I for one am excited for the new summoner changes. While new egis would have been marginally neat, the way Egi's work in general though would have made them largely superficial since we already have 3 basic roles, Tank, Ranged Dps, and Melee Dps.

We're not a healer class so we don't need a healing pet and anything else added would just be a copy of what we already have with slightly new gimmicks that probably wouldn't be as good as Contagion.

Now.. combining with Bahamut..... oh yes... my body is ready.
