I'm kind of inclined to agree with this one.

Summoners have become a Pet Class with no real pet.

Basically what it boils down to is that while we micromanage the pet now it really has so little damage impact that it doesnt feel as if we summoned an aspect of Fire Earth or Wind it feels as if we made a little useless creature that does hardly anything. The whole idea behind being a pet class is that your pet does at least 1/2 of your overall damage is not a full 3/4s of it instead they've become an auto attack feature that comes in three varieties do you want you auto attack to hit a bunch of things a single thing or do you want to survive being curbstomped for like 4 seconds while you run around casting like a wannabe Black Mage. The really sad part is I was absolutely stoked that we would finally be able to micromanage the pet but in so doing it became little more than a graphic wet noodle. And while I feel this can be rectified It also feels as if the damage may be done.
