So in the end what would Ramuh, Leviathan or Shiva egis even bring to the table that the other three don't already bring? Support Egis? Forget it because either they will be too OP or not worth it all in any way shape or form. The only thing you can do is what they already have planned which is the Egi glamour system. Let you change the look, but not the functionality of the Egi you use. It lets you be unique and stand out as a Summoner compared to others based on the Egi you use as well as doesn't fall into traps/issues that adding another pet would bring.
Ok, what if Ramuh egi has a skill called "Static Charge" and it increases your dot potency enough to equal the amount of damage you gain from 15 additional seconds added to the dot? He also has a basic range attack, an AoE attack, and a push back attack. Sounds a bit like Garuda with just a variation in the Contagion v. "static charge" skills. But in fact, Ramuh has a niche role for times a mob is going to or needs to die faster than those additional 15 seconds.
