The problem with Summoners

[Akiza]

The Summoner needs to be split from the Arcanist to make an actual Summoner. The tradition Direct Damage Bursts and AoE Bursts Summoner fits much better in this game then the DoT Arcanists/Summoner since in almost ever encounter it requires DPS to burn enemies down as quickly as possible which the !Summoner! falls short in. The Summoner needs flashier and powerful spells just get rid of the DoT poisoning spells. Give the summons procs and AoE Bursts abilities. The Summoner itself should have an emphasis on summoning and pets with Geomancer spells which fits more within the theme of the Summoner since they are spirit tamers.
