Summoner and the upcoming changes

[Len]

Aetherpact - Devotion really is the disappointment I thought it would be.

Nevermind the fact that it's effect is pathetic and it's applied to a random party member. The delay it has is similar to Enkindle where you pet will either turn or move toward the party member and then cast the ability.

It feels like the dev. team wanted us to have another ability our pet could use to possibly proc Further Ruin and just sloppily came up with Aetherpact. I hope they revisit this.

I was more hoping for the aoe multi party member buff version everyone thought it would be or a personal buff. Random party member is such bad design because you can't control who gets it.

Hey I'm new to this forum, I don't even know where to post really.
But this is about summoner so..

Devotion..
It should be the whole party, not just a single member.
It's stupid having it cast on the nearest.
What you guys think?

Okay I just seen other posts before mine saying the same thing. Aha.
Please change devotion YoshiP!

Things I like (still at 60 due to the issues with MSQ and my lack of desire to FATE grind):

-Aethertrail (I think it's called) stacks don't have that timer they used to have, it seems. I won't have to worry as much about running out of time before the next pull. And with my rotation now, I feel like I'm waiting less for Aetherflow to cooldown, which is anecdotal sure, but reassuring.
-The new cooldowns on Fester and Painflare are great, and I don't feel like I'm losing damage waiting for the next one anymore.

Things I don't like:

-My AOE feels like it's been gutted to a large extent with the Bane nerf. For a move you get to much earlier than Painflare etc, it really was the backbone of my AOE for a long time. Now it's just... There.
-No Sustain, and Physick is a crap heal for my pet. As someone who solos far more than group plays, this worries me, as I am no tank.

So yeah, basically the same complaints as everyone else, it seems.

So I'm 64 now and some things I noticed. You can really feel that you don't have Sustain any more. When running FATEs I just used Garuda and had Chocobo heal me since I was tanking. Titan Egi is very limited now in use to the point he can't even survive the class quest. We really really need Sustain back SE.

Ruin Mastery seems to proc often enough

Devotion doesn't effect you, just the one random party member lucky enough to be near the Egi so yea, I feel it needs a change to something like all members in 15 yalm radius.

I had Titan-egi die a few times... Like, three. That was imediatly followed by me using swiftcast->Summon. I summoned Titan-egi if the monster I was attacking is dead, or Garuda/Ifrit if it wasn't to help me finish it.
So, literally no problem whatsoever with the removal of Sustain.

You guys have to understand that it's not because Titan-egi isn't immortal anymore that you can't use it. It's a HP buffer which act as a tempoary shield before the enemy starts attacking you. And it's completly fine that way.
Besides, swapping Egi is a thing now. Better start now.

That's all well and good, but Titan doesn't have Provoke. So do you kite the mobs in hopes that he'll grab aggro back? That sounds less than enjoyable.

Thats great unless it's something like a FATE boss, then once Titan dies and the boss still has 50% hp, you're tanking him. This now leave the bigger question, what's the point of Titan-Egi and what was the point of removing Sustain anyway?
