NcSoft buffed SM. You used to see Fire Spirit, and Wind Spirit. But they gave pet run speed, so now Earth pet runs as fast as Wind used to. You basically have be to pants-on-head retarded not to have Earth Spirit out 100% of the time. Not to mention the 20s Spirit Sub with a 3m CD. Incentive NOT to use other pets.

NcSoft is best company. SM is fair and balanced.
