    Why? you're already arguably the most mobile caster, being able to rapidly attack while on the move. BLM has the whole teleport to party member to minimize time between movement and casts as its a dedicated turret , RDM whole identity is around jumping between long range and close range. Its not like you're going to have a strict range they have to be at like Melee or tanks

    The game always allow you a lot of time to position yourself. Given that SMN's GCDs are mostly instant I think they are fine now.

    Summoner doesn't just have instant GCDs (whilst in Dreadwyrm Trance, when Ruin IV procs or willing to take a 20 Potency per Cast loss), most of their damage isn't even ON the GCD. A third of their damage is their own kit (which also includes oGCDs like Fester and Deathflare), a third is DoTs (including Ruination, which could be seen as a psuedo-DoT since it's 20potency added onto your Ruin spells, which you should be casting) and the final third is the pet itself (Whether that be Bahamut or the Egi).

    To say that Summoner lacks mobility would be like saying Warrior needs a buff (in 4.2/4.3)

    Don't really see a need for it. In fact, I'd prioritize pet glamours over this, tbh lol

    Even bards have repelling shot. I think it would be fine if summoner would get one in the next expansion. Actually wanted some kind of movement skill since 2.0. I think it would be cool if egi and smn would change places.

    No. Smn is almost as mobile as brd, while also having access to surecast. They don't need anything else for mobility.

    Also they have too many buttons already imo lol.
