The problem with Summoners

[Sunako]

Some ideas I have for Ifrit

- stun should be like gap closer like how shoulder tackle works
- Increase aoe attack range and probably some damage
- radiant shield should have more utility, let us use it on tank or replace it for something else

Heres the thing, Ifrit is already better in any fight that dosent have frequent boss movement/target switching.

With the Ruin changes we really dont starve for mana like we used to. If we give him these buffs, its the same problem with one summon being better then the other (and this would make him MUCH better. The Radiant Shield change alone would add a ton of damage)

I'm inclined to agree with this. I don't think anything needs to be adjusted in terms of one particular summon. Any changes need to be made to the job as a whole, not just a particular pet.

The Radiant shield buff would be nice, but its not necessary. If anything Ifrit's Flaming crush is still in dire need of a hotfix, the ability needs its radius widen. As it stand Flaming crush can only hit one or two enemies at a time, because the radius is right under Ifrit and expands about where his target circle is.
