It doesn't make them any better than THM/BLM or ARC/BRD. The summoner himself will still need to dodge whatever ranged abilities need to be dodged, but also won't have to worry about making the pet dodge things.

But again, you don't know how this is going to work. We have no pets right now to base anything off of.

Earth was a tank, water was a healer dd, fire was casting dd, air was an evasion aoe dd.
Can you name some of these games? Because you could control your pets in FFXI, WOW, RIFT, Aion.

Some games that their pets were actually better tanks themselves cause the could self heal faster than a cleric healing. Inn 11 was the 1st one that changes it up only slightly they still acted like all the other pets in every other game but instead of pets just auto doing the attack they had buffs and attack that you had to pick. and the biggest difference was the perpetual cost. When summoner first came out in the RoZ its was basically only a whm. so many parties i joined said heal only no pets youll run out of mp to quick. i was furious. Or they let you summon just to buff with stoneskin or hastega.

I have played enough pet jobs in my life and played this game long enough to guesstimate how Smn might work. There isnt much SE can really do to make Smn unique from any other pet job ever. Unless if they make it that you become the summon or somthing.
Here you go again with "guesstimate" and "might". You don't know s**t. Every MMO has a different pet style. You have no arguments here. Go home.
