Read the whole first page of posts.. Didn't read the second, so what I'm going to offer could very well already have been said. But, still, it's another one for whatever camp that is.
I understand both sides.. Keep them small,it's less clutter and yada yada. Make them bigger, it's more fitting for what they're supposed to represent, yada yada.
From where I stand - I'm a DPS in every MMO. Usually melee, at that.. Enhance Shaman in WoW, Sentinel in ToR, whatever the staff-wielding class was in Tabula Rasa, etc. I like being in the nitty gritty. With that in mind, I don't know how many times I've had trouble clicking on a mob because my camera was at the wrong angle, and peoples pets were all over the place - Pets being things akin to hunter pets, warlock pets, frostmage pets, Shaman totem pets and wolves, etc. It can get real hairy, real fast up in the melee. I can imagine, as a tank, they likely wish -everyone- ws smaller, just so they can click their stuff easier (That's an exaggeration, but you get the idea.)
I understand that there probably won't be more than 4 summoners, at most, in the largest of raids here, and the 'desired' size of the Egi's is to make them about the size of a normal race.. That's te issue. Say we're in an 8 man raid, and there're two or three summoners.. Those summoners are bringing in 3 more full-sized characters. That's three more full sized characters on the screen, in a battle with mechanics designed for 8.. I see the need to keep them on the smaller side to minimalize the impact. It's a small change if they're bigger, and it's a small change if they're the smaller style.
