    The problem you identified correctly is that someone could get used to a dead-end strategy that simply does not work when in "fast mode", no matter how quickly it is executed, e.g. I, as a summoner, would do my standard Bio2+Miasma+Bio+Bane/Fester-thing while in "fast mode", there would be no chance to pull that off (e.g. adds that simply have to die quicker than that). I agree that, as far as the attack patterns are concerned, these risks exist.

    In T5, however, there are two things that a summoner has to do correctly:
    - Placing his pet at the correct position
    - Knowing Twintanias attacks and the correct reaction (running and placement)

    These are the things I can (again: personally) learn better in slow-motion.
