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

No need for anyone to disappear. The summon will just be how the SMN does damage/tank.

And if the egi is KOed there goes 100% of your damage, followed by any hope of Summoners having spots in any decent party. Look at how lots of people are using Black Mage instead of Summoner on the Last Coil just because of the MP issues we have there, which isn't nearly as bad as the vulnerability we'd have with the bulk of the damage coming from the egi.

The SMN dodges as normal with various abilities given to him to keep the summon alive.

The only ability given to the summoner is Sustain, and that is not enough for what you're proposing. They'd have to make pets basically invincible.
