Request- Some form of carbuncle for Summoner.

[Dwill]

Considering from a design standpoint Carbuncle = Egi, they share the same abilities and stats for the most part, heck even greater at 50 actually.

Garuda technically has better stats than Carbuncle because summons snapshot your stats at the time of their summoning and the Summoner Soul Crystal gives you more intelligence therefore Garuda's intelligence becomes technically higher. Also, Garuda's spell are all of a higher potency as well so even if the Soul Crystal would give you no bonus, she'd still be better than Carbuncle.

So when geared, you can still do good DPS, since your Pet doesn't do great damage as is as the majority of your DPS comes from your DoTs and Fester anyway.

Summons do 25-30% of your total damage output, that's pretty great damage if you ask me.
