The whole Summoner "has been re-worked" is sad

[Yuri_Hyuga]

The problem is we haven't seen how the new abilities change the Summoner so it's impossible to make in argument about what needs fixing...

No, no, no. Just like with the NIN thread, counter-arguers are missing the point.

The issue many of us have with SMN is that it lacks emphasis on the summons themselves.

Dreadwyrm Trance is a pretty easy tell that they're not putting enough added emphasis (in our opinion) on the summons, but pushing more emphasis on the master's magical capabilities.

With NIN, it's the principle that they're applying positionals to a Job pitched as being that which wouldn't rely on positionals.

Again, super easy to glean without requiring add'l. details that they're taking these Jobs in directions we (those who argue on my side) dislike.
