I personally am not a fan of carbuncle, i am a diehard ffxi lolpup. I wanted a pet job. Another way to interperet things is that summoner will still have carby, but gain the one shot spells and abilities to be used simultaneously while having him out. Having an ifrit move which creates a single crack under mobs or a garuda move to push back mobs doesnt seem op to me while still having carby out as long as its balanced properly.
Ah I see. After reading all of these posts I'm pretty sure they're going to be perma-pets now, I didn't think so at the start but by reading people's opinions they'd be silly to make them single-shot pets (even though I'd quite like it). Supposedly classes were supposed to be solo jobs, whereas jobs were specialised for parties, in which case switching pet Carby out for nukes would make logical sense, since the Primal roles could easily be covered by other people's jobs, but I don't think that's the route they're taking.

As long as there's some kind of regulation that stops everyone running around towns with Ifrit running around then I won't really care =b My pet-hate (*cough*) about perma-pets is that everyone runs around town thinking that theirs is special! WE ALL HAVE ONE, LEAVE ME ALONE!
