Sustain

snip

Depending on how the MT moves for lightning markers, Ifrit will be hit with them fairly often. In O3S along with dragon phase, ifrit can be hit with books and magic hammers in library as well as reaper charges. Again, dependent on where your tank is positioning the boss. Anything where you want Titan to tank for you (he needs to be buffed in general) so again, PoTD, soloing B, A, and S tank hunts, he will be taking constant damage, and likely die, because no heal. Chimeras Ifrit will pretty much always be hit by Ram's voice unless you want to take the dps loss of constantly moving him all the time forever, he is going to get hit.

If you don't see a reason for it, then don't use it, but a lot of people clearly do.

Thats things where you can move your pet
Adjusting, and you are fine.

Sustain makes Summoner life way to easy in my eyes.

Moving ifrit like that is a dps loss. Full stop. That's a ruin 2, instead of a ruin 1/3/4, and then there's potentially having to move him off the boss entirely, which is another dps loss because he only attacks from melee range. That's even if you can actually manage to move him in the span of the GCD so you're not clipping.

There's a difference between artificial difficulty and actual complexity. Summoner is clunky enough without constantly repositioning your pet. Again, if you feel sustain makes things "too easy" then don't use it.

not to mention 95% of the time, your pet DOESNT move until AFTER it gets hit
