SMN Why don't we hear about egi glamours anymore?

Actually I think it's the opposite. You're more involved with your pet than ever with the current pet rework. Back in Stormblood it was viable to just keep Ifrit on Sic if you don't care too much about minmaxing your damage, while you only cared about Garuda's contagion but forget it exists afterwards.

Not really, but that's okay we can agree to disagree. Now, sure we have some buttons to click, but besides that our pets are basically invulnerable--invincible--and therefore irrelevant to gameplay in every way except for dps mitigation. I really enjoyed healing my pet with the SMN and playing through the pet by letting it tank for me...but, those days are gone. Now it's basically just a glorified floating dot with a few DD clickies.

So it's not like what you're saying isn't true...I just really don't like the fact pets are untargetable, and hence, incapable of tanking.
