Big delay when summoning egi?

[taquito]

Anyone notice the long animation delay when you summon any of those 3 egi and they perform their initial burst? Are you able to cast anything besides non-gcd spells during that time?

The delay is that your Egis need to move into range to use their AoE attack. If a pack of mobs is moving, this can result in your Egi not attacking at all. SMN has always been like that. But, yeah, you can attack freely.

While I do hope they change it in the future, this gets fixed at 90. Ruby Ifrit and Topaz Titan both use their abilities from range like Garuda-egi does pre-90.
