If they don’t go that can’t happen at all. Carbuncles are the future of the job, not Avatars.
Hate to break this to you but you never going to get factual pet mechanics or even a full pet job. They have been trying for YEARS to get the pet ai to work and every time they never can get it to work. One of the reasons why we got the smn we have now is because the pet system and old smn as a whole were at a breaking point. Also, yoshi P has said before how much he dislikes pet jobs. So if you holding out for smn to be reworked AGAIN to be a pet class then you be waiting forever and it might be best to move on from that. I said this in another thread but I think it best for them to focus on the current smn and make it better rather than throwing out everything they have done and starting over. You never going to get your perfect pet job smn, at least not with the ff14 dev team. Also, a lot of us are just tired of the rework after rework smn gets and rather the dev team stick to one version of smn and improve upon it. Hitting a reset every time isn't going to make the job better or move it forward.
