I was recapping this subject and thought... They aren't speaking anymore about this... because it will become pointless in the light of a possible SMN rework in 6.0?

Atm, despite being top dps or not, Summoner looks like a Frankenstein of a job. It's very clunkly to use and a lot of its abilities don't make a lot of sense with each other, but most of it all, the "pet" aspect of the job is nowadays almost non existent. This is why I really think, after the success of the MCH rework, they might consider this for SMN as well.
