    Only thing I would like to see changed is I frit being more useful and Garuda having more worthwhile abilities besides contagion (maybe buff her AoE slightly)
    It's not a question of it being not broken, it's just... Well for being a summoner it has not a whole lot to do with the summoning aspect of the job and more of what a red mage from XI did: Debuff and dot. You can take a look around and see that most other games that brand a class as "Summoner" have a lot more going on that's focused around summoning and summons than we do here. Kind of a poor choice of name for the job really. Sure, cool I have a pet running around with me that I summoned all of once when I job changed, and even then the pet is not my number 1 priority; my dots and other spells are. The summons end up just being mere fluff to make my already pretty awesome abilities a bit better but not adding much else besides their own mindless punching of whatever mob I'm fighting. There's little to no reason to use any besides Garuda, and absolutely no reason to swap them around on the fly ever. The egi's need something that makes them stand really apart from the summoner, some oomph to their repertoire.

    I actually like some of your egi stuff (minus getting rid of Garuda's Contagion) but there are some problems:
    1. All of your Enkindles rely on them implementing an Elemental Resistance system, which I don't think will happen.
    2. No more Topaz to tank for ACN while they solo is kind of bad.
    3. Carbuncle wouldn't add anything to SMN. Carbuncle is designed to be weaker because it's for ACN, a class, versus the Egi who were designed for SMN, a job. While your version makes him very similar to XI's, having to switch from supporting and healing with Carbuncle to an actual DPS Egi like Ifrit or Garuda would be deteramental, especially during dodge intensive fights.
    4. Titan being a Melee is bad. He is encroaching on Ifrit's turf and SMN now looses their soloing tank.
    5. The levels your egis/Carbuncle learn skills would make them useless in situations where the SMN is level 30 or under. In your reworking, Carbuncle is the only usable one and it would only have auto-attack and Poison Bite.
