Summoning Magic Gear

[Babekeke]

Personally, I was not against reducing the duration to 60 seconds. But making 60 seconds require an unachieveable (or even barely achieveable) amount of summon magic was too far. Why they couldn't just make it a flat 60 seconds is beyond me.

They didn't make it a flat 60 seconds, as otherwise all the smn mules that everyone took to do ADL would never even have to buy/earn a single spirit/avatar since 0 skill would give them 60 sec. I'd have settled for 500 skill cap for 60 sec though as then a SMN would at least need to skill up/buy gear to hit cap.

uh, so what? they're already reducing the max duration by 30 seconds. It's still modified by remaining MP. It shouldn't be based on summon skill at all.
