Summoner and the upcoming changes

[Fyce]

Didn't say I can't solo 'em, I said what's the point of Titan-Egi now and why was sustain even removed? Learn to read.

It's a HP buffer which act as a tempoary shield before the enemy starts attacking you.

If I had to learn how to read, I'd not be asking you to teach me for sure.

I use Titan-Egi all the time when doing my quests and FATEs on the way. It almost never dies, and absolutly never caused me any issue when it did.

If you can't kill an enemy before Titan-Egi is killed (outside of dungeons, trials, and raids, obviously), you likely have no business fighting it in the first place. You'd be better off using Garuda or Ifrit's extra DPS to burn it down instead of using Titan as an "HP Buffer." The removal of sustain only proves how poor a concept "tank" pets are without a means to maintain them.

Not only was the removal of Sustain a slap in the face to summoners (and Scholars to a certain extent), they saw fit not to adjust physick to scale with our main attribute, while giving red mage a healing spell that scales with theirs. I'd much rather they remove physick from summoner and give us sustain instead. There is no situation where a paltry heal of 500ish HP means anything to a summoner, solo or otherwise.

A lot of enemies in the open world cast AoEs. Titan-egi allows us to completly ignore those. It also helps to reduce issues you may have if you aggro more enemies than you can handle on your own (would it be on purpore or by accident). This is especially true during FATEs.
While its DPS is lower than Ifrit and Garuda, it mostly doesn't matter in open world content.

It's still the most "comfortable" pet to have when doing hours and hours of questing.

Having a situational pet is fine.
