Sustain on SMN

[EZ5902]

Uh gonna cut to the point here, sustain is crap, it needs a boost, its really bad on ifrit-egi, since he likes every aoe and likes to be poisoned alot in melee range.

And before anyone says, no many don't want to use garuda, i prefer ifrits shield/stun.

Currently, the sustain gives us 3 ticks sometimes 4, clearly not enough to keep ifrit/titan up.

So yeah, needs a buff, id say 10% of summon's HP for 20 seconds.

Make it an OGCD toggle that drains MP.

Fixt.

Or, Big OR here, healers get good.

Sorry but no, your own pet is your responsibility.
I already have enough issues with crazy people running into everything i don't need to focus on an hp bar above your pet as well (which is toggled off on my screen btw, hate clutter)

Do you have any idea how hard it is sometimes to click something on the field instead of in a party list? If the pet was in the party list I'd care more. Ifrit goes straight to the boss, in exactly the same spot that melee dps hang out, and on top of that he is small. Usually I end up clicking either the dps, the tank, or the boss. I dont have time screwing around with trying to click objects on the field. If it was that easy, then I would be healing by clicking on the field instead of the party list

Medica 2 takes too much skill bro

If its not on my party list it doesn't get healed. Unless I literally have nothing better to do.

It's the SMNers job to look after their pet, give them the ability to do so.

Summoners have better things to do than get deadlocked into spamming sustain, physic, summons on their pets constantly. Especially from unavoidable damage and damage the no pet can be trusted to evade (yes even Garuda is not safe just like any spellcaster who refuses to move).

On top of that you can see their HP bar by default simply by looking at them, unless you turned that off for some awful reason. >:|

Damage Dealers' job is to deal damage, NOT healing. Responsibilities change while solo.

Healers' job is to heal the entire party. Pets are a significant power to pet jobs, without them, they aren't good. Very simple to understand. Having to toss a pet a regen is nothing to get all pissy about. I easily do it on a whim cause it's THAT easy, most of the time by AoE healing. SMNs don't have to worry about pets dying, no sustain=happy SMN melting peoples faces with their pet in glee. I don't care if MCHs can bring their turrets back on whim, they're getting healed too. I'll even do it for SCH's pets even if he's my co healer, because if the fairy is hurt, then she will use embrace on herself, which is a terrible, TERRIBLE thing to let happen. None of this needs to be spelled out. But of course loads of healers just snooze about and be obsessed with DPS in this game.

Not healers job to look after SMN pet, again the reason why i would like a better sustain, its their job to look after THEIR pet, I turned their hp bar off because I don't need more junk onscreen.

Healers job is to keep the party alive not JUST heal, and again reason why pets need a better sustain.
How can you snooze about and be obsessed with dpsing? That's conflicting lol
I'd rather not stand in one spot waiting for a tank to lose 5%hp, no thank you!

I'd rather make Sustain a tick longer and then make Physic worth a damn at 60.
