I'm officially upset with myself for opening another thread in which Akiza and Jediman have been bitching about what Summoning really is, and what they would do which is better than what SE would do. I love my Summoner, I really do. Am I playing optimally? Probably not. But it's a thematic, gorgeously built class that makes me glad I started as an Arcanist, and the lore surrounding Primals and the ties to Allagan summoning just make me squee internall...much like I would outwardly if Nathan Fillion walked up and asked for the time.
