A summoners return.

Think about it, if we have a Pet, Ramuh-Egi for example that regen MP and TP while doing a good amount of damages.
Why would you want a BRD or a MCH in your party ? They will become useless since the SMN will have more DPS and the same utility, that's not balanced at all.
If we get a HP regen pet, we are gonna be SCH wannabe, I don't want that and that doesn't make sense, There is no primals that heal something.

For the Egi that will buff allies, it would be the best pet and every SMN will use it and all the other egis will be left out.

You have to think about other jobs and synergy within a party, that's what a MMO is.

There are no primals currently in FF14 that heal, but there have been summons in past FF's that heal. And I didn't suggest a heal pet for summoner, I said maybe a mp/tp regen with a small value or buff radius, or a pet with a skill that boosts healers heals. And yes, current pets have a basic attack on 3 second cool down, but where does it say every pet has to have one?

Aiiro, if I used a pet that gave a regen buff, he'll even a hp one, I am not using Garuda or Ifrit which means I am losing that source of dps from A. Garudas Contagion or B. Ifrits auto attacks. That is a decent dps loss, summoner will not be on par with other dps classes.
