Im not good enough to figure out what this would look like on an ability to ability level.

I also feel like demis and arcanums shouldnt remove carbuncle. There is zero reason for it, but make carbuncle function like DRK's living shadow. It runs through a steady rotation, (and give it glamours beyond carbuncles for flavour) Give summoner ability OGCD's that empower or draw out speific things from that constand pet. Hell even make it so cabuncle acts like old Bahamut demi where it will execute an attack based on when you do.

final change id make is to allow banking of arcanum on a minute cooldown for Garuda, ifrit, Phoenix and Temu Banamut. So you can choose when to use it rather than force it within the window it currently is.

Overall it wouldnt likely change much, but breaking the punishing conveyer is needed and would mke the job a bit more difficult.

SMN could be a bit like blm in that conceptually its rotation isnt hard, but executionally is it.

Currently both concept and execution are easy unless you have high ping.
thank you :3 finally someone who comment on actualy redesign idea rather than the raise tax me added at the very end. would also appreciate if u read the redesign idea.

agree about the pet not replaced by demis, also bring back pet actions. as somethin that empower pets, maybe remember enkindle, rouse, spur?

However im opposed to reverting summoner to a ramper like in stormblood. While summoner should be harder I dont think it should have a 2 minute opener just to build up 1 demi. The current ability to have a demi during the opener is something many of us begged for.
1st, i didnt mind 2mins opener, it wasnt that hard. 2nd, pls read about my redesign 1st. u can ignore the raise tax part if u not agree with it. yes raise tax shouldnt be a thing in a 1st place if u read my other comments.

god forbid people read before comment
