* Same for the major summon nukes, they're now pet attacks, triggered by GCD-inducing command skills on the Summoner.
* Summons stay out until a new one is summoned (pressing shield aborts them, brings out Carbuncle, buff shield to compensate).
* Reduce damage output slightly, give summons an autoattack that perfectly compensates the damage lost (so we got a DoT again, too!).

Done. I mean of course, about nothing has changed, gameplay is 99% identical. But the pet attacks, that visual distiction seems to be the big issue? (I'm not poking fun at it, I would like that change, but I also don't see the big deal)
we still need more pets not copies of the old ones thou
