Shadowbringer: Summoner Changes Discussion

[Valmarus]

I'm finding that low level SMN ability to solo mobs in the field has been utterly destroyed by the pet changes. At level 38 with healing focused chocobo companion I'm constantly finding that mobs as low as lvl 31* (depending on the mob) are quite capable of bringing you to the edge of death. I've got fairly good gear for my level also but taking the brunt of all attacks, well, we're just far too squishy for that. Without the pet between us and the mob they're just tearing through my HP. It makes doing fates certain other activities problematic. I've said it before but it seems like this patch has been completely balanced around lvl 60+ with little regard for getting there.

*Just thought I'd add this note that this was a malboro type mob which granted are more difficult than other mobs comparatively just so I don't look too incompetent. But a 7 level advantage on my part should make it a walkover.

Lv 78 and i love the changing of SMN so far, we lost some skill but our oGCD go up instead, so it's feel our new rotaion more busy than the old one, also the phoenix phase make me feel like i am a walking nuke in big pull, lol
