Summoner Over-Nered (and A few other Problems)

[Ariomi]

If only we had an ability which would allow us to bring back our pet instantly if it died... We'd call that "Swiftcast", because it'd allow us to cast swiftly.
I'm so good at coming up with names of things that absolutly do not exist yet. Good job me.

Except that re-summoning our pet costs us about 25% of our mp and swiftcast has a minute cooldown. Try Again. I don't recall any other dps class having to sacrifice 25% of their tp/mp to do full damage.

Except that Sustain never saved a pet getting instakilled from a boss cleave or very powerful DoT.
Besides, you'll actually die more frequently than your pet does under your control while doing some duties.

Another thing, a SMN currently has ~13300 mana. A pet summon cost 2400. It's less than 20%. 18% to be precise. Not your grossly over-estimated 25%.

So no, I don't mind spending 18% of my mana once in a blue moon because I forgot to take my pet back before a cleave.
Stop acting like your pet dies every 2 minutes. It doesn't.
