Here is something I had an idea about the other day while running WP, it has been stated here correctly changes to DPS whether it be Enkindle or other moves would over power us we already do very serious DPS just look at the numbers. However what if they gave us an ability with say a one minute cool down that would similar to swift cast, but instead of casting a spell it would let you swap one Summon for another instantly, this would have no effect what so ever on DPS. Maybe they could then tweek both Garuda and Ifrit or at very least Ifrit to have more standard DPS or whatever and then we could Swap out our summons as the situation demanded it. Example, DPS with Garuda when suddenly tank goes down use swap ability to Titan bam Sic on target PT saved. Ideas on this? I think it would be amazing and useful.

This is doable with a swiftcast > summon macro, but obviously completely destroys your mana bar.

My thoughts on this are, yes it is a good idea, if only our pets were more differentiated. After all, in WoW, aff locks can burn a shadow crystal (i forgot their actual name, soul shard?) to instares a pet.

Demo has a passive that lets them insta res a pet every minute or two.

Destro is kinda boned but they get chaos bolt (which is the coolest spell ever in any game).

EDIT: oh hey! I had another idea. Have Surecast renamed, and make it instead make the next cast mana free.

It'll make it super awesome for sure > swift > res combos, and great for BLM too because they can sneak in an extra flare.

Please don't do this; I like surecast on my healer.
