Summoner revamp

[Neophyte]

Please remember, that SE needs (idk exactly) around 0,5-1 year, just to implement Egi-glamours.

Any complete overhaul of the SMN-job (including something like 20 unique class GCD/oGCDs + changing the overall concept of the Job + change the battle system completely and also some other Jobs (if elemental weaknesses become a thing again) + lore + separation of SCH + PvP/PvE-balance) would waste such a huge ammount of dev resources....

....just to change a well-balanced class, which is fun to play (from a gameplay PoV), into a class, which might be fun to play (if SE does everything right.. haha) just so that SMN fits better your imagined standard of what a SMN should be.

I don't want to pass on every other possible enhancement coming with an add-on, just to fulfill some convoluted dreams of a (in my eyes) minority of players.

They are already wasting dev resources just trying to keep SMN and SCH from tipping each other over the edge and thats a constant endeavour. They have limited themselves in the ways they can balance these two jobs due to them being tied at the hip. ACN/SMN/SCH was a failed experiment as admitted by SE themselves.

On the Egis i would say they are fine as they are appearance wise though i wouldn't complain about upping their size a bit, they were originally even smaller. But they should not be SMN's equivalent of MCH's turret; plonk it down and forget about it. The Summons are one of the most if not the most iconic parts of Final Fantasy and they should be treated with more respect.
