When a player gets poisoned, you will lose about 5-10% of your HP before poison wears off.
When a pet gets poisoned (SCH, SMN summons etc), pet will lose at least 75% HP if not outright die.
This mechanic is not new, it's been around since 2.0, but since you're taking time to review/adjust job performance, I thought I would point this out so you can do something about this disparity.
Yeah, it's called using Sustain on your pet the second they get it. There, you've solved the problem. The issue isn't with the poison, it's with the player.
Sustain heals for piss and when it's Titan-Egi that gets poisoned while solo it makes it rougher.
HW mobs still hit him pretty hard. Yeah he's got a lot of HP but his mitigation kinda blows.
As far as status effects on my MCH turrets, I just throw another one out to reset it's HP and status effects. Short Recast time + No resources needed send them out = no consequence to playing bean bag toss with them.
Yeah, Sustain doesn't cut it for SMN.
It works for SCH because their pet will heal itself, but most of the time, if a DoT is potent enough it will outright kill a SMN pet even with constant sustain ticking.
This wouldn't be much a problem if pets didn't cost an arm and a leg. The arm being a lot of MP, and the leg being swiftcast.
