What’s the point of Physick for Summoner?

[MellowMink]

Hows about Square Enix just go all the way for the summoner route (as far as phsyik goes) Since they have reworked summoner to be more like its traditional style in past games (summon the monster, let it carpetbomb the area and then immedialy leave)

Just remove Physick, and then add "Summon Moogle King" Simularly to the other summons, moogle will be summoned, appear, use a aoe pom-cure or something, and then dissapear. The summoner gains 3 stacks of "mog-attunement" to use on 3 abilities.
Gemshine turns to Pom-cure 2 (a single target heal)
Preshoius brilliance turns to Moogle-go-round (a small aoe crit buff)
Astral Flow turns to Momento Moogle (an aoe damaging attack)

i may put this idea into more thought and detail later, but I feel like this type of approach will only add to the fun, identity and versatility of the class

This would be a more complex fix for the developers than simply changing the spell to be based off a different stat or having a much higher potency, possibly via a newly added trait… but I do really like the design idea you fleshed out; that sounds like a lot of fun!

Watch people coming for this idea with "This is trash because it doesn't fit into my high-end raid play".

I'm on the team that loves niche abilities. Is Vercure niche? It surely is, but I have been able to save 4-man wipes with it. Is Clemency niche? Pretty much, but the satisfaction of being able to finish the last 4% of a fight when just you and the other tank lives is pretty good.

On top of that, 24-man raids often require a lot of niche action usage on release when the pug is dying left and right.
