Avatar Behavior Issues and Requests

How about Lowering the capp of Blood rage timer to 30 sec (at least) ??

As for pact DMG it's well below what imo it should be
@75 it was equal to a good WS from a heavy DD or heavy nuke.
@99 it's equal to 30%-50% from a heavy DD/heavy nuke.

Kinda bored how SE gave use alot of useless buffs and increased our DMG marginally either way i do miss playing SMN back at lvl 75 and i just wish it would be relative to what it was back then.

Here's one I have on occasion. If I use Assault and my pet is not where it is supposed to be due to poor pathing then my Assault timer is reset and my command has no effect. Why can't I simply get an error message instead? The Assault recast time isn't lengthy, but sometimes every second counts.

Also, why is the pathing so poor for Avatars and other pets? Why do they see a slight bump in the terrain that doesn't impede progress at all as an obstacle to path around? It's not as though this sort of non-static terrain was added after pets were implemented. They should have been coded with it in mind should they not?

Pets follow the same pathfinding nodes the mobs do, it's just the way the server was programmed.

They should at least fix Assault being wasted when the Avatar is out of range if they can't correct pathing. Just have it say <Pet> is out of range.

The recast timer is activated when an enemy dies right before a Blood Pact is executed
We will look into whether we can make it so the recast timer does not activate similar to how it would when a target moves out of range after executing a Blood Pact.

Do the same for Restoring Breath and Smiting Breath too PLEASE!

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

While it's really, really nice to see that Summoner's myriad of bugs is being looked into (actually quite excited about that), this list barely scratches the surfaces of the issues that Summoners have. A list of some (some!) of these issues is here:

I'm sure other pet jobs would appreciate these things being fixed as well!

This is of course super super low on the nice-to-have wish list, but any chance we'll ever see Avatar emotes? At least for Cait Sith? I realize many of the avatars may not have emote animations programmed, but I'm sure Cait Sith has a myriad that could be used from cut-sceens.

Hey everyone!

We’ve received a couple reports of issues and requests about avatar behavior and I would like to pass on some comments regarding this.

• The recast timer is activated when an enemy dies right before a Blood Pact is executed

While you're at it, this happens for BST too.

Automaton spells and Wyvern breaths as well, I think.
