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

[Akiza]

If Summoner revolved around the pet, (i.e. it did most of the dps) that would open up issues with them having massive dps loss, if the pet died. I believe at one time or another Yoshi P even said as much. That is the reason why Summoner has the dot focus. Dots let them manage the pet, or rez fallen commrades with losing too much dps.

The reason SE doesn't want to make the Summoner revolve around the Pet is because they want to keep the class simple and generic no other reason.
