Pets! what works, what doesn't, and how to improve them for 4.0, maybe?

[GMERC]

I don't disagree with a lot of this, and I'm almost completely certain that the reason we only got Carbuncles this early is because we are either receiving significant changes to how Summons work OR they just wanted to wait and spend appropriate time to make fitting animations for each Egi visual.

Also, just as a correction, Bismarck's ultimate is "Breach Blast."

As far as the state of Titan-Egi, I feel that they should probably give up on trying to build a Summon that can tank, and instead shift its role to that of a Summon that supports your real, human tanks with its abilities. An example would be to make Titan's Earthen Ward specifically affect the player with the highest Aggro, effectively channeling a Tank Cooldown onto them. As it stands, Titan is unusable and as long as the focus continues to be "pet that is built to tank" that status won't ever change.
