The silent majority don't come on to forums to bitch about a job on a game. If they did I'm sure they'd say something along the lines that "Summoner" works as a DPS, but it certainly does not give off the proper look (Pet Wise) or feel of traditional FF Summoner's. I personally would like to see more focus on pet damage and Summoner overall utility because currently Scholar has what we have and more.

I know this isn't FF11, but its iteration of summoner (when I played the level cap was 75) to me seemed more satisfying to play. While the pets auto attack damage left something to be desired they had plenty of utility ranging from AoE buffs/healing, debuffs and burst damage all stemming from the Blood Pacts. They could tie something akin to this with the Aetherflow Mechanic some way or another. If they could travel down this direction with the job it may prove to be more pleasing to those looking for a more traditional feel at least gameplay wise.
