When 3.0 came out I was dreaming (not hoping, lol) of a different summoner that was immobile with long, complicated summons/casts (think longer mudras) while simultaneously having Carbuncle out acting as an carby-adlo shield machine ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCd2SKQFtfM )that you had to activate with precision a la Exdeath in Dissidia. By nullifying incoming damage with Carby's shield and preventing interrupts, you could extend the summoning for a greater effect (by creating a larger summoning circle at your feet, but they gave that to BLM), from an egi, to a primal attack, to a full primal. They would disappear after a duration, but successful summoning would have you summoning the next while the other is out to keep something on the field. This would be too hard to play for most people, but a good summoner who knew fights could do a lot of damage by chaining primals, bad summoners wouldn't be able to do that, and they would have a visual indicator that they weren't successful. It would have been so cool.

Hey there,

while browsing for another primal-concerned topic (egi-glam) i came across this statement about future SMN wishes by the lodestone communtiy: "There should be a team summoner option where there are 4 summoners in party you can summon an actual primal to fight for a short while. the real summons!" – what do u think? after focusing on channeling bahamuts power in the HW skills, how can SE evolve the egi-part of the summoner cls at all?

personally i think this would be a great feature for 8 grp-partyplay: the ability to fuse all summoned egis of the same kind out in the field at the same time - 2 ifrit fuse to one bigger one, 3 even bigger, 4 max size > followed by an original primal enrage/enkindle skill which hits hard > splitting them all back to their normal form... nevermind, i hope they'll focus more on the egi-part than on dots or burst dmg skills in the future updates, in a any damn way...

just dreaming here xD

Ifrit needs a gap closer akin to MNK shoulder tackle.
Titan needs a provoke skill so he can serve an emergency tank role in parties.

A defensive skill that transfers damage to our pet would be useful.

And the pet glamour system, of course.

Oddly enough the move I want for SMN is the exact move I most hate with SCH, and that's Dissipation. Give me an ability that sacrifices my minion for +20% damage for 30 seconds and a full refill of aetherize stacks.

I absolutely hate this on the my SCH but as a SMN that would be incredibly powerful to stack that kind of boost in Trance (hence why it's a pipe dream).

I want a class that's an actual pet class first and foremost.

When I first saw summoner I was extremely excited, since iconically in the series, they summon cool things to kick arse, putting out huge numbers, but it's a dot class. Somewhat disappointing for me.

I doubt that'll happen, and I'll just have to wait for another class to be very pet DPS centric. Still, would have been nice.

3) ALSO i wish i can just smn Carbuncle whenever i want instead of taking off my smn soul crystal
4) i mean they shall fix this n put all summons in 1 icon, it then branch to w/e summon you wish to summon instead of each one having their own icon (summon , II n III) just one action that make you chose whatever summon to call it would be even useful when they add new summons and yes WHEN @_@ cause they must do

all of this should be ingame since day one imo... agree with every point made here :3
