Can smn be reworked into what Demonolgy Locks are?

I don't care for the idea of having multiple summoned primal up at once. Honestly, I would prefer if SMN wasn't even a pet class.

So what would you even have summoner as? the name implies that they summon so why shouldn't they bring out summons to deal dmg?

They could do what they do in all final fantasy games? Summon an actual primal(not egi versions) that show up do something remarkable and then go away.

Then what would the summoner do afterwards? just spam ruin spells like they are currently doing? With this they actually are summoning the big primals to do a attack then weaving in spells that summon other beings to do dmg as well.

Personally I would like to see SMN broken off from Arcanist entirely.

Then give them spells with a thematic that fits the primals under their command that fill up the gauge to summon the related primal for a big attack on the target. So that they are effectively rotating in build up for a sustained chain of primal summons that build up to a Bahamut finisher.

The "pets" are disappointments anyways, and when they go down the slow down everything the SMN can do at the moment and rob them of emergency utility.

More trances and each Trance procs Ruin to be a different spell.
