It would make sense if that delay only happened when party health is below 100% so she is casting. Even prepping the fey illum when party is full has a noticeable delay (she shouldn't be casting anything when party is full health). That side effect of carby doing nothing is the exact reason I stopped playing SMN and my retainer keeps the soul stone. I'm a summoner, why is my pet doing literally nothing?
