For 2 tell me what do you feel is Summoner's biggest weaknesses that an Egi could improve upon.

Serious question.
I'll keep this brief since I'm probably approaching my post limit. (Curse you 2.0 beta forums)

When did I clear? Before the echo. Where summoner was lacking? In my opinion, their ability to burst when it was really needed was somewhat lacking compared to other jobs. Their ability to do area damage beyond four targets also left something to be desired.

How could the Egi improve upon them? This is hard to answer because the developers have already solved those problems without adressing the Egi.

We have a new aoe attack that uses stacks of aetherflow, and another attack that uses stacks of bahamut aether thats no doubtedly going to give us amazing burst damage.

Personally, I would have rather had those new abilities channeled through the Egi to at least give a sense of us interacting with the pet. Use a stack of aetherflow to have Garuda or Ifrit do the aoe attack. Build stacks of "primal aether" (just making up a name) to have the Egi unleash some powerful burst attack.

It's all in the presentation. Some people wanted it presented through the Egi, some people wanted it presented through the summoner himself. Developers chose the latter.

I'm sure nothing I say is going to satisfy you so I'll just leave it at that. But I see you also wanted to see the current egis improved upon unless I misread your posts, so we at least (might) see eye to eye somewhere.

Time for me to head to bed. Good morning / afternoon / night, and pleasure talking with you.
