Summoner Rework Ideas

[Carighan]

A permanent Carbuncle could allow for it to have a separate, extreme range auto attack of its own, such as setting it at like 50y, which would mean that it would never run into the issue of being just slightly out of range during an encounter. It would still only attack whatever your own target is, but as your character would still need to be within whatever normal range of spells was to begin combat, it wouldn't be able to just attack anything willy nilly out of normal combat range.

One issue I have with this is that this is just extra steps instead of adding +X potency to our Ruin nuke, basically. Since it only attacks when we're attack. The pet has no physical body (it's immune to AoEs and like you said, always in range) of meaning, it has no function of meaning (it adds +X damage to our attacks) and it provides no function we'd need a second entity on the battlefield for.
