Summoner Early Post-Launch Feedback at level 80

Oh it's worse than that CecMiller. Apparently the pets are broken as well. I even did a full test of admittedly simplified (sample size, rough hand estimates of average damage) of every ability and auto attack and found that the initial observation of the thread is correct: pet scaling is broken, and the best case scenario has 75% of summoner potency values (Garuda-egi), whereas Ifrit-egi and Titan-egi are both 50% summoner potency values. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-egi-is-bugged. The scaling is so skewed that a 60 potency attack on Garuda is identical in damage to a 100 potency attack from ifrit. It's insane.

It's a pretty insane difference, but it worked like this for a long time, there is no bug here, although I wish they'd just normalize pet damage/potency to be the same as players, and adjust the potencies accordingly.

No, the issue is Garuda has better scaling than Ifrit and Titan, so Garuda is actually more damage than Titan, outright, and is pretty close to Ifrit despite allegedly being an AoE pet.

It's not a bug, Garuda had better scaling than the melee pets did in SB. The difference is the melee egis previously had auto attacks to compensate (which were removed for some reason). I do wish they would normalise pet scaling as well and just adjust the potencies of their skills, but pet scaling is definitely not bugged.

I mean, it wasn't a bug in Stormblood, it's a bug in Shadowbringers.
