    I tried to see how far I could go in an unsynched lvl 60 dungeon. I nearly died at three trash mobs..not only can I not heal Titan, it also cant keep aggro. My DPS was way too much and it lost aggro on the monsters really fast. I was running in circles like a headless chicken and only survived with 1% of my life..three lvl 60 dungeon trash mobs as a lvl70 summoner. That hurt. I stood no chance against the boss. Even my scholar was able to hold out longer against the boss but a summoner has no good heal, no good defense and we also cant use our lvl 70 skill if we want Titan to keep aggro.

    Without titan I was even more in pain with these three trash monsters..because they all went to me and none cared about my DPS egis..A friend of mine went in with a lvl 61 tank..he survived the trash monsters too..and he was not even lvl 70.

    I am not even sure how we ever should be able to beat PotD now..even with the new potions..

    Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX Q&A Summary (10/30/2013)
    Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
    A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.

    Or they could balance things better and not leave chicken nugget behind. I'm sure people miss sustain like no other and are tired of using garuda for every single thing like they have been for years. why give multiple pets when one is superior?
    I rarely ever see ifrit out.

    Ifrit is actually better in a typical raid composition, FYI. It's not really the devs' fault that people don't bother reading pet abilities and conceptualizing which Egi is a better choice for which scenario. That being said, Titan-Egi isn't really a good choice for any scenario, IMO, because any scenario in which you honestly require a tank is content where you're going to have one anyway. This is why I'd really like to see him reworked into something more valuable for party comps. People seem really clingy to the idea of him being a pocket tank though, for reasons I can't grasp. Is soloing A ranks or cheesing PoTD that important to people?

    They have an opportunity to add some utility to SMN's Devotion, as it stands it's just a lazy, each pet does the same thing ability.

    The way SMN devotion currently works, it's just a 15 second duration, however I would change it to allow the Summoner to pick a target.

    Garuda could boost Magic/Healing/Range dmg for 15 second on said target
    Ifrit could boost melee dmg for 15 second on said target
    Titan could reduce dmg taken by say 5% on said target for again 15 seconds.

    I don't think utility like this would break the game or imbalance it in any way and it would at least bring some use to each egi as the situation calls for it.

    This is what I find odd. Self heals got axed or nerfed to high hell for many jobs with the removal of the old system. Yet, solo content options still exist in the game like fates or PotD.

    I say Melee DPS should get Second Wind on a 2.5 cooldown similar to Physick costing in range 8-70TP depending on the level.
    Summoner should get auto regen trait for pet.

    Maybe they are finally going to overhaul classes and actually make them better than jobs for solo stuff? Probably not though since every job doesn't have a class form lol.

    Rework titan into a ranged like garuda but gives the summoner a permanent cover status until the egi dies. That way single target dps is soaked by the egi but unavoidable aoe damage commonly in raids will still hit the summoner. If you want utility make it so you can pick who he teathers to and he takes 50% of their damage for them or so.
