Annoying SMN pet dismiss sound

Alternatively they could just make the Summon Carbuncle a cosmetic spell.

The pet literally does nothing (mechanically AND visually) other than become a liability for your shield usage.

It is absolutely useless except that it is there to look pretty, but in addition it unnecessarily creates problems in the rotation such as the inability to use the buff in the demi phases, and the firsts second of elemental summon, and it's the same for the shield, carbuncles must not interfere at all in battle not even for secondary spells, or else it must not be replaced by a demi/elemental

Don't get me wrong, I like the little fella... When I'm chiling out in cities or running casual content. I'm not even that mad at Radiant Aegis because it's a planned moment, but the shield? I need that on a case-to-case situation, and like you said, it's unavailable for many moments. Sometimes even at that small fraction that a Primal appears to do its thing, is the moment you're about to eat a telegraph by mistake and the shield is not... available. If the shield is meant to be an emergency button, it should be available all the time. And needless to say that SMN got plenty of weaving slots available.

Secondly, sometimes the animation of the Carby popping out, then back in over and over is a bit distracting, as it happens right next to your character. So making Summon Carbuncle just a cosmetic spell would literally please everyone while making SMN's utility a bit less clunky to use.
