SUMMONER, WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE OR ADD? (EVOLUTION & STAT ALLOCATION)

[Duelle]

One thing that personally bugs me is how stupid pets are. For example, I've seen fairies MPK groups because they automatically toss a heal once a pull is made or hate reset happens. You'll see Garuda run off like a mad-woman if you don't put her on Steady in AK and a Succubus manages to hit her.

I agree with you, but that should be filed under issues with pet AI, and I hope that aside from complaining about the appearance of egi at least some of the posters here are giving feedback to SE on pet AI and the terrible UI we're mired with.

To be fair, they didn't really explain Carbuncle very well at all. I was super surprised by that. I might go back through the cutscenes and refresh my memory to see if there is a better explanation than I can remember.

From what I recall, Carbuncle is the manifestation of your strategems as an arcanist. If you wanted to put it in modern terms, he'd be really close to a computer program you created yourself (following a guideline set by the arcanist's guild). The main thing to keep in mind is that carby has a sort of guideline for it (hence why it has a clear shape and is used en-masse by everyone who picks a grimoire). Instead of 1's and 0's your construct if made through a combination of geometric patterns drawn by you on your grimoire and aether.
