July 2016 Battle Adjustment to Pet Commands for BST SMN PUP - Clarification please!

Matsui mentioned an update to pet commands coming with this update.

I have to admit, I'm concerned.... the last BST nerf-update ruined my decade's worth of playstyle on BST..

So SE, in all seriousness, what exactly are you doing to pet commands?!

I believe they had posted previously that they are adjusting the cooldowns for Assult, Retreat, Heel, etc to 5 seconds instead of 10 seconds.

I admit, I chuckled at that comment. Well played!

But seriously though, I too would like a little bit of clarification, as it is worded in a way that is extremely vague.

x(-.-)x Dear RNGesus,

Please don't nerf my BST SMN and PUP.




(just in case)

LOL.... I might be willing to pay $2/mo if they restore my nerfed BST range tho..

update note says for summoner:
The recast times of the following pet commands will now decrease in line with the level of the pet command Avatar’s Favor.

Blood Pact: Rage / Blood Pact: Ward

Can't wait to start testing this

some extremely cursory testing on myself took me from a 36 second bp timer down to 30 second. no job points on my smn, and my gear only brings me down to 36. so yea, its awesome

Glad you are enjoying this adjustment!

We implemented this to boost the usability of blood pacts, and to give you some specifics, it will reduce your blood pact recast timer by a maximum of 10 seconds depending on the level of Avatar’s Favor.

Thanks for this, been enjoying SMN lately and this is definitely welcomed!

This update to SMN is amazing and I'm sure I speak for all SMN in saying we love it and are very happy!

I do have one question in regards to its usage though my SMN friends and I have been unable to reach the -10 seconds off and only get -8. It has been tried with up to 636 Summoning Magic skill and +3 favor from the horn and +1 from gifts and -8 seconds is still the best reduction we can achieve even after leaving it out a very long time. I just wondered if you could inform us or at least hint to us on how to achieve the remaining 2 seconds of recast reduction, thank you!

Probably 900 summoning skill.

After reading that is was thinking the same thing. Alas, another time summoner is forced to get stats that are unattainable at our current state to use the most of our abilities while other jobs get full force from the start.

With 512 Summoning Magic Skill, Beckoner's Horn +1 and the Favor gift you can obtain the -8 second recast which isn't too in the weeds to obtain or a ton of work imo, my question was is there a way to obtain the full -10 second recast, I'm very happy with this update and the 9 BP damage from new gear in our sets the past two updates it's a huge difference. Also hoping for more ward adjustments in the future but am happy, thank you SE!

Was there any particular reason that BST's "Heel" was excluded from the update?
