Don't be a nitpick. The core concern you should care about is having the Pet be the bulk of the dps output. And not a glorified DoT. Players wanted a Pet class and they completely failed to deliver. Playstyle should be around the pet and not the master.

Funny thing with Titan Egi though. When it was able to Tank Ramuh Ex...the devs pretty much said "no no no a summoner beating content through it's pet? Poppycock! nerf nerf nerf"

Yeah exactly.

Why doesn't Ifrit have a line AoE rushdown attack? What about a party wide Earthen Ward? What about Rage of the Land being a Quake attack that does aoe damage with massive range? Why aren't we getting new egi's with new skills as primals get defeated and the SMN pulls partial strength from them? SMN doesn't need to summon the real thing. It could be a damn Astral Projection if they wanted it to be.

Why can we trance an Elder Primal but fail at life to conjure a sissy egi of Ramuh...who isn't a Elder Primal?

And then the kicker between BLM and SMN

SMN - Not enough aether. Can't summon shit. Taking aether from wasteland planet is bad.

BLM - Who cares. Take all the aether and mix it with your own and make em go boom.

But I'm sure Egi glamour will make ALL THE DIFFERENCE. Surely it will make me say "oh yes that's a summoner all right". NOT.
