    The whole Egi situation has become silly and redudant since we have been using the same one out of three for years.
    Titan-Egi could tank and was nice in solo but now it's totally useless due to the summoner lack of healing capabilities and Demi-Bahamuth sending it away.
    Ifrit-Egi is ok but we are still going to use Garuda-Egi 95% of the times due to superior utility and convenience.

    If I may suggest something at this point I would just scrap Summon II and III and make Summon an ability which calls out an egi with generic abilities, mostly based around Garuda-Egi.
    Ifrit, Titan, Carbuncles, Ramuh, Sephirot etc can just become egi glamour skins unlocked with their respective quests with SE adding more over time.

    The result would be everyone getting to use their favourite Egi all the time and the class as a whole being more elegant and functioning better without redundant abilities: Summon II, Summon III and Phisick could get turned into Sustain, passive pet healing trait and anything else really to fill the missing ability slots as result.
    Scholars, being linked to the arcanist frame, would instead get to keep Phisick and obtain a Fairy form change ability of sort to recoup the loss of Summon II.
    Something like:
    At level 4 SMN gets Sustain - SCH gets Phisick
    At level 15 SMN gets a passive pet healing trait - SCH gets a Fairy form change ability
    At level 30 SMN gets something else instead of Summon III (maybe something to help with Aetherflow stacks lost after a death or mistake)?

    These are just raw ideas and I bet the devs could do even better however the SMN job, while not being terrible, still has some bad design choices which need some ironing.
    Stormblood would have been the perfect time but alas here we are, I only hope we wont have to wait years for these fixes.
