Carbuncle needs some help.

[TheCat]

There was an option to put them in passive mode, so no agro. I miss my pets as a StB smn main. I miss smn in general.

Wish my noob self had known this :'D

WTB egi glamours for max levels.

Gimme some chonky carbuncles!

[rawker]

I remember doing lowlvl quests after I just started playing and the dang carbuncle always pulled EVERY. SINGLE. MOB. in the area and got me killed. I ended up deleting the whole char and started over as archer lol

People who played back then are GRATEFUL the carbuncle is just standing around looking dumb these days

Dont generalize. I DESPISE EW SMN

Wish my noob self had known this :'D

this is something SE fell short on and they still fall short on is explaining specific jobs mechs and how certain jobs are played especially summoner and dark back then.

maybe in non fightin situations they could be given whatever code some of the minions use, carbuncle quite frankly right now is dumb, and i feel bad for him, you cant pet the carbuncle, well, you can but it wont respond, you cant call one over, they dont anything quirky.....except twitch, they're just a magical lump.

It would be so cool if they did something neat when you pet one, or when you idle they start walking around or floating, or run up the character and perch on their shoulder or head like certain minions do.

As a Lalafell, I would have to hope Carbies are totally weightless then, because if not, it would break my neck! lol

I would like them to be able to respond to minion like commands/interactions when not in combat though. Let it curl up in your lap if you’re sitting on your couch or something. Like you said, let it have a little more personality!

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

I doubt they’re going to remove it at this point. A lot of us love our Carbies! As for the benchmark though, I have high hopes that was actually something from Ramuh, and the Carby wasn’t present because it’s part of a summon’s action.

Yes I know… dataminers didn’t find anything but S.B. (iykyk), but it wouldn’t be the first time we’ve been surprised!

I still play SMN despite hating the rework, but I think I might drop it entirely (other than when I'm leveling SCH) if they removed Carbuncle completely. It's already bad enough at level 90 they take away your Carbuncle attacks and replace them with primals (Egi glamour exists! Let me use the animations I was using for 70 levels!), but deleting it entirely? There would be nothing left of a job I've loved since 2.0

Drop SMN as early as possible. If SE finds out that the veteran players drop playing SMN altogether, they will get the message that the monstrosity that is EW SMN is to blame.

That's why I have Carbuncle pet glamoured on SCH.

[DracotheDragon]

I kind of hope with lvl 100 summoner carbuncle and our gemstone summons can auto attack while we are attuned simmilar to Demi bahamut and demi pheonix, it dosnt need to be strong just an extra auto attack to make them do something otherwise just have us summon carby when we attune / use our shield insted of just having him disassociate in the middle of a battle.

[rawker]

the entire ACN class started as a pet class. It should retain its identity and can still be seen with SMN and SCH. The pet should take damage and gain enmity so we have another entity to manage. In fact, they could have just made the egi's do the attack that current SMN is doing then after some time, it can be enkindled to summon the bigger version of the primal. I really hate what they've done to the job.

[Mistress_Irika]

I find it very odd that we went from having to protect our own carbuncles from getting nuked to Carby now protecting us while not being targetable. What strange times we live in. If they're going to keep carbuncles from little interaction can the glam be updated at least? How is it that Alphinaud is the only one to walk around with a white/silver carbuncle? (I kid on the Alphinaud part. Please don't take it seriously.)
