Oh ok, but SAM getting Buffs for virtually no downside (recast time lengthened, !wow! SAM doesnt even have natural spells to begin with!!) is ok?

This Suggestion is JUST to complement the more defensive stance of Avatar's Favor. This being said, i also think Avatar's Favor needs to be adjusted, so it's easier to use for defensive/supportive uses, I'm just not sure what changes exactly would be justified/. You know, SMN does not even HAVE the chance to deal fast dmg. If you'd play SMN regularly you'd know that this is just a request to give SMN an incentive to use Avatars as a source of dmg outside of those rare situations where people prefer hateless damage but slower progression.

It's already ridiculous how fast melees even outside of Abyssea can WS back to back, while SMN has to wait like 45 seconds to do Damage which isn't that much higher than 1 Melee WS. The only thing i'm requesting with this suggestion is to narrow the gap between the distinct Damage Dealers and the allround-talent Summoner. I'm not even asking to get it on par with "real" DDs only to let us play SMN the way we want: defensive/supportive or offensive. Oh yeah and i was never thinking of Abyssea when thinking this ability up, thanks.
