After years of playing Summoner, I'm shelving the job and here's why.

I think you are, especially when Heel basically does this (although it's not a teleport). I'm not at all in favor of using a GCD just to insta-move a pet. SMN has far bigger problems.

Heel is slow and makes it hard to get pets out of AOEs. A Rescue-like ability to pull them out would be helpful in my opinion.

Also, I'd really like for pets to lose their auto-attacks and instead make them normal abilities you can control under obey since the auto-attacks require GCD and/or casting making them harder to control. In honesty, I think Summons should work like controlling two characters rather than one and a semi-automated one.
