've liked to see pets having much more of an affect over the caster to enhance their casts..this way all pets would be op, and having to swap pets in 1 fight should make this class a purely summoning class for that purpose~

Also, I would like to see the summoner spells getting a mana-cost reduction because it does drain much mana on long fights, especially with ifrit..
it's sad that a summoning class being unable to re-summon other pets or replace whenever needed due to the high mana-cost being placed on summoning pets during the fight..

I think everyone agrees that the problem is that, at the moment, Garuda > All. Some changes to pet equality would be good. However, you're "inability" to resummon is unfounded. I admit that the summons spells all cost a fair amount of MP, however, you also have access to an ability with a decently short CD to give you almost all of that back. As a SMN, even with tossing in random miasma 2s and keeping SF up at all times I have yet to run out of MP in a fight when DPSing. Key words: When DPSing. If I'm being used for battle rez, that's another story.
