Why are summoners so neglected?

[Atlaworks]

Snip.

You are also asking for a "Add" rather than "Change". Can't have your cake and eat it too. You only get so many abilities.

So they can be half assed too in the name of "balance"?

Oh, no, just to rouse your ire as always. Unless you have a better idea? You do, don't you. You made this 46 page long topic, after all. What is "balance" to you? Or, since you disdain it so, do you care about a balanced summoner? Would you just prefer to have your 6 egis and dreadwyrm trance and ruin 3 and healing and tanking too? I'd love to hear your thoughts on how to fix this problem you've both created and revived this topic for.
