No, put in the actual summons, and completely redo the system from scratch. Separate the SCH and SMN classes, and let the SCH keep the original system. Make the Machinist the actual DoT dealer and have the SMN focus on something else entirely.

No. SCH needs to be separated from Arcanist so they can get more healz. SMN just needs full-sized Summons so big they block everyone's view of the battle. >_> Heck, you could still take away all of the dots from ACN/SMN and just have them do attacks through their pet alone (and give pets other abilities on and off the GCD to make up for it).

This I can agree with. As long as neither have DoTs and are put onto a separate class entirely, the Summons are completely obnoxious and badass like they should be, and the carbuncles wiped from existence. Sadly we know that won't happen, the SMN is in need of a major fix, and I just don't see how they could do it without changing the entire job altogether.

Honestly I think it would be pretty cool to actually change to the perspective of the pet after summoning and fight through it as an alternate method for using the SMN class.

Or rework Arcanist to be the RDM we all know we want and take enfeebling duties away from SMN.

Instead of saying summoners have to hit with a spell book between casts give summoners whips and a attack animation that uses mana!!! Want Rydia whip so badly and restricting job swapping. Should be like old FF 11 days only able to swap in your inn room or private room.
