Summoner/Make Carbuncle useful again

[Mikey_R]

Considering you cannot use Carbuncle actions whilst you have the demi summons out or when you have the summon 2 animations playing will seriously restrict when you can use them. Infact, this is the whole reason Searing Light was changed from a Carbuncle action to a SMN one.

This.

Me personally, I would just like Carby to have a (SCH) Ruin 2 type ability again. An instant cast attack it peppers the enemy with over time. Would give it SOMEthing to do, and still make it responsive to Radiant Aegis use since it would just be an instant cast spell so wouldn't block a quick oGCD use, mechanically. [EDIT: Saw some people mention auto-attacking doing this, so that could work as well. A ranged auto-attack in the form of a little magic ball/Ruin spell for the animation would do the same job. Just something it can peper the enemy with over time so it's not entirely just sitting around between summons. ]

I also remember some big fight once where the team won AS THE SCREEN WAS FADING TO BLACK because their SMN's Carby or Egi or whatever was still attacking the boss and got the last hit in. And something about that is hilarious to me and needs to exist.
