    I don't even play SMN and I support this. Chicken nugget is the best, and deserves to be fixed. I'm still lost on why sustain was removed, but I wonder if just baking sustains effect permanently into Titan would be acceptable.

    Or just give sustain back. That'd work.

    Aside from the problems with the loss of sustain another often missed issue with Titan-egi now is, if you are soloing at level 70 and reach the point wherein you can summon Bahamut you are punished by losing your tank if you do so. Even if Titan-egi reappears afterwards, he has no enmity and is basically useless as a tank. If you decide not to trigger Bahamut, you cannot access a lot of your abilities since your aether stacks are tied up indefinitely until you do.

    Another side effect is that if you're doing hunts, it(and mind that this is purely eyeball math that I haven't tested extensively) appears to zero out the credit generated by your pet the same way it does if your egi/chocobo die during the fight.

    It seems like it was rushed job for the review of the summoner abilities. It seems like they honestly don't know what to do with summoner in the game. Sustain needs to be given back to summoners.

    Think they should left summoner's alone and just gave them better ability's. Its pretty bad when titan-egi looses to monster 5 levels below it soloing when I'm attacking another. It use to be able to handle groups of monsters.

    SMN at Lvl 70 suffers for solo play. Bahamut is required for dps, but doesn't take titan aggro and when titan returns he has 0 aggro and most likely won't get it back

    just use ifrit or garuda egi and cross class drain when you need to solo things. Waaaaay faster than doing things with titan egi ever was.

    Assuming he stays up long enough to even get to Bahamut.

    I'd prefer if it just got reworked instead, tbh. Nobody else has a "pocket tank" as an integral part of their kit; why do Summoners? I'd much rather they make him relevant than keep bandaid buffing things like his defense or enmity so he has some kind of bogus niche in soloing A ranks or boss FATEs. Make him a buff pet, an AOE-oriented pet, SOMETHING - I don't even use him anymore, it's just faster and easier to kill the mob with a damage pet than limp along with Titan-Egi, IMO. If this game had a plethora of open-world solo content to explore I'd feel his design has merit, but given that everything meaningful is locked behind group content that requires a tank anyway I just don't see why people are still clinging to this hyper-niche function of his. I'd rather have Titan be a non-troll choice in dungeon or raid content more than I'd rather be able to cheese hunts. Maybe that's just me.

    SMN was seriously over-nerfed this time. Going by experience, it won't get fixed soon, if ever. Now we have a tank pet that can't tank and a DPS pet that has had her dps nerfed along with the SMN itself which has lost most of our aoe damage. Typical of SE to go way overboard.
