Customary "When are summoners getting new summons" thread

[Lambdafish]

Literally, anything but a damage-on-hit-taken ally-applicable shield, a stun, a knockback, a self-AoE, a target-AoE, an enmity-enhanced-AoE, or self-mitigation for Summoner; or a AoE HoT, an AoE +%healing received buff, an AoE cleanse, or an AoE 3% attack speed buff at half-uptime for Scholar. That's a lot of options.

The devs explained their philosophy at the start of 3.0 in that they want to move away from creating a mass pet job and instead focus on giving the skills to the SMN itself (hence bahamut being a "trance" not a pet), this being more balanced, less of a strain on resources, and overall would produce a more interesting job (i.e. the alternative is you get one new pet and no new skills). The egi glamour is to make up with their change of heart when it comes to pets.

On an unrelated subject, can we not have more pets and instead balance the ones we already have? There is very little reason to use anything but Garuda because contagion2strongplznerf (or don't but at least make the other pets more viable)
