I would be happy sacrificing new gear for SMN if they gave us more summons.
I wouldn't... I only make use of Titan and Garuda at this point anyway.

I'm already running a rotation that looks like this...

Single Target:
Quick Cast + Shadowflare>Bio 2>Miasma>Bio>(Garuda) Contagion>Fester>Ruin 3>Ruin 3>Fester>Rouse + Spur + Enkindle (Aerial Blast)>Ruin 3>Fester>Dreadwyrm Trance>Ruin 3 (x4)>Tri-Disaster>Deathflare (aka TeraFlare).

Thats not even including Raise during Raids, or Double tapping a Ruin 3 + Ruin 2 for a Dual cast quick 280 potency Burst.

Or on Multiple Targets.
Quick Cast + Shadowflare>Tri-Disaster>Garuda (Contagion)>Painflare>Bane>Rouse + Spur + Enkindle (Aerial Blast)>Painflare>Dreadwyrm Trance>Bliz 2 (x3)>Deathflare (aka TeraFlare).

I don't NEED another pet... I've already got a ton of abilities... and ALL of them get used. Well Admittedly I don't get much use out of Ifrit these days... only Titan and Garuda.

Its why I keep wondering if you guys have played this class or not to any respectable level.

Do you have any idea how many abilities this job ALREADY has? I already run 3 Bars worth of abilities on any given dungeon or raid... and I use ALL of them... NONE of my powers or abilities as a Summoner are not used with the exception of Tri-Bind and Virus... and Virus is actually useful... its just irrelevent at my level... (and so is Physic because is too low powered)
