Actually, the king of summoners would be a Conjurer . . . or more accurately, a Cleric/Mage. My own ideas for making the Beastmaster more playable involve things like granting them access to spells up to Level 6, they sholdn't have to depend on items (that would only be abused by Thieves & Bards anyway).
But yes, upgrades to the various summoning items would be quite good--so long as their power level is appropriate to the stage of the game in which you can make them. Weimer's Improved Kitthix is a sad joke, given that you can quite easily get it on Day 2 of the game, and practically for free.
