Summoner's Job Evolution

[Akiza]

This actually makes no sense, as your character was supposed to be immune to primal corruption due to "echo" plotholes ftw! also you saying that a summoner is just one person kinda takes away from the Grandeur that has always been known as summoners.
Yuna would turn in her grave.

I think all Summoners from past Final Fantasy games will be turning over in there grave with Final Fantasy XIV version of Summoners if Square wanted to model a Summoner Damage Dealer they should've went with Rydia

I'm a smn from 11 and I liked the job but I felt more like support than a mage. In the past ff games smns were the kings of magic dmg. In 11 I couldn't compete with a blm.
In XIV I do feel that my pet isn't as bad ass as I'd expect but at the same time I don't feel handicapped when it's not alive. In 11 when my pet was down I was literally my sub job (whm). Until the blood pact cooldown wore off I felt dead weight. In XIV I do feel more like a warlock from WoW but at least I don't feel worthless without my pet. I got some pretty good dmg dealing ability's without the pet.
What I was thinking about with the whole egi is too small. What if we had an ability much like astral flow from 11. Something with a long cooldown, I hate to bring up that word because we already have issues with enkindles recast, but for a brief amount of time your pet was super charged and it changes into the actual primal for the duration?

I feel more like a DOT class than a SMN Job, I just wish the focus was more on controlling the Egi with DOTs as a supplement. As it is right now DOTs take priority over using the Egi as the primary force of defeating the lore.
