And I absolutely adore the XI Summoner but unless I was solo or at end game, I couldn't really be it.
XI Summoner is currently not a healing battery at any point in the game, levelling up or otherwise. Someone at SE actually gives us gear with pet stats now!

Nothing about XI's Summoner mechanically made it suited to healing. Nothing about it mechanically made it weak offensively. Bad balancing and a complete lack of equipment did that. No one is asking for bad balancing and a lack of gear to be imported into XIV.
