How Would You Do... Summoner?

[Jandor]

Well that one would definitely require a complete ground up rework of the class... and for that matter a complete rework of the pet interface.

Another thing those that don't actually play the job don't know are the kinks in the Pet interface. There is a major delay due to queueing of the pet attacks that creates enormous delays in the response time between the time you issue the pet a command, and they actually obey.

Example: Trying to get Garuda to do Contagion can take upwards of 3-10 seconds at times if he's busy.

I play the job mate, I know the pet interface can be clunky. It should be fixed regardless of what other changes are or are not made to SMN.
"Don't make these changes because a significant part of the job doesn't function properly as it is." What sort of reasoning is that?

Or they could just add a Bahamut-egi animation near our characters when we perform Deathflare to at least give us an illusion that we are summoning it and it's the one performing the attack. You know, like NIN's new frog summon jutsu.

That would be nice, and more than acceptable. This is a 'how would you do it' thread, so I went for what I want rather than what might potentially happen.
