Well to be honest with how the game is designed/coded it's obvious they're having a hard time with making it so pet-oriented and have tried to step away from it with each expansion, and I think it's a good thing because anything that involves the pets (especially the egi) at the moment is a source of clunkiness and frustration. Not that I don't like it being a pet job, but I do like the direction SMN is going with Trances and Demi.

That and there's really no point in a healing pet. Play SCH for that, and a tank pet is counteracts Demi summon and was largely ineffective or outright useless ever since 2.x. To me the new Titan is more than welcome.

And I have to disagree, it's more of a Summoner than it is back then, with a more promising approach like Trances and Demi that I hope they continue in the next expansion.
