On paper the old Summoners seemed pretty awesome, but 'at the table' they only panned out as 'respectable'.

A lot of stuff looks good on paper, but so does a burger and fries.

That depends entirely on the build. I mean, if you want to, you can make a reasonably mediocre one, but you could also make them be very effective (although that is true for a lot of high-powered builds).

I "retired" my gnome summoner at level 6 after being forced to rebuild from synthesist and playing once with an actual Eidelon. A level 5 character's 4HD critter shouldn't be able to solo a Chaos Beast.

Or me!!!
