Then again, most summoners don't have ok gear as is and can't keep their avatars out for more than 3 minutes outside of Abyssea anyway.

Inside Abyssea, without the great -11 or greater (in this case, lower) avatar perp gear, summoners couldn't use this ability and maintain their current damage.

But if they could, Predator Claws would outshine Heavenly Strike again, or at least be comparable in damage with the right atmas.
I Did try to make it pretty clear that i wasn't meaning for the ideas Buffs/Debuffs to be literal. I was only elaborating on the general idea of my. . . Idea o.o;

That being, "Draws more power from Summoner to Boost Avatar", The opposite of Avatar's Favor. a Buff to Avatar gained from further strain on SMN. Wasn't exactly suggesting the above, Only a giving people an idea of what i meant.
I'm not saying your idea was bad. I'm just pointing out the real reason why people wouldn't use it.

I don't use Avatar's Favor at all, because not of the -2/-3 perp or the buffs it provides, but because it weakens my avatars too much to do what it is there to do, which is to deal hate-free damage without consequence but to laugh at the tank for not keeping hate until my avatar dies. Or if needed, to desummon and resummon to give more hate-free damage.

Only real time I ever used Avatar's Favor was to solo some NMs with the die/summon/die strategy, otherwise known as "Carby Kiting."

And hi Karbuncle. Nice to talk to you again.
