2. oGCD

I can agree that its a too much. We have 4 from EA, 1 from ED/S, 2 from painflare/fester, Tri-D, dreadwyrm trance, demi-bahamut & ark morn, phoenix & revelation, 3 egi summons, 1 devotion and 1 egi's enkindle. While firebird trance and dreadwyrm trance reduces our spellcasting time to 0 across the board (except rez) it quickly overwhelms as the fight escalates. Not to mention every caster dps or healer are pretty flashy with out smn at the top with our giant demi summons, you are under much bigger pressure in and out. The fact that our oGCD management is crucial part in our dps makes this problem even bigger.

I've seen a lot of people questioning the necessity to have ED/ES and I agree as well. Making fester and painflare 15sec CD (which I believe it was suggested on the forum, can't remember exactly where) would lift up a lot of pressure off our shoulder. Also EA doesn't need to be our oGCD I feel. While pet is faaaaar more responsive (and yes they are so much more responsive), rather than have them act off our oGCD make those skills to operate independent to our actions would again life off the pressure. Phoenix feels slight less responsive than bahamut but it didn't feel too much of a problem. Not sure that was just me though.

A lot of people also said that egis forget the actions that we commanded them to do, but I never felt that. Times when pet's action was ignored happen and I've only seen them happen when mobs die after I give the command but die before egi executes it. So if fix is to happen than either make our skill not go on CD or like I suggested, make them independent to our actions therefore it goes on CD not on our action but egi's action.
