Why are you hating on an ability that you've only just seen?
Because we have a lot "cool looking' abilities on SMN now. Just because it looks pretty doesn't mean it does squat for damage or utility. No one is hating on it, we're just not passing judgement based on the cool name and pretty animation. As I said above it has potential, but considering how SMN has been treated by devs in the past year (see Akeda's comments) was it really too much to ask to have the egis we were promised and to have them fix the job a little bit. Heck even giving us our own gear, or make it where if we use food (mainly acc food) affect our pets would have been something, this is a joke. Why is it that every single other class can use acc food to meet requirements, yet we have one requirement for us, and another for our pet. You can't give us gear that meets BLM needs but then demand more accuracy for SMN with shared gear pool.

This is just the final nail in the coffin. They could have done so much with SMN and it's basically us getting walked all over once again, silly us for thinking they would actually deliver this time.

If I could have a SMN wishlist it would look something like this, in no particular order.

1. New egis we were promised.
2. Reduce CD timer on Enkindle to 3 min, or have it reset when there is a wipe.
2. Separate gear for SMN and BLM.
3. Allow food to affect pets OR either lower the acc requirements for pets or give us more acc gear.
4. Balance egis so they all have a purpose in endgame, party content.
5. Change Bane back to hitting all mobs in same area.

I don't feel like any of these are asking too much, SMN needs an overhaul and these, among other things, could help. I can see ppl saying the Bane one might be OP but until you have to dot 2-3 other adds and then Bane off them to hit the rest of the targets you have no idea what a pain this is. Obv egis aren't going to happen but I put it up there anyway.
Changing Enkindle to 3 mins would make it same as Perfect Balance for MNKs. There is no reason one should have a longer CD than the other.
At this point I am pretty sure we're not likely to get any of these things either in xpac, or ever, but I think they should be considered.
