Usually im not the one which opens such Threads in particular if there are many of them already but i talked with a good friend and realized something really important.
Summoner lost the meaning to actually play the Job, there is besides the "i like summoner" point no reason to play this Class anymore.
Ress - Yes Summoner has a Ress but in a Prog Sitatuation RDM has just way more value
Damage - Compared to ShB the current Summoner is completly lacking on Damage, i mean im generally not the Fan of the whole "Range, Ress Tax" Philosophy but we are at a Point where the Damage matters.
Movement - You could argument that Summoner has free movement, but lets be real for a Second here and judge the Situation and the different Casters,
RDM can Move after every second Skill
Picto has Smudge and the ability to move huge distances after every Cast (Yea People say Picto has the less mobility but the Recast/Cast Time allows some huge Distance between each Casts) and can easly use Swift since its not needed for a Ress
Blm has Swift, Triplecast, Xenoglossy, Paradox, Fire 3, Despair, Thunder and can with the recent Changes really good slidecasting, BLM changed from standing turret to walking turret
So what has Summoner left? Nothing, through the "Egis" even many of his Skills have Pet Potency which means less Potency then actually standing on the description
There is really no reason anymore to bring a Summoner in your Group and thats something which is insane sad to see, because ShB Summoner was such a huge Powerhouse.
So please Square maybe its really time to consider removing the "Ress Tax" or giving Summoner a new Identity because in his current state he lacks everything.
