Can't believe i read all that! Christian Chaney said it best "animal companions already exist with the ranger, druid, animal tamer, and beastmaster. I really don't think we need a 5th at this point?" We already have a separate hit point pet owner(who also share action pool through the minion trait).
You can go caster(druid) or martial(ranger).
I did like someone's(?) idea of a pure summoner with spells coming from an archetype and a stronger eidolon but then what will the trained in simple weapons and unarmoured defense character do?
I agree that the 'if either(or both) summoner or eidolon are in range of the fireball you take the worst save of two' rule is pretty dodgy and stacks damage. This fear of heightened damage from multiple vectors made me want a separate hp pool but it also made me fight CLOSE to my eidolon, in TANDEM with her, so i could heal her and support her. It made me fight with my summoned entity as opposed to throwing meatshields, that I couldn't care less about, around corners or into traps.
I love the new eidolon although it needs a few buffs and some proper focus spells and more tandem feats.
Also is the lack of a 1st class feat a typo?
