4) I really don't mind the focus on DoTs as opposed to pets but our traits should probably reflect that. I'm assuming this is because ACN branches off into a healing class as well but there are no traits that specifically enhance any of the DoT abilities, only general damage increases from Enhanced Intelligence and Maim & Mend.

5) There really needs to be a greater difference between Carbuncles and Egis. Not necessarily in terms of greater damage but they should have skills that are different than those used by the Carbuncles in more than just name. Since summoner is meant to be a DoT class, Garuda and Ifrit at least should probably have a DoT/debuff of their own. Also, Enkindle is pretty lackluster for how long the cooldown is.

6) We either need a separate skill that removes debuffs from pets and have Sustain/Rouse do it. As it stands now, when fighting a boss that relies heavily on debuffs, Summoner pets basically become useless (Aurum Vale bosses come to mind).
