Customary "When are summoners getting new summons" thread

It's pretty much a non-issue to keep the pet alive. In any AOE heavy battle, a good SMN will always have Sustain on. A better SMN will always Heel a pet to his location to keep him out of AoEs that he isn't standing in himself. If things are really bad, the SMN can always Physick the pet.

You could have the pet be a bit 'meh' like it is currently but having the characters gameplay involve building up to temporarily power up the pet so it's 'woah' for a short time.

Sustained DoT with a bit of burst here and there is basic Summoner gameplay, just put the burst bit on the pet and surely almost everyone is happy then.

So, buff Rouse?

Myabe buff spur instead since SCH has access to rouse.

Maybe a secondary Enkindle skill, too.

They should make it so that each of the Summoner's DoTs on the enemy increases the pet's damage by 5 or 10%, and slightly reduce damage elsewhere on their kit to even it out. I dunno. It'd certainly encourage more miasma II usage.

Never been a fan of "Let's make one thing stronger and another thing weaker". What's the point of adjusting something of the results are the same?

What's the point of the job being called Summoner when the pet feels so underwhelming t-t

Whenever I'd tank, I'd probably have to stop using voice chat because I wouldn't want the party to hear my uncontrollable sobbing on the other end. It's bad enough when WHM try to help in dungeons and send my mobs flying =D

I've made good use of my machinist knockback recently.

I've gotten roulette in Dezmael Darkhold a few times.
There's that one pull with the bogy enemy near the crystal around the corner...

Follow the tank around and blank shot it into the crystal area.
Also, the one in the big room with the crystal in the corner.

Make ifrit-egi great again! Or make the contagion is SMN ability.
