Reasons why SMN is frustrating and difficult.

If they ever rebuild Summoner, I'd rather not have it be a pet job and instead work around the Demi summoning.

Whether it is a DoT mage, pet warlock or traditional SE Summoner I really don't care what the job becomes at this point. I just wish SE would decide what flavor a Summoner should be and work on a cohesive design to fulfill that requirement.

I'd just like to know how it is that we can summon Bahamut and literally see him appear, and still have our egi die and Bahamut die with him. It's like, I've summoned him. He's there up on the screen. How is it that my pet isn't invulnerable or something until it disappears? And I don't think it's too much to ask that we get the full value of our two trances.

Why does the pet have to be up to summon Bahamut at all? It makes sense the pet might go away during Bahamut but everything else is independent in the way you build up to the summon so the summon itself should be as well.
