Summoner and the upcoming changes

Did the pets atleast get an increase in health or damage resistance, because yeah I can see how the pets dying would be a problem especially ifrit. He was dying repeatedly on mobs in ST when I didn't use sustain, and no healer is going to take priority from actual players.

Sadly not, at least as far as I know.
We will have to wait and see, since currently known details are still subjected to change.
All pet keeping classes in all respectable MMORPG games have a skill to keep their pets alive, is this where final fantasy really wants to be different?

If we raise enough awareness of this issue they may review it with the developers (like the WHM thread), but no one seems to care about such a major skill being erased like its nothing!

The problem with other people's pets is that they don't appear in healer party lists. We see our own pets, and we even see their chocobos when that's an issue, but we never see your Garuda on our list of HP meters.
