totaly agree with this
both versions of smn have good points but also obvious bad points that both sides overlook or say its its a good thing about the class.
- old smn was the clunkyness of everything( i prefer the cunkyness cause it make the class fun)
- current smn class does not fit caster mold (lack of hard casts) and ridged rotation(that also does not fit the caster mold)

i totaly agree with you that wanting summons to have purpose which i would feel like the best option would be another rework. 1 summon per full loop then its locked out till ya use all 3.
- summon 1 > bahamut > phoenix > summon 2 bahamut > phoenix > summon 3 > bahamut > phoenix

this would get rid of the gem spam and also made it so you are not using just 1 summon like old smn. and make summon choice that more important per fight.
