Carbuncle needs some help.

It's just a vestigial lump of a job mechanic now atrophied into a glorified minion.

I say either add back in actual pet mechanics back into it, or delete it entirely and replace it with it being a particle effect that pops up for the shield ability, kind of like how reaper's "pet" (not pet) pops up for some abilities.

This is my wish too, but damn are my expectations absolutely ABYSMAL rn

It was absent in the benchmark when the SMN was just using what looked like a Fester upgrade, so it might be getting removed.

No blue flash tips me off to it possibly being a ramuh gemspell

Yes, at this point I'd rather they delete the pet and have carby come out for Radiant Aegis and Searing Light as part of their animation like all the other summon attacks. Give ARC Carby as a minion like WHM gets their unicorn.

What a tragic death for the "fighting alongside a combat familiar" archetype caster :'(
