unfortunately, given how the summoning works in implementation, it is not feasible, unless we send all the times adrift. If we did that, it would mean that the summon would take 1.5/2 seconds longer to disappear, making the carbuncle even more useless by practically reducing its window to 0, unless we reduce the windows of the various summons. One way to make it more caster would be to introduce casts on titan at 1.5 and on Bahamut. However, introducing a resource management system that allows you to have mobility when needed, like the one present in shB. unfortunately for the new smn there is nothing that can be done to fix it, except reconsidering everything.
