Thunder removal... Fine. I still hate it.

Pets still near goddamn useless. Running about 40-60 dps or something. I dunno. Contagion the only useful skill; synergy between SMN and pet. Titan good for solo. Ifrit for PvP somewhat; too slow on response times.

SMN back in FFXI was great. Even though there was a ton of stuff to manage at first, I felt I was a Summoner calling upon a legendary whatever. Here, it's... just... some sort of decoration that sometimes annoys the enemy if they get annoyed at all.

They may as well remake this class and change it from Summoner to a class that specializes in DoTs. A Summoner trying to manage DoTs instead of the beast they summon? Logic.
