The problem with Summoners

[Sequora]

So it really makes no sense where all these current abilities (Bio, Miasma) fall in place in terms of lore. It would make more sense to give the Summoner a series of elemental abilities that are dictated by which Egi is in play at any given time. So the Summoner essentially draws their personal abilities from the Egi in play. So if Ifrit is in play the Summoner would gain Fire based abilities, Titan earth based abilities, and Garuda wind based abilities. They could still be D.O.T based attacks of course just with that elemental overlay in order to give the Egi more of a focus and for the lore of the job to match up with the actual game play.

I've been saying this since ARR was released lol. I don't think the devs really care enough to change it though.
