Sustain on SMN

[Saggo]

Most cases of pet mortality can be linked directly back to poor management on the part of the owner; it's really hard to get a summon killed if you're paying attention to placement.

AoE heals are almost always sufficient to keep pets alive under normal circumstances. A lot of the resistance to the idea of healing pets is likely stemming from the significant resentment many healers already feel over being relied upon to save others from the consequences of their own horrible gameplay.

Fortunately, no one is arguing its our responsibility to carry bad players. Just like it's the responsibility of a melee DPS to avoid mechanics as able, a pet owner should maintain their pet, but that reason does not justify saying in regard to pets a healer has zero responsibility in any capacity.

As a caveat, there is no placing Ifrit to avoid mechanics, every boss has mechanics.

Yeah, I'm not going to single target heal your pet.

You can obviously do whatever you want, but let's not pretend that excuses taking no action.

And,

Everything that could kill them is avoidable with proper placement.

Shit happens. To everyone.
