The Egi Conundrum: Heavensward and Beyond!

[Koyuki38]

SMN really has hundreds of possibilities to focus on pets and less dots

(this list is just few examples)
- give pets a buff for few time after summoning it or (like previous post) make it stronger and stronger over time and give it a finishing move before sumoning another.
- give smn a spell to change pet (with previous buff). this needs instant cast, very short animation, low mana cost, etc.
- give all pets their own CD
- give pet a bonus on each sumon equal to the ruin we are not casting when summoning.
- give them all same DPS but different utilities.
- create a special summoning spells which do something on hit, like a fire AOE which result in sumoning ifrit.
- give 3 aether stacks when summoning. The more stack we have, the stronger is the pet. Then when we have 0 stack left (cause of fester) change pet to get 3 other stack, 60 sec cd.

Another example of switching mecanic :
Open with Ifrit -> use Enkidle (ifrit hit with a dot) -> switch to Garuda -> use Dot Extend time on B,B2,M,M2,Enkidle

I tried this a day, it's possible to do with swift cast but it doesn't extend the Ifrit's dot from Enkidle.
Since Ruin and Summoning Garuda use both a GCD, it's worth because +15 sec from Enkidle dot is better than a Ruin.
