Smn Rework Suggestions After LL

[Myon88]

The main thing for me that I’ve always hated on SMN is that the focus is on the caster and not the pet.

For years there have been complaints about summoner feeling janky to play because pet-sourced attacks are subject to lag and the whims of pet AI in this game. It has continued to be a frustrating issue in Shadowbringers too.

Progressively moving spells to the summoner has been a conscious measure to sidestep that problem, so I think it's unlikely you'll get your wish of a stronger pet focus.

I can relate to that approach causing a disconnect between the gameplay and fantasy of the job though. They've gutted demi-summon interaction even further by making them work like the DRK and MCH pets which autoattack by themselves, and I'm not particularly pleased with that change.
