[dev1058] SMN Two-hour abilities

[Luvbunny]

Anything more than one minute is seriously unrealistic. I realize SMN's desire for some love (and it is well-deserved after the years of abuse), but that's just being greedy after already getting a great offer (and possibly the best new 2 hour ability out of the pool).

A minimum of 60-90 seconds is a must - not being greedy at all, but this a 2 hours job you know, not some 20 mnts JA. It should mean something substantial, and actually useful. Between BP rage and ward, and all those slow animations, 90 seconds would be decent. We need something as close as embrava, and no - Perfect Defense - does not count.

As a pet based job - summoner is the lowest on the totem pole. Beast and Pup both beat it easily when it comes to damage output. I mean if SE wants us to be a pet DD job with mp to put checks and balance then they need to tweak the avatar hp and damage. Otherwise they should revise our avatar favor ability. I mean look at scholar where they can be a very good magic damage and also buffer/healer with no disadvantage at being able to switch around as needed. We should be able to switch between pet DD (slightly less than beast) or buffers (quite good as bard or corsair but can only have 1 instead of 2 effects).
