[3.5] The Bonded Summoner?

[Pharaoh's Fist]

I guess I should've expected this for insinuating that anything other than Wizard 20 could possibly be potent on this forum.

You didn't insinuate anything, you just asked a question if losing 5 caster levels was worth getting the Elemental abilities, and the answer is no. What are you complaining about?
