Summoner Early Post-Launch Feedback at level 80

[Dyvid]

You realize the biggest reason people are complaining about Summoner right now is that it has too many layers, and that the layers aren't very interesting or worthwhile, right? Unless your goal of "adding layers" is adding thematic layers instead of rotational layers, in which case I could get on board with that..

The problem isn't the layers, it's the layers just aren't working together with the job. But I've already giving plenty of feedback on how to get all this mechanics to mesh together in function. I'm saying it just a spell with recast timer. No flashy mechanics needed for it.

Not necessarily.
Post-Lv.80, they could always rework them so they fulfill a certain function (similar to BRD's songs, as in, rotating between them all in a "sequence").
Probably culminating into a high burst damaging one, like "Worm Trance" (ie. Shinryu's) or something.

It just starts to become an even more crowded field at that point, one that would require more rework, more takeaways, and ultimately more problems when it finally drops because of the unnecessary rework. A solid two Demi rotation is good. We are become more and more akin to BRD as it is. Each job needs its own identity with it's own unique playstyle.
