Fix Summoner Once and For All in 6.0 Please!

[Asheilin]

I loved Stormblood Summoner (even if I couldn't stand how punishing death was in prog). I love Phoenix....
I detest SMN in its current state. I keep trying to love it. But with the add to egi-assaults I've binned SMN for months. Upgrade its gear, try to learn it > Hate it > Bin it > repeat this whole expansion.

I've seen people say its in its best place ever, I've seen people hate it too.

The egi's being an npc always felt weird, having played it in every final fantasy, but having also played wow it made sense. It had its GCD, it did its shit, We told it to use its Nuke. Repeat.

The dots honestly feel better now then they did, because trance allows an easy refresh... When 5.0 came and they said summoner was getting a change that would improve it massively, I honestly thought it was lowering the CD to 30s for the dots so Summoner would be focusing on trance and not on the dots.. Instead we got active control of the egis... which are massively unresponsive/ghosting (Bahamut also guilty of this) Fishing for Ruin 4 by Egi-Assaults that have a 1/2 chance of not happening makes summoner just feel awful to me.

I miss playing summoner. I was forced to rdm most of SB, but when I wasn't with the static I was on SMN. It was my 2nd 80 and by the time I capped....change hit... I was feeling wth did you do to my class SE.
Do I want Egi-glams? Sure. I'd be estatic if we got diamond and obsidian at least XD
What I really want, is SMN to be either a pet class where we're basically the baton to tell the pet what to do the whole time or a dot class with an npc pet we dont focus on besides the random enkindle/trance ect and join the 1+2+3, 1+2+3, 1+2+3+4 club
