Wouldn't it have been better to replace our dot spells with egi based ones where we command them to do it for us through our regular hot bar, thus giving us more incentive to pay attention to our egi, along with keeping sustain in the game?

That and replacing/adding other skills where we could summon a split second egi to perform a single or mulitple set of skills like many people have suggested before. Wouldn't that have made summoner feel more like what it's name implies?

I've only started getting into summoner today, so I still don't know all the details of what exactly is wrong with the class besides dimished power and missing sustain, so please don't bite my head off if my question/example is missing something or no good.
