Summoner is the primary DPS job that I play. I actually really enjoy the combat style, however, the assumption cannot be made that everyone that actively plays as a Summoner believes that what we have is a well-conceived interpretation of the job because I am not one of them. I wholeheartedly agree with the stance that the job feels and plays like a Necromancer more than anything. Swap out the egi with undead and no one would bat an eye.

The only part that makes the job feel like a Summoner, in my opinion, is the Dreadwyrm Trance and Deathflare combo (and even then I feel inclined to say that Ninja's new frog summon abilities does it better). Now I'm not necessarily saying that I agree with the decision to not give more power to egi (here's hope that the Stormblood New Actions video won't have the egi sitting there doing absolutely nothing) however I appreciate that they at least gave us something to try appeasing fans who were dissatisfied with the version of Summoner we had at level 50 which was little more than a poison mage.

I consider it unlikely that we will receive "Reworked Summoner" as a new job down the line which is why I hope that with each increase in level we will see Summoner taking leaps and bounds towards reaching that Summoner experience so many players wish to have.
